Its been awhile since I was here, busy working. I am now closer to coming over, maybe in a few weeks or less. I will be air freighting my bike with QANTAS to Jo'burg, cost about the same as shipping and is quicker. To keep the cost down I need to keep the weight down. So, I intend to do the final prepping of the bike over there. It is my intention to ride through Africa, but I would like to take some time seeing SA, and as someone said, to test the bike out first.
I haven't got a GPS yet. Will I really need one?? Zumo's are cheaper here. I have decided on Andy Strapz exped panniers, I can carry them with me, and in SA I will buy the frames (less weight). How is it for sleeping bags there? I already have a tent, Thermarest, silk liner.

Thanks
