Sadly not - project I am on just peaks at that time - so "leave" is a swear word.

Thanks for the EXCELLENT RR - being an old Umtali boy, it sure brought back memories. I did a ride around Zim back in 1985 on a GSX750 - not off road, except for the route from Milibezi to Vic Falls.

Keep the RR rolling, your almost in my home town............! Thanks for the RR, takes me back  O0

Top Shelf stuff guys. Good reading, excellent photo's and such a spirit of ADVenture. How do you rate the local beer in Zambia?

Hi Guys, Just found this thread, and boy did it bring back memories. I was in Groetfontein 86 to 88, and we had a shed full of brand new XR500's, used to take them for "onderhouds route" or maintenance rides - just an excuse to get them out, and take them for a blast. They all had a 5 ltr...

Well done guys, an excellent RR. Long ride the little bikes  :ricky:

Two shades, dark and light.

Nothing wrong with my "woody" after a fast ride on the DRZ  :ricky:

Welcome, these guys on this forum have been an excellent source of info for my African trip next year. If in Perth, drop me a line. Cheers Gobby  :ricky:

Thanks all, so if I was to get my visa before the border post, where can you get them, and how long does it take to get one?  ???

So will a TW200 make it with a novice rider?

Hi WD's, with an Ozzy passport, what is the procedure to get a visa (multiple entry) for Mozambique, can I get it at the border, and does going through Swaziland make it any easier? And then have any of you guys (or gals) done the trip from Chimoio to Tete recently, if so how was the road and...

Once again a reminder to all - ATGATT. I insist on it, and from your RR can see the need. Hope all goes well, and many more rides to come  :ricky:

Excellent reading stuff, well done! Very keen to chat about southern Africa in 2009, but seeing I will have the missus with on her DRZ250, we might not be up to the speed of the rest, but would still be good to meet for a beer somewhere.  :ricky:

Hey Sidetrack, what is the chain and sprocket life on the DRZ400? Mine is still brand new, so no idea? \Cheers, Gobby :ricky:

Thanks guys, so just to confirm that I will not do any damage to the bikes seeing they come from sea level and like mentioned, they will only be passing through at altitude, and then back down to sea level. I just would not like to loose too much power or have the bikes running way to heavy on...

While on the subject of rejetting, I have a Suzuki DRZ400e and the wife has a DRZ250, and we plan a trip around southern Africa. Now the bikes have been jetted for sea level (Perth Auastralia), so any advice on what needs to be done, seeing we will be going from the east coast (Durban) through...

Hi All, Thanks for the warm welcome  :biggrin: Dave will give you a call, currently up north FIFO, thanks. Mark, will pick your brain further on Bots. Has anyone any first hand knowledge on shipping bikes from Oz? I found one company called Ship My Bike, and their rate looked feasible, just...

Hey Journey man, Thanks for that. Will be looking at min 8 weeks, maybe 10 tops. The idea is to ship bikes to Durb's, then do the Swaziland, Moz trip, chill in Moz for a while, then onto Malawi, and do some riding along the lake, then swing west into Zambia, and take a slow ride to Vic Falls...

Hi guys, Gobby here, just joined up. Will be picking some brains soon about a trip around southern Africa with me on a DRZ400 and either the son or the wife (or both) on DRZ250's, sometime in oh-nine or twenty-ten. :pot: So if anyone has done any research, please share. Okay, got to get...
