opps, i think its time for a new chain

After some ordeals & serious convincing, I managed to get out of Botswana and back into Namibia legally! Pheww. As I ride with some relief along some nice dirt roads, I hear a mighty crunch and suddenly all i could think was that It's all over red rover as the bike wasn't going anmywhere. I gesture to Rob, something is seriously wrong and as I look down I see my chain off the sproket! errkkk. On closer inspection, nothing serious but in desparate need of a new chain. Anyway, I'm not worried as Namibia provides a great distraction - what a beautiful country, full of spectacular rolling hills, roaming wild animals by the road & traditional tribal people. It's one of my favourites.

Motorcycling the magnificent landscapes of Mexico, the USA and Canada.
'Sam Manicoms new book! is a gripping rollercoaster of a two-wheeled journey which takes you riding across some of the most stunning landscapes in the world. This enticing tale has more twists and turns than a Rocky Mountain Pass and more surprises than anyone would expect in a lifetime. There are canyons, cowboys, idyllic beaches, bears, mountains, Californian vineyards, gun-toting policemen with grudges, glaciers, exploding volcanoes, dodgy border crossings and some of the most stunning open roads that a traveller could ever wish to see.
