Bud I can sympathise. Having been through europe, asia, australia and southern/eastern africa on two wheels I'm right there on your wavelength. Where do I currently reside? England. The truth is that for a bit of a holiday or ''adventure'', going to the back of beyond is grand as long as you...

Jislaaik stoetie, daai foto van die braai tafel het my nou heel omkant homesick gemaak. Lekker RR! (Moet net byvoeg: Ek's nie meer in Mpumalanga nie maar natste engeland.)

Nice one edog! I watched  some of your vids when we were in oz last year. I'll follow it with interest as we only managed to get to the chinese border and then had to fly from tashkent to sydney.  :dousing: All the best and have a ball!

Cheers michnus! Coming from mozambique to dar broke our spirit so we're making a hasty retreat to malawi and plan to spend more time in Nam. Cheers for the info, will check out the places you mentioned.

Yo guys, We need a bit of info regarding the road going Arusha-dodoma-mbeya and into malawi. we'll be hitting it in the next week or so and if someone has up to date road conditions, we'd apreciate the info. The longer alternative I suppose is Arusha-dar-mbeya but its a massive detour. Thanks...

Yea flying seems to be the way forward. Although we saved a lot of money shipping it, the amount of hassle doesn't make it worth it. My hat goes off to the guys at MS Cargo though who were my customs clearance guys in JHB. They rang me yesterday and managed to get 1700 rand back from the...

Thanks for all the warm welcomes guys.  :thumleft: I've got a little confession though: I'm from SA  :peepwall: Although I mostly live in the UK now, it says Oz in my info 'cos thats where we were when I joined wilddogs. We've been travelling around a fair bit and I forgot to change my...

Thanks bud, Chicco drop me a pm with your details and we'll be there beer in panniers!

So you want to ride south(ern) africa on your own steed? Then please learn from us: We sent our bikes from Perth Australia to Johannesburg on a boat. The estimated time frame for such a journey was 35 days, estimated date 9 June. The bikes arrived at the docks in Durban on the 6th of June so...

I bought me and my wife's tour-x's from e-bay in the UK for 150 pounds a piece. So when my visor got scratched I chucked it not knowing how much they cost in SA. Idiot. Being a cheapskate I now ride around with MX goggles everywhere, scaring little old tannies as I go.

Jissie that looks good! Almost identical to these: https://www.andystrapz.com/products-details.php?productId=35&productCategoryId=22&Level=1 ...only a cr@p load cheaper. Nice!

cool thanks guys  :thumleft:

Hi all! We're bringing our bikes over from the UK and have always run 10w40 semi synth in both the transalp and DRZ. My question is what do you guys run here on this side of the equator? I'm doing an oil change as soon as the bikes clear customs, so must I stick with what I know or should I...

Cheers for the effort Grego! problem is that I know how to do what you described. What I want to know is how to change the digi speedo from miles per hour to Kilometres per hour. My bike is UK and so it reads the speed in Miles per hour (bloody imperialists!), But we have been riding in normal...

Ja hallo! Just a little more info for me please. Does anybody know how to change the speed from MPH to KMPH? My internet is too slow to download the above link and there's nothing about it in the manual.

Halloo everybody! Quick question: Does anybody know/had experience with getting your bike into South africa? We'll be arriving in early May with two UK bikes from Australia and I'm currently at the "getting info" stage. We'll be bringing them in with a carnet and will also have our...

Listen boet, thanks a million for this I know how much effort goes into these rr's. All being well, we're doing southern africa anti clockwise starting mid-May and after stumbling on your trip 2 days ago I could'nt stop reading. I am now well and truely fired up for this. Who know's when we end...

Thanks for the info guys, but it looks like I'll get some tyres sorted on this end before we fly over. Save a lot of last minute hassles. Very impressed by everyones helpfullness (is that a word?) Baie dankie!

So does that mean that I wont find them in South africa? It's for a Suzi drz 400 s and a Transalp 650, both rear tyres. I had a 4.??-17 Heidenau on the trannie before...

Awesome, awesome, awesome! Sounds like runner in pretoria will be the man to see. My brother lives in Centurion so could send them there. The sizes will be: 120/90-18                             120/90-17 They are popular for a very good reason. The missus's drz put 16000 miles on a rear...
