AFRICA TWIN NEEDED FOR RiDE MAGAZINE SHOOT!

[DRLANER]

Bertie,

I have a 1999 white Africa Twin, would be a nice ride up to the midlands too! Box's can be whipped off in a matter of seconds, has a few modifications as per the pictures below!

Let me know if you are interested!

Cheers.

Hee hee...
Thank you all for your comments!



Not found an owner/bike yet who can say 100% that they can make it, although one is a possible. Fingers crossed!

I know what you mean Boba about newer not always being best. Hence we're doing a used test! I expect the Africa Twin to kick some butt here - but it's nice to get the newest/cleanest we can to ensure as level a playing field as possible with the other bikes which will be newer, if still 'used'.

I know some people have said they couldn't get time off to take part, but if they would still be OK with lending the bike alone (long-shot, I know) I can show you Bauer Publishing's fully-comp insurance policy to provide peace of mind.

Should I get hold of a suitable bike for the test I can scan copies of it and send it to anyone who wants to see it. Just don't tell RiDE magazine... they'd tell me off.

Cheers!

Yes, and a very fine example it is too!

And it bears the XRV birthmark on it's rump too. Fine example

Spotted you did a write up in the nee adventure biker magazine Bertie
Great mag

Hope to see the write up in the bike mag

[Bertie Simmonds]

I'm a humble freelancer sir... so this is for another magazine. But I am continuing my work with Adventure Bike Rider. It fills a niche I think. And Alun the editor is a star man. Do search for the Forum!
