OK, here are the rules:
- imagine you are planning a solo bike trip through Africa and it is not about getting from Cape Town to London in the quickest way possible, but exploring what Africa has to offer. Let’s say for 6 months.
- money is not an issue
- we are talking about the latest commercially available bike (therefore if discontinued the latest model that was released)
- to make it fair: ignore roadside assistance.
- think luggage, maintainability, terrain, enjoyment( fun) and obviously getting there!
