Gday, What is the bets bash plate for the 800 Adventure? IS the BMW one any good? Any other recommended protection for the bike? Thanks heaps

Yeah, true mate. :crybaby2:

Hey Heimer, I am from Oz. My little fried is just under 1.5 kgs and rides in my jacket and loves it. Easiest dog in the world to look after and care for. Most people love her cause she is cute. I think you are probably right though. I was just wondering how tricky it is to move around either...

Does anyone know what the story is with gravelling throughout the African continent with a dog. I have my best mate a small Chihuahua that rides with me. I can get her to South Africa from Oz no problem at all. It is travelling around the rest of Africa that I have no idea about. Once again...

Thanks everyone for your advice it is much appreciated. Anyway thanks guys for the feedback. I am still none the wiser so I suppose this means that they are both great bikes ad that either one will be super.  Does anyone else wish that the weights of these bikes were 30 to 35 kgs lighter. I...

I was wondering if you guys would give me your ideas on the difference between the 800 Adventure an the 1200 Adventure (2014). There is a bit of weight difference, not that much considering the weight class of the bikes and also some of the difference is extra fuel in the 1200. I am trying to...

@hornet, Thanks for that mate.  Nice spot Ballina, hey. I priced a pair of Alpinestar tech 10s in a couple of places in SA and I got a cheaper price here. In Australia you can get a better price when you are in the shop and ask for a better price or haggle. I assume its the same in SA. I...

Jan - Feb is the plan and I  have made arrangements for my home so I had best be off by then.

Hey @scooter, I am not really making the travel plans yet. I as going to wait till I get there, get my bike ask around and do several many trips. I have set aside a few years for this RTW jaunt. I am  planning on spending quite a few months in SA. I really want to get my bike and kit sorted...

@ Barrie and @Ianb, Thank to you and everyone else that has said hi and given me some advice. I am blown away by the generosity of the riding fraternity. It is this sort of kindness that gives me the confidence to do the round the world. I am also doubly pleased to have chosen SA as my...

Thanks bud, Thanks for the advice and I'll definitely want to join you guys on a few rides.

Ello, I am from Australia and am taking a round the world motorcycle adventure. I have set aside a few years to complete this. I starting by buying a new F 800 GSA in South Africa. I am not an off road rider or expert camper. I will be going off road as much as possible throughout my...
