    The journey has begun. Uk to Australia on my dragonfly!!!

    Hey sweet lovers of the Africa Twin,

    So this be the adventure that every one of these bikes should and could go on. Im riding all the way from the Uk to Australia. I am putting a blog up so the link is below if you wish to see what your bike is actually capable of. I just wanted to thank everyone on the site who has helped me out so far and especially everyone at the winter maintenance weekend in the warehouse in london and to Wheelie who helped me out at a later date. Your all greAT!!!

    My AT has now been through a metamorphosis and has become a flying machine, its now the adventures of me (Mr Marty) and the dragonfly.

    Any advice from anyone who has done a crazy mission like this is more than welcome to share some wise words.
    And amazing places to visit also on route.

    So check it out happy peoples ;D

    cool man , just checked out the blog , noticed your route goes through slovenia , we ahve some new members on here from their so maybe a cheap nights digs.

    you got check out the area around Lake bled and the old mountain passes-what the xrv was made for, the capital Ljublinja is excellent and friendly and those caves are huge man , while Piran on the Adriatic coast is well just heaven .

    good trip "live the dream" lifes not for rehearsing its for living
