Schalk are you still planning ahead to continue through South America?
Hi Tom yes, I am just getting the money ready. Can't wait.

Hi Schalk, hope you're well.  Hey, don't forget when you get to the USA, send me a PM with 3 days lead time of where you will be and I'll send the money for the book!!  I have not forgotten I owe you!!  Or, if you find yourself near southern Michigan, dinner and beers for you!!

Hi Gary welcome to the site. They will keep you busy for years to come. The  Horizon Unlimited site is there for more intercontinental travel. Even the Zapp family that have been traveling around the world for 17 years in their 1928 model Greame Page car use this site. Glad you enjoyed my book. You are a star my friend and you paid an extra R 50-00 towards my trip as well. Watch this space for the balance of the trip. Kind regards
 
Hi Guys just an update on what's happening with the rest of my ARTW trip. It looks like I am going to translate the book in German. Then I would like to travel to Europe and start again where I left off. I will then sell the German book as well as the English version while traveling the whole of Europe. The lack of money as with so many of us was the only reason for the delay. This tread will come alive again when I am on the road again.

All best with the translation! And the rest of your journey. Looking forward to reading more about your travels  :thumleft:

Hi Schalk,

Amazing book. I followed you on wild dog, but the book is in more detail.

Have you approach any of the shipping lines for a sponsor to get you and your bike over there. You miss 100% of the chances you don't take.

Go see the HR departments.

Hi Esplin I have given up on any form of a sponsorship. I found nothing is for nothing. I got a price to send my bike to Europe just yesterday. I am also in the process to translate my book into German. I will be in Europe toward the end of April. I am also going to attend a bike get together in Belgium which has been running for 60 years. The organiser has the largest collection of motorcycle travel books in the world. I will also be selling my books there.
 
Just to report back I will be leaving for Europe plus minus the 20 th April on a standby ticket. I have to be in Belgium by 27/04/2018 for a bike get together of bikers from all around the world. I will also be selling my book there. I will also report on a continues basis on this tread of my travel there.

Alles van die beste man. Gaan hierdie draad weer aandagtig lees net soos met jou vorige trip. Sien sommer baie uit.
