Thanks for your comments and message so far

Hey T Jim - I woul dlike somemore info on your camera setup etc. Am quite interested in the GO - PRO stuff and mounts etc. I am getting one of the new Hero 3 + cameras in the next couple of days.
Enjoy your ride report so far. I love the small bike idea also. I just bought a small bike and am in the process of buying another. Want to also do some small bike rides. Makes you want to enjoy the surroundings more. I find on the big bike one ends up sometimes going faster when you hit somemore boring stretches and then you lose out on some good scenery etc.
Keep up the report. Lots of people are really enjoying it.
Cool. I will work on this when I next get some downtime. I would also like to document how I pack the bike and my general luggage setup too.
I'm really enjoying my little CTX. Apart from the odd highway I haven't found myself yearning for any more power and I try and avoid them anyway. There are other advantages too like being able to pretty much ride it anywhere as its so nimble and light.
Its really nice that my trip is also being enjoyed by so many others

Really enjoying your RR TJim
It seems that the small bike idea is catching on, especially as the cost of big bikes and their maintenance costs climb, besides more fun throwing a small bike around than picking up a beast (not that I would think of getting rid of my 950Adv
)
I use OSM on my gps too, but find quite big gaps in the info at times, not so much the Roads, as I add them as tracks to my unit, but the Info like Fuel/Food/Accom. I am going to read your thread on OSM and getting involved in expanding the map/knowledge base. Thanks Bud and ride Safe.
Good stuff! I've met a lot of people who are loving the little bike. I've had 7 offers to buy it when I come back already! I think its because I essentially sell it to them so well by explaining why I like it so much for my trip and then they want to buy it. heh.
I'm getting about 24 km's per litre so the fuel economy makes for a good saving too. The service is about 500 rand for parts and labour which is cheap too. I have dropped it a few times in deep sand and even with all my luggage on it I can still if it without problem.
Glad to hear you're helping out with the OSM project. I'm a big open source proponent and use open source software almost exclusively. My laptop is running Ubuntu 13.10 which is run by a company called Canonical which is owned by a South African (you may already have known this): Mark Shuttleworth.
If anyone else is reading this and wants to get involved here's the basic's :
1. Sign up for an account here :
http://openstreetmap.org/2. Navigate to an area of the world you are familiar with.
3. Click "Edit" and begin filling it in by tracing.
Its really as easy as that. I find it fun as maps are pretty cool. Also there's the knowledge you are helping create something great that's free and worthwhile.
