    Police Clearance and Data Dot

    Hi everyone, I’m sort of on the same mission, trying to export my SA bike from Namibia to Europe. Does anyone have any experience on that? I’ve got police clearance and export permit done in SA, but now I’ve been told that I might be asked for a deregistration from the SA traffic Department...

    Proof of my motorcycle’s worth for Insurance purposes

    Hello everyone. I’m trying to ship my Honda XRV750 AFRICA TWIN 2003 from Namibia to Germany. Apparently one of the requisites for customs purposes is demonstrating the value of the bike. I tried the Kelly Blue Book but doesn’t have any information about the Africa Twin. I also tried asking for...

    Registering a SA bike in Namibia

    Hello everyone! After being stuck in Namibia for almost 4 months, finally it seems like there’s some light at the end of the road and I might be able to get a flight to Europe. I posted my motorcycle in some groups and apparently there’s some people interested, but most of them ask what is the...

    South Africa to Europe via West Coast - Feb 2020

    I had intentions of getting deeper into Zambia, but taking into account the weather and that every km was going to take me further away from the west coast, I decided to head back to Botswana, and later on Namibia. People say Friday 13 usually means bad luck, but even if it rained for most of...

    South Africa to Europe via West Coast - Feb 2020

    Hello again! Finally in Livingstone I decided to take a few days off and make a proper visit to both sides of the falls. Due to Zambia's rainy season, they were flowing at it's best, so it was quite a spectacle! Not a big Simpson's fan, but lots of people told me that David Livingstone's statue...

    South Africa to Europe via West Coast - Feb 2020

    The elephant corridor did not disappoint and we bumped into a big one having breakfast who certainly did not like the exhaust noises and quickly showed us who’s the boss, forcing us to keep the distance. Kazungula border was challenging. To start with, they took 1 Pula = 1 Kwacha so we were...

    South Africa to Europe via West Coast - Feb 2020

    My stop in Pretoria turned also better than expected. Not only I got new brake pads and new Haidenau K60 tyres, but also managed to get my DRC and Republic of Congo visas in only 24 hs each (not that easy with a German Passport and none SA residence permit or whatsoever). This was a huge relief...

    South Africa to Europe via West Coast - Feb 2020

    Hello again Wild Dogs! I’ve been reading some riding reports lately and wanted to share a bit of my experiences, hoping some of you might find it helpful. After a failed attempt to make it into Lesotho through Sani Pass (fully loaded, my rear brake pad wore off, the road was mostly loose rocks...

    South Africa to Europe via West Coast - Feb 2020

    Hello everyone! After a compulsory stop at Cape Agulhas I spent my first night camping in Swellendam. Yesterday did a long stretch through the Garden Route with a few stops along the way and finally onto Jeffrey’s Bay, where hopefully I’ll be able to catch some waves. Tomorrow might drive to...

    Hello everyone again! First of all, I’d like to thank you very much for all the post and messages I’ve received in the last days! I look forward to meeting some wild dogs along the way, and already more than grateful for everyone who has offered me accommodation (even if it’s just a small space...

    Riding to Cape Town!

    Hello Ben, your trip sounds amazing (specially celebrating your birthday with the wildhogs, and still can’t believe you brought a chicken with you 😂). I’m leaving Cape Town hopefully this week, but if for some reason I get delayed, I’d love to join and hear more about your adventures. I’m doing...

    South Africa to Europe via West Coast - Feb 2020

    Hello eveyone, thank you very much for making me a part of this group! My name is Nicolas, 29, originally from Argentina but also lucky to have a German Passport. Almost 4 years ago I left home searching for adventure and moved to Sydney to save some money to travel. One of the pros of living...
