Of course I know I do not need unleaded for an 1988 bike, much better leaded, but unleaded is the only carburant instead of diesel they sell at that Total fill station. I meant: no gas at all for the bike, no essence, no benzine, no gasoline, no nothing. Just diesel all the way. Diesel and sand. Not good for filling the bing carburators with.

Happy ending. Now in Dakar. Very polluted city.

I am going to solve custom problems to keep here the bike. If I find out a solution, I will post it on the Subsaharan forum.

Hi
If you can't sort parking in Senegal, maybe try Gambia: http://www.horizonsunlimited.com/hub...t-africa-43013
Good luck

Hi, Chris. Thanks for the link. I ve seen you tried what I am trying now, doing the long trip part by part. Where is your bike now? Did you give up about riding Timbuktu?

I am going to ask about the route to Timbuktu in subsaharian forum.

Hi Miguel
I added a reply to the same question in post #12 of the above link. The bike's back in Spain and is going to Russia next year. West/Sahel Africa currently holds no further interest for me.

Hope you have your parking sorted.
cheers
Chris

Hi, Chris. I was in Russia last year on my way to Kazkahstan. Too much corruption and angry people. Central Asia was much better.

HEADING EAST...: WELCOME ASIA

When you are in Spain, if you stay in Madrid, send me a private msg and we can chat about Russia and some words you´d better know. I have place for long distance bikers.

Good luck.

Hi Miquel
I plan to ride the bike from La Linea to my parents' house in Germany in October. Will get in touch then.
All the best
Chris

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
