Hi all, The penny has eventually dropped - I'll not be going to Mongolia or Morocco on my new Africa Twin or having 40,000 mile RTW experience :( But, do you really need to ride so far to have your own little adventure? :D Have a laugh at my latest silly video.....

Great write up in mcn about a 14 year RTW ride on an Africa Twin:cheers:

Hi all, Drove to Turkey from the UK in my 15 year old Ford Fiesta last summer and bumped into various overlanders. After following there adventures riding over to Aus on Africa Twins and KTM's I believe it is time to get back in the saddle. Haven't rode for about 15 years now, I was a...

Hey guys, as you may know I am in Nepal at the moment with the Transalp. Well someone is coming to visit me in a couple of months and I realised it was a great opportunity to get some parts which the bike desperately needs! To start with I am getting brake seals and braided brake lines. Now I...

One of things I like to do on a wet winter's evening is read books by RTW travellers (gives me itchy feet, but there you go :lol: ), and I've got a few now, but none with people on Hondas - anybody read any Honda round the world travel books?

Hi Folks, I have a confession to make, I am a Blogger... (I know; I know... You've admitted one of us into your ranks... Sorry, but FWIW I have tried to quit numerous times, I've had version therapy; I've tried tying metal rivets to my privates; I even tried just using computers for...

Had an unfortunate incident with a Ford KA on the A13 this morning where the women tried to sideswipe me. I managed to keep things sunny side up but the crash bars didn't take too kindly to this invasion of their territory and left it's mark clearly on a couple of panels. No damage to the bike...
