    2002 Africa Twin XRV for sale

Did many kilo's of dirt roads, so it does have a few scratches as proof, but nothing serious. The bike has done 91111 faultless km, never let me down. It has many extras and...

    Life in New Zealand - The move has been made...

    We went to check the options there earlier this year. Rented a car and did both islands. We loved NZ, just expensive for us though. Someone there mentioned that there are more people living in Auckland than on the whole South Island ? Unconfirmed though, but I'm sure very possible.

    Mobile internet in Africa ?

    Sorry, I forgot to mention that I have to send and receive emails and do EFT's. I presume it can be done with the local sims, as long as the phone is able to do it ?

    Mobile internet in Africa ?

    Afternoon all, I need to get mobile internet for data up and downloads on the trip I'm planning in places like Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Zimbabwe, Moz, etc. This is with the 4x4, so no space issues. And I'm thinking of Satelite based, not cellphone based because I'm not sure how much cell...
