:thumleft: :sip: what a great report. Everything to the T. Jou juffrou so baie trots gewees het op sulke fyn detail. Ek kan sommer nou pak en daai selfde trip gaan doen. Sit al die laaste 9 maande hier in Ghana en verlang my vrek na sulke trips. Jou report was nou net vandag die best medisyne. BAIE dankie...orr die luggage......ek dink ons pak altyd te veel goed...

Thank you so much for the feedback! hahah the juffrous in the pictures were my sister and mom but I am introducing my girlfriend to adventure riding as soon as I get my bike back from its overhaul  :thumleft: Jammer my Afrikaans is baie sleg! Yeah I think there is a tendency to get carried away with packing. I wouldn't take the heavy duty tubes again and I think I'm going to look at getting a bigger tank next year as the jerry definitely was too much and the reason my pannier brackets broke! I managed to fix temporarily fix the breaks using a  long bolt and some metal hose clamps (ALWAYS TAKE THESE WITH, THEY ARE A LIFE SAVER!)
