I am in Kenya at the moment. I can get GoldenTyre GT 201 here.

Hy guys- for those of you interested- my wife and I are riding through Africa on 2 yamaha xt250 bikes. Doing it minimalist style. We started in Cape Town about 2 months ago and aim to make it up to Sudan and back down again. We have a facebook page that we try and update with photos as we go...

Thanks a million!

Thanks for the reply! I am riding through botswana at the moment and I am very limited with internet access. Can someone please find and send me the contact details for the bmw and jungle junction. I will be extremely grateful!

Hi guys I will pass through Kenya in about a months time and will need to get some new tyres while I am there. Does anyone know where to get new tyres or who to contact? I want to contact them in advance so that I can make sure they have before I get there. Thanks!

quite an impressive resume you have there  :)

I will try contact Schumachers Thanks for the reply  :)

I am in Pretoria for the next 2 weeks and I need to get some gear while I am here. My old gear desperately needs to retire.  :'( !!! Looking for adventure riding style jacket, pants, helmet, gloves and probably something else I’m forgetting about. Can anybody recommend some shops in the PTA...

So just for the record... After looking at the prices I have decided to turn around at the Egyptian border and ride back down to Cape Town. The costs from the ferry into Egypt and getting ourselves and the bikes back to SA works out pretty much the same as turning around and riding back down...

I didn’t take into consideration that the GPS is only part of the expense. I would still need to buy maps, mountings, cables and whatever else. So I am going with the Etrex. Any suggestions on what maps to get for going up Africa, or is Tracks 4 Africa my only option?

Hi guys I’m looking for a GPS for a trip that will kick off later this year. I have never had a GPS but I think it will be necessary for this trip (to be honest a GPS is something I know next to nothing about) My budget is EXTREMELY limited and I have narrowed my choices down to 4. Etrex 20...

Thank you  :)

No thanks- not right now anyway. I was seriously considering buying one (2 actually, for me and the wife). Still considering but not sure anymore- the price baffles me... I just want to find out why the big price difference in SA? I am hoping someone can shine some light on the subject.

Why is the Honda CRF 250l so expensive in South Africa? If you read any CRF250l review you will quickly read songs of praise for how affordable the bike is. It is much cheaper than any of its competition- including the Yamaha XT 250. One review even said that for the price of the XT you can buy...
