    Did a very simular route to what these guys have planned almost 10 years ago. There were just two of us on 600cc Tenere's

    Boy are they in for a great trip!

    You'll absolutely LOVE it! It's guaranteed. After day 1 there's no worries or even thought of being on "the wrong side of the raod" or any of that nonsense. And seeing you're gonna be on an organised tour you're gonna have nothing to worry about other than being wide-eyed at the stunning scenery and chucking that GS into some of the most amazing roads in the world.

    Get in!

    Cant you drag it out for a week or two after and come along to the Stella with us lot! You know it makes sense!

    I would love to do this - the Africa route - think it is one of those things that a person must to in your lifetime.. and then South America.. then.. We have the bikes - what is our excuse again?

    Wahey!!! ... My 1st post in about a month



    Did a trans-africa trip myself years ago, but went via West Africa through the Sahara. Very hard work but absolutely amazing. I spent 7 months doing it and would highly recommend. Would love to do it again, but too many commitments at the mo. The NUTS route looks like an interesting one. Reckon that'll be awesome Be very interesting to see how the the bikes compare with each other too.

    Over & out
