Hiya guys and gals...

I'm the proud owner of a 3.5 tonne ex-army ambulance - the Landrover Fc101. Pictures available at http://photos.yahoo.com/wotney
(click on the folder marked 101)
Anyway, my girlfriend and I are planning to take it overland to India and beyond.
Primarily, I'm a biker so doing without my beloved (the bike!) for a year plus just doesn't appeal to me. I've only ever owned/ridden road bikes though.
So my question is... bearing in mind I have to scratch build a swing-gate type mounting post to my truck I need a light, reliable toy that will still go fast enough to give an amatuer off-road rider some thrills.
Any suggestions would be appreciated !

Thanks,
Scotty

Go for a 175 - 200cc Japanese 2-stroke trail bike. There are lots around, inexpensive, very light, reliable like a stone, and you can even get parts in the third world for them, and you will have less problems/costs with a carnet.

And yes they are fast enough to scare you silly in the right conditions...

Not good on the highway, but that's not what you need. Perfect for running into town to pick up some groceries though.

Excellent ! - thanks Grant...

Any suggestions on model/make ?
The crosser market is totally new to me.

The Yamaha DT 125 / 185, single sylinder, 2-stroke is well known in many countries. It should do the job well.
