    Hey Leon! Thanks for the photo!  We just jumped on here to see what was happening in Wild Dogs land and was great to see a message.  Thanks for helping with the bags. All good here, currently in Nairobi sorting visas.  Next up will the Lake Turkana route to Ethiopia. Cheers.

    safari feul tank?!?!?

    I've used the Safari Tank for years and its a quality bit of kit, although granted it is expensive.  Probably 70 or 80% of DR650's in Aus have the safari tank fitted - everyone who uses the DR for adv riding at home uses it as its the only tank which gives enough range for heading out into the...

    Hey Buttslider - we are in Maun, Botswana.  We ended up staying our entire visa of 90 days in SA/Lesotho and had to make a run for the border.  Unfortunately the day we were going to leave for the last couple day run to the border, I dropped the oil to service the bikes and it went "clunk"...

    also, there is a little white fuel filter that sits in the inlet barb, pull that out and check it. If the sieve starts to block it will reduce flow and exacerbate the problem Good luck.

    Will be a couple days until we can upload some more. We are currently on the road and will be for a bit yet. Had some awesome riding yesterday.
