Here’s a little something I wrote to help people pack. Not sure if it’s relevant if you’re going with a tour group but hopefully some will apply. As we sit here and rethink what we’ve packed a year and a half later, it’s still seems to be constantly on our minds to reduce once again! We keep...

We have two XR600R’s and yes they can tell some stories now! Subscribe to follow our journey through Africa https://youtube.com/c/2kickaround

Thank you for the comment Airguitar! Absolutely and sorry for the late reply. Have a fantastic journey. Cheers!

Thanks for the comments Chicco! You’re absolutely right next time we will definitely use a self inflating air mattress. We went with ‘fancy’ air mattresses for this trip and ended up paying the price. We found a different jet for our camp stove and now can we burn petrol, which is fantastic no...

Thanks for your support. We appreciate you watching!

Thanks for the comment. I would say we’ve been going fairly slow as we’re over a year into our African adventure. We try not to plan too far ahead on our route, because so many things can change so quickly on this continent. The mission is to get to know the people and cultures of the various...

Hi Grunder yes, the diesel solution works great thanks for the tip!

Thanks for following! Good idea.. now that we’ve traveled a bit further I’ll see if we can come up with some other things we’ve learned soon.

Great thanks for asking Grunder. Check out our latest video in Rwanda and subscribe if you want to follow along on YouTube @2kickaround. Cheers! Here’s a link:

Thanks Boersoeknbike!

We appreciate the feedback mikehood! Unfortunately we didn't get our audio dialled with the go pro before we left home and now we're struggling to find a way to capture our conversation but with no luck so far. We have Sena headsets which are great but older versions that don't allow us to...

Think we had a bad batch, Mr D. We already reached out to Klymit and they have sent us new mattresses... unfortunately they wouldn't send them to Africa only back to our home in the States. Cheers!

We've been on pot holed roads so bad we wish they were dirt. Cheers Malcom!

If the carburetor is jetted properly and you know the "procedure" it's a one kick bike.

Thank you 73 Peanut! We still have a long way to go so we hope our videos see improving as we go along. Cheers and thanks for following!

Haha yeah 0012 we were going to edit that out but then we want to make this realistic. It's confusing when you're going through so many different countries with different languages etc. Borders are confusing especially the "One Stop" borders since you think your talking to a guy from one...

Thanks for the kind words! We had a rough start to our African adventure but you definitely helped us to make it all that we had hoped for. We finally adjusted the valves on Sal's bike after sorting out the rich issue and they were a little loose. We need to adjust the valves on my bike. Do you...

Thanks Donald, this is a great form! The bicycle pump is working but we might investigate the CO2 bombs in the future.

We are far from professionals so we're trying to keep it as unedited and realistic as possible. I swear I jinxed us when I said I've only had a couple of flat tires in my life on motorbikes before we started this trip lol. We've had great luck with shinko tires and had them on a number of...

Thanks Grunder! We're trying to improve as we go along.
