True test of Yamaha 1VJ's long trip ability
 

Well guys, me and the Tenere have started our journey - the REAL journey, London to Cape Town, not the 3,000 miles up and down the M6!

[Picture: Waiting for ferry departure, so went exploring on dirt tracks near camp site - Hence no load! I wish I travelled this light!]

My one peli case is full of spares and tools. And my Clymer manual.

I will update my web pages as I go along (on those days that I don't find myself next to the camp fire, spanners in hand, fixing things!).

If we make it - I think you can safely say that it MUST be the toughest bike out there.

Cos, if the Sahara, or the Congo, or the Namib doesn't kill it - and far more hazardous: If it can survive me and my mechanics, then it deserves that honour!

Good Luck
