What a great looking bike you have, congratulations on the end result.

It looks like it had been leaking previously when used since there were marks on the K&N filters from the petrol. I located the problem to th...

Lovely job, looks great and thanks for some details on the mods / upgrades.

Part 11 (Southern Namibia Leg) namibia (2)_LI_final.jpg Leaving Windhoek for the second time we headed south west towards Solitaire, unpaved roads and quite bad in places but the scenery is spectacular all day!

Part 10 (Northern Namibia Leg) namibia (2)_LI_final.jpg After a few days of recovery we were ready to depart Winhoek and headed almost due west towards the coast at Swakopmund stopping at Rossing Uranium mine, the largest open cast Uranium mine in the world, needless to say we were not allowed in. I...

Thanks for your kind words...… here we go with another instalment.

This...

Part 8 (Mozambique to Zimbabwe (Vic Falls) map6_LI_final.jpg Mozambique had only recently finished its civil war so there were signs everywhere warning you not to stray off the side of the road due to land mines. We had heard so many stories from other (mainly South African) travellers coming north ...
