Africa Twin Back to Dakar: the On/Off Road Journey
 

Hey there guys!

Being a "Dakar Junkie" since... well, since ever (as well as most of you i'm sure) there has been always the will to make some kind of trip to the Lac Rose, to know what would be that amazing feeling to get there.

So a couple of years ago, as part of an organized trip (some bikes and a lot of 4x4's), i got to take my beloved Africa Twin from Portugal to Dakar, through Morocco, Mauritania, Gambia, Guinea-Bissau and Senegal.

So these are the 15 intense days summarized to about 7 minutes: daily fragments of moments and feelings, that's how you sum up at a glance 5960 kms of adventures, difficulties, heat, tumbles, companionship, cold, tears, smiles, and all the best Africa has to offer.




I leave you with a few pictures from the trip. For those who will enjoy them and want to read more about the trip (and can also understand portuguese!) the book about the whole 20 days is available on the 'Books Page - Motorcycle Travel Stories' section here at Horizons Unlimited :thumbup1:
