<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Our trip started off on a stormy day from <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Athens</st1:city>, <st1:country-region w:st="on">Greece</st1:country-region></st1:place>. </span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Headed off towards the <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:placetype w:st="on">port</st1:placetype>
of <st1:placename w:st="on">Patras</st1:placename></st1:place> (a distance of
250km). All though the initial Attiki odos and national road to the ancient
town of <st1:city w:st="on">Corinth</st1:city> is great (with toll costs being
around 3.5 euros), the road from there to Patras is probably the worst you will
find in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Greece, due to unfinished road-work (for the last few years)</st1:country-region></st1:place>.
A shame really considering that this is the road that connects us to <st1:place w:st="on">Europe</st1:place>. Mostly 1 lane in each direction with no
protection from the oncoming traffic, it’s quite dramatic in the rain,
especially at night and with a motorbike. The tarmac needs attention as
previous lane-lines have been blacked out with a very slippery when wet
paint... However the view both towards the sea on your right and the tall
mountains on your left make up for it, especially in daylight. And when you
approach Patra, you get a stunning view of the new Rio-Antirio bridge.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">As we left our house late in the day, we just made the ferry to <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Venice</st1:place></st1:city> for about 5
minutes. That was certainly due to our 999cc companion, as it took us and our
100kg load easily through the extreme weather conditions to our destination.
The wind and rain protection the bike gives is great, and in combination with
our new KTM PowerWear rain suits, we hardly felt any moisture on our skin
for the whole trip. Fully loaded I managed to get 220km out of 16litres of
regular unleaded fuel (at the time 1.85Euros/Litre, in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Athens</st1:place></st1:city>).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">The ferry trip (Patra-Igoumenitsa-Venice) is a total of around 34
hours.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in;">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">It sounds quite a lot but if you have a cabin then the trip can
actually be regenerative. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">Arriving at <st1:city w:st="on">Venice</st1:city>,
I set the GPS with our next destination, <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:city w:st="on">Klagenfurt</st1:city>,
<st1:country-region w:st="on">Austria</st1:country-region></st1:place> just
300km north-east. Our initial target was to complete the trip in small
increments and as bad weather greeted us off the ferry in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Italy</st1:country-region></st1:place>, it seemed we would spend the
night in this pretty Austrian lakeside town. However when we entered the first
long tunnel in <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Austria</st1:place></st1:country-region>
we came out the other side, only with the need to pull over and unpack our
sun-glasses.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 13.5pt;">This being the case we took
advantage of it and continued another 350km to arrive in <st1:city w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Vienna</st1:place></st1:city> later on in the evening. </span></div>

Extra touring parts include: Side Gobi cases, Tank bag, Extended carrier plate, KTM roll bag (with additional luggage secured on top), Garmin Nuvi 510 GPS with Touratech bracket, Touring windscreen, Touratech seat, and maybe the most important change I've made to the bike but cannot be seen in the pictures is the KTM PowerParts throttle cam (Using the #500). This cam has made the bike's throttle less responsive, improving it greatly in my opinion. Easier to drive off road, over bumps and of course on trips. It also improves fuel consumption.Alfanohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09366820972046241664noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1252847532910058626.post-27914538272790408662012-04-27T18:27:00.000+03:002012-04-27T18:41:35.560+03:00Extended carrier plate from KTM-PowerParts.<br />

It measures around 40cm at widest and 32 at narrowest side. It was worth every cent. In combination with the KTM roll-bag, loading and unloading is made easy and secure.

The difference is obvious. More low end torque and high end power. It put me back around 120 Euros. However the factory filter needs changing with every big service, but this one can be cleaned and re-used, making it cheaper in the long run. Has anyone else used this? Please post!<br />

It was finally just a case of unbalanced wheels. Make sure you do so on the Adventure, because the large diameter of the wheels (In comparison with 17") makes the vibration even more noticable IMO. Now at 200km/h I can hold on with one hand (Or so to speak). Also it is best using the lead weights that stick on the rim rather than those on the spokes.<br />
