Newbie from Norway

Post by Gamlebardun »

Hello good folk.
Old dude, but new user on the forum, as I am finalizing taking over a used RT before the season starts, and I have tons of questions that needs answers.
Planning the ride of my life as far as the continent will take me this summer.

Perhaps I can start digging already?

I have read that a lot of users think that riding the RT gets very hot due to excessively good wind protection. Has anyone played around with solutions to this? Mount a deflector to direct airflow down behind the windscreen or something like that?

What toolset do you bring for an extended ride?

Happy new year!
