    Left hotel at 9am. It was 4c, wet and windy. Horrible ride to Bilbao. Only used front brakes twice. Tried a Honda garage in Bilbao but they had none. On boat now at least

    I know its not the most helpful now, but if you are staying in one place for a few days, you could order them online and have them delivered to the hotel to fit in a local garage.

    It only became an issue with 2 days to go. Imagined it would be a simple fix, as in find bike garage and fit pads. Then ferry delayed didn't help. If a Honda main dealer hasn't stock in a major city, then what. Fuck me, I'm on a Repsol blade flying the flag for Spain and they let me down

    Got home safely after very cold 240km ride this morning. 4c in jacket with liner removed and summer gloves no joke.
