I hadn't had a decent adventure in while and neither had I ventured far north. So north I went with all the touring gear and a couple of ferry tickets to get over to Hokkaido and back. The FZ1 had new rubber, oil and coolant change, a couple of extra gadgets and I even went to work on the chain.

Started out with an ironbutt on day 1 to the very north of Hokkaido to maximize the touring time on the way back. Read about it here
