BMW R1200GS Adventure
Hi guys, I am new on forum. I have some riding experience but nothing in Africa. I am a pastor and have been asked to preach at various churches in Lubumbashi(DRC) and Zimbabwe. The initial plan was to go with the Pajero with a team of 4 in July 2013 but something they cannot make it anymore.
Now I am thinking this to be the ideal excuse to put my BMW1200GSA through its passes on a solo trip. What do you guys think? Is a solo possible for a newby? I would also like to travel as cheap as possible(tent). Any comments/ideas/suggestions would greatly be appreciated.
