An amazing trip and video! Thank you for sharing :-)

I had to fight the same questions. After some stuff happen in our life our trip timeframe was getting much smaller.

We had the chose to do a transafrica in 2 months - or to stay at home, doing the trip in some years.

We did the trip, it was a wonderful experience! You did a roundtrip in the same time bier with a bike!

Time is the most valued stuff we have. I`m very jaelous for that people who are able to travel extended over years. I hope i can do it too - in the meantime i get that much i can.

I guess that we will see more and more of that short-time and long distance trips in the future. The people dont want to wait till they are retired - and sometimes there is 2 months the longest available timeframe.

Mind blowing. I'm planning the same trip leaving in about 6 weeks and I wouldn't have believed it possible to circumnavigate Africa and cross Europe twice in that time.

I'm sure that plenty told you that it could not be done. Heroic effort my friend.

Way to go Isaac, as you said maybe have been a quick trip for the distance covered but way better than staying at home and iI have three daughters and completely understand

This year I had big plans for adventure riding. My plans were dashed due to work and home remodeling. The KTM990 sits in my garage collecting dust. The only way I can enjoy the sport for now, is vicariously through people like you who get out and do it.

Thanks for posting that cool video, it keeps me sane......

hi Issac
great video. I am currently living in Mtwara in the south of Tanzania. My contract finishes here in September this year so I am just looking at riding back to the uk. Head West to Angola and then up the West Coast. As I work here as a volunteer money is tight so I may opt for a Chinese Toyo 150cc trail bike. I am sure you will have seen hunderds when you where here. Cheap and chearful but i am sure it will make it back to UK. Spares are aplenty too. Where you going next. I road up to santas grotto on a Transalp a few years ago. We were in Finland for the Britty Rally. Scandanavia is lovely. cheers Paul

Considering 99.99% of us were not born into royalty with money up are areses and unlimited time to kill, I believe your trip was exactly what the doctor ordered. You made it happen in 77 days. A trip I will never be able to take due to obligations. Hell. I'm lucky if I can get 14 days off in a row. Acquiring a good home and a retirement is not an easy task. It takes most of us years to make happen. 2 years around Africa would set my plans back 10 years or more. So, I re-state: Your trip was perfect for you, me and 99% of the rest of the world. Go for it:clap:
