You be better getting someone with a 4 wheel drive to follow you

Don't let these guys put you off. Your bike's probably not the ideal choice but the fact is the trip can be done on virtually ANY bike - given enough time and determination. Good luck mate (from a fellow traveller who has actually been there and done that!)

I am in Tanzania!!!!!!
I have been in Greece, Turkey, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, SUDAN, Ethiopia, Kenya...

I want to travel from Egypt to Tunis through Libya, but I have heard you have to apply for an invitation in groups of 4, I'm looking for three othrs and we don't have to travel at the same time, are you interested? If you have heard anything different about this let me know.

Well Done!!!
This just proves if you have the balls you can do it on any bike!
Carry on riding

How many KM's has your bike done?

chiacchio 24 Jul 2003 23:07

From Italy to Cape Town...and From Cape Town to Lusaka...about 27000 km's. When I started the bike had 50000 km's
