Must say, I'm not enjoying this season half as much as I did the SA one. I'm now about 10-15 episodes behind & honestly, I'm not that fussed. I guess I just don't like South & Central America.

I have seen guys get on a cruiser type bike and try & ride it like it was an adventure bike or a superbike or whatever they're used to and then complain that it doesn't go or stop or corner & therefore all cruisers are pieces of shit. I've found you need to approach riding a cruiser with a...

Out of all the bikes on your list, I'd choose the Suzuki VL1500. Over the years a few friends have had those & all have been happy. That said, as Bliknêrs has pointed out, if you 'get' the whole cruiser thing, you'll eventually want a Harley. And not a Sportster, a proper big twin.

I think the world has discovered us. Yet another Youtube channel on riding in Africa This lot are starting in CT & going north back to Europe. Sort of a reverse Long Way Down but on sensible bikes. https://youtu.be/jFz0FMrTX1k

They're called Double take mirrors & you can buy them off eBay or from their website. The nice thing is that they're modular so you can just buy the mirror head / glass bit online & source the mount & RAM arm locally, thus saving a few ronts.

This should be good. I like this guy's style & I've been following him for a while. https://youtu.be/T3b_H20Noi4 (Still no idea how to embed a vid , sorry)

Lemon Pledge works for me. You have to reapply it frequently at first.

I fancy that new RevIt kit. Seems they finally got the right idea. Strap the armour on & then add as many appropriate warm/cold/rain layers as you need.

The first time she tried it she got as far up as Peru and then COVID happened. She ended up leaving her bike there & flying home. The bike eventually got back to the Netherlands but it was in a very sad state.

I don't know how to embed this but she's just done an interview with the Revzilla guys. It makes for interesting viewing : https://youtu.be/pnCM-e3wAzQ

About 9500km so far. Still Nov & Dec to rack up some more...

Yes, I also think she will stay with Honda...

I agree, I think the bug has bitten her quite hard.

That rally machinery is just magnificent.

Faf de Klerk ??

Some of the comments are hilarious. How do they know the dogs are wild ? Are they not just strays ? 🤦‍♂️

She crossed into Zim in today's episode & spent the afternoon at Vic falls. If she's now back in SA doing the Kalahari Rally the episodes are obviously a bit behind.

I've got a light weight mesh jacket with armour & back protector  over a t shirt. Long sleeve t shirt if it's cooler. 2x long sleeved t shirts if its much cooler. I also have an inner of another jacket I can wear if it's very cold. If it is rainy I have a rain suit over the top or as a last...

Well, I was wrong. She crossed into Botswana in today's episode.
