You tell us it's not only for fun, this trip. You say it is interesting to do the trip by bike. I'm sure you're right there.
My best wishes on your fundraising.

Hi Cami;
I don't need another bike because I have three bikes:
1. BMW R1200 GS Adventure, 2007: Every day, long trips, Offroad,.. all
2. Husqvarna TE410E, 2001: To practice Enduro.
3. Vespa TX 200, 1998: For sale.
Well, it's easy to understand it. Just only need to read my presentation without so much distrust. Maybe my english is not 100% correct, but I'll try to explain better:
I want to know Africa and write a jornal trip focusing on contrast the African style and the Western style. (

There are a lot of charities organizations in Africa. Many of them show the hypocrisy of the world we live in. I have good feelings with Riders For Health and trust them initially. I was invited to see their work. This is a part of Africa, charities, and I want to know also this part.
The idea of this project is to get money from those who have money. It's important to get cooperation of the brands because it's a way to accept some responsibility for what happens in Africa (we are all responsible), and in a world where economic power seems to play the biggest role. The motorbike will be for Riders For Health and all funds from the rest of the sponsors too. I will not get the bike free (it would be great!), but in exchange for advertising on the internet media. This is my work.
I have on pre-selling the trip journal (ebook). People how buy now the ebook collaborate with the project. This money will be used to help me get to Cape Town with the motorbike. People is free to do it. Could it be otherwise? (

I'm a sporsor of my project, developing the website and promoting it through internet. Also searching sponsors to get the most money. (

I've always wanted to visit Africa, and there are different ways to do it. I have decided on this way because I want to provide help, and I think this is a good way to start. It is certainly not sufficient.
I hope now everything is clearer. But, if it is not clear yet, I'll try again to explain better, It's part of the project.
Thanks for your comment, Caminando!
