TRANSPORT
This year we are only putting the motorcycles on the carnet. Your Kit is a personal item so doesn’t need to be on there. Spares/fluids are consumable so should not be on there either. Tools should look like they are dedicated to the bike, then there are no questions.
On-site services: At parc ferme there is a:
- KTM parts vendor/dealership
- Food truck (please support him so that its there for next year)
- Workshop
- Payable mechanics….and they are good too.
TRANSPORT
Motorcycle
- Remove as much fuel as possible
- Attach V5 – so you don’t forget.
- Disable starter if you know how. Usual single plug behind headlight or disconnect the battery. We also have caps to fit over the start buttons.
Kit
Please use a large riding “Gear Bag” if you have one.
Boots
Either in your Gear Bagor in a boot bag (preferred), if loose they should be taped together.
Spares:
Minimal stuff again. Either on your bike or in your Gear Bag. There is a KTM dealership with spares at parc ferme.
Tyres/mousses
Yes, but tape together if more than one
Tyre changer/levers
Nominate somebody to bring one and share. Prefer a packable one.
Wheels !!!
Not very keen because they are difficult to load but above all are non-consumable and should go on the carnet so could cause issues. Again I am sure the workshop at parc ferme can supply a rim if shit happens. But if you need to take one, then please do.
Fuel Cans
Are not required. There are petrol stations on the routes each day and one 5 mins from parc ferme. If you want to bring one please make it Empty, 10 litres max and plastic.
Oils/Tools
Just the essentials and put them
- into your gear bag
- or in a shallow plastic box that will slide under your bike and is no wider than the bike if possible. There is a workshop on site for all the difficult fixes.
Please label the crap out of everything
