Also just got back after 9 days in Namibia and last 2 days at Afrika Burn.What a magic trip.I think i saw you guys at the border(black 660z).Glad you all back safely.
Wow all this planing,i'm starting to get worried.All i know is i'm leaving tomorrow with 2 mates and thats as far as the planning got.See you all up there.Have a safe ride everyone.Just one silly question.Do you have to organize your cell on international roaming if you want to use it in Namibia?
Funny i used to feel exactly the same as you.Until i had a 690 that is.I also owned the same bikes as you(except had the 950 not 990).At the end of the day you still want something that is even semi reliable.
I also think the power is a bit over rated.The dyno figures between my 690 and 660z are...
This won't be news to anyone but the 690 is an ENDURO and that is what it will be best at.I've been down this road and all i can say is think carefully about the route you are going.Don't be blinded by the Dakar bling image.Sit down with a piece of paper and count the cost of the bike and all...
What dates are you going up?Riding from Cape Town.Will also be there with a group of guys from Cape Town, leaving easter weekend.Might spot you on the road.
