TR--the plan is still the CTX, but there are other conversations happening, too.  Zim certainly IS on my to visit list right now, but that's just the kind of guy I am. Stephan, can you give me that contact? Any more thoughts from anybody?

I'm planning a trip and would appreciate any knowledge about visas, road conditions, petrol availability, or whatever. Can anybody tell if I need a yellow fever vaccine for this route? Visa costs and if they need to be arranged ahead of time (I'm from the US on a temp res permit in SA). ...

Good stuff--thanks!

Guess this is all what I figured!  I've got the regular spares for the CTX and won't expect to find an official shop!  Thanks for the words, guys.

Anybody know if are motorcycles allowed in Hlane National Park, Swaziland?

Planning an overland trip.  Anybody know of any official Honda wrenches in the countries above?  What about non-official? Adam

looking to ride to Moz, then ZIm, the Bots, then back into SA.  I'm an AMerican on a residence permit here.  ANybody got any idea if I can just show up at each of these borders is succession and ride in? (I'm also assuming Lesotho and Swaziland won't hassle me, right?) Adam

Two questions: 1. Any recommendations about putting an in-line fuel filter on my Honda CTX200?  Planning on riding into some of our neighboring countries to the north and worried dirty fuel might foul the carbs... 2. To this end, anybody got any tips on a hand-filter of some type to run your...

Anybody got a store they'd recommend to find a quality stove (MSR/Coleman) in Maritzburg or Durban?

I'm looking for a stove that is small, stable, and simple, (preferably cheap, too, of course!) that runs on unleaded fuel just like our bikes, along the lines of what Chris Scott recommended in the Adv. Mc Handbook, if you're familiar.  Any suggestions? I'm in South Africa and would really like...

Hey all.  Nice Forum.  Heard about you from someone over at Horizons Unlimited.  Glad I did. My wife and I moved to KZN a year ago to do some volunteer work.  Shortly thereafter I got a Honda CTX200 Bushlander, the farm bike.  Fun stuff. I haven't met any of y'all yet, but hope to.  You may...

Hey everyone, thanks for the warm welcome.  I've gotten something out in every bike magzine I've found here except 2Wheels (who weren't excited that I was writing for other magazines, so fair enough).  TopBike will run in August what I think is the best piece I've done here. As for the trip, I...

Hey Folks.  I'm new around here.  The deal:  I may have a free week all of the sudden over the holidays next month.  I have my bike (a Honda CTX200 farm bike) and live in the Central Drakensberg.  Given this (and that I don't want to spend much money, so backpackers or camping are it), where...
