    Air freight

    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...

    What GPS to get

    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?

    What GPS to get

    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...

    Honda CRF 250l price

    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.

    Honda CRF 250l price

    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...

    Air freight

    I am looking for information on flying 2 bikes back from Cairo to SA in the not too distant future. Flying – because the bikes need to get back to SA in a specific time frame, and from what I understand, while shipping seems like the cheaper option in many cases the time-frame is unreliable...
