    My New Africa Twin

    hello it's FEE up in canada, as you may remember a few years ago i put in a wanted ad . i was hoping that someone here would be willing to sell me their AT and help with the shipping part to canada. no one was interested ,but i have finally got one. an englishman from PLYMOUTH named ROLY flew his AT TO BUENOS AIRES , spent 3 months touring south and central america and ended up in SAN FRANCISCO ,USA. he did not want to ship the bike home so it was advertized here as well as on advrider.com . after many emails he agreed to help me ship the bike close to me where i could go pick it up .money was exchanges and the bike is now here . i took a little trip with a friend who rode one of my other hondas here are some pics. i was lucky to get the bags ,which he did not want to leave behind and now i know why. they are METAL MULE panniers

    Hey FEE

    Welcome back!

    You did well there Sir, very nice bike, and well kitted.

    All that's left for me to say is, get out there and enjoy it!

    They must be quite rare in your neck of the woods, so enjoy grinning as envious people stare at your new bike.

    thanks for the kind words , i love the AT. it was in the kind of shape that i expected but the tank had a big dent. i have already spent some money on it ,although you can not tell because i haven't changed the parts over yet.

    a used tank from austria

    complete RICKY CROSS crashbars with the upper protection and headlight guard.

    2 dash covers ,one from germany ,one from portugal

    bagster tank cover

    and i just got a large invoice from TOURATECH, new handguars ,solo seat, gear shifter,etc.
    looks like i'll be busy for a day putting all the kit on

    i love the bike but also found a SUPER TENERE that i would like to have. too many bikes not enough money
