I think I read some where on TM that someone had packed thier grease gun for a European tour. What's the consensus gentlemen, surely our steeds are capable of a couple of weeks in Europe covering about 3k miles without attention to the knee joints

I take a grease gun on tour (wrapped in a plastic bag in the passenger footwell - others have mounted clips under the bonnet).

Mine has a place in my modified wooden tool tray.. But with a remote kit it's easy to give them a couple of pumps on tour.

I have a 2005 Plus 4 which has only the lower grease nipple and on a 2000 tour of Scotland greased every other day ( about 3 - 500 miles max).
Recently my 20,000 King pins were dismantled and had very very little wear. So I suppose the answer is" The more you grease the less you wear!"
