    To the Lungs of the Earth

    To Mr and Mrs NiteOwl, what an epic trip and stunning ride report. I always have such admiration for anyone travelling into the less obvious parts of Africa. It takes massive kahunas. Respect!

    Christmas Safari

    What a stunning RR.  I'm always in such awe of riders who attempt solo trips, especially those, such as this one, that venture far off the beaten track. Well written, entertaining.  So glad it happened to pop up again as I missed it initially.

    Can answer two of your questions - Petrol is available in Letlhakane, there is also a Spar and a bottle store.  Wood can be bought at Kubu Island, we borrowed a wheel barrow to take it back to the camp site. Cheers, D

    Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Malawi & Mozambique - Any advice would be appreciate

    You're doing almost the exact route that bmad et al did in May 2010 - read this ride report. https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=49760.0 There is pretty much nothing happening at Monkey Bay, Cape McClear is the place to be and more specifically Fat Monkeys.

    KLR Electrical Problem

    I'm going to spend the weekend looking into this.  I am a little sceptical that I will be able to find something that has escaped people far more technically aware than me.  But I have nothing to lose.

    KLR Electrical Problem

    Adding a few farkles

    Hi Ian, Fascinated by the fork clamp, I've never heard of it being mentioned of a KLR must-do.  What did they cost? I've done the front springs and maybe this is something I need to look into. Cheers, Donald

    Strange noise at 3000 revs

    The doohickey was done about 2 years ago but I have never checked the tension. Doc, you did tell me how to do it but I have forgotten.  Could you please give me the steps to be followed again? Thanks.
