    Riding South America - any experience

    Advice for Botswana, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Mozambique

    Great, thanks for the help. We're definitely hitting Vic Falls and planning on following the Zambezi river up on Zambia side, anyone know if there's a road that follows it up (I would imagine it's gorgeous), or other rides along that border up to Malawi worth checking out? Cheers

    WANTED: DualSport 400cc range bike

    Thanks guys for all the help already! The KLRs are great and we know they'd be perfect but also seem a bit out of our price range. We're looking to spend between 25-30K for each bike. The DRs seem to be the best option in that range and we've found both 400s and 650s within the pricerange. In...
