    Returning to Africa Twin

    Hi Everyone,
    i had an Africa twin a few years ago and changed around a few different models since but i was drawn back to buy another twin for its looks, performance, ease of servicing and parts. After my first run out i realise what i was missing. I wont be making the same mistake again

    Hello and welcome to the forum,
    There are many imitations but none as good as the @.
    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    Sounds like a sweet bike you have! Mossy 'n the others have absolute minters compared to my tatty yoke Hope to organise a weekend sometime soon, I think in fact there may be a bit of a trailbike meetup in Clare next weekend.
