Hello everyone
I am planning to have an adventure I intend to ride from South Africa to UK two up on a R1200GS
I have never done this type of trip before and would like to attempt it before I get too old
I have a few ideas but no real information and I wondered if rather than invent the wheel I could ask you all
First I thought I need a safe route for two middle aged travellers to follow preferably a route that has plenty of fellow travellers on it
Border crossings, I am aware that bribes seem to operate but is there a way of safely getting through the crossings, what papers are needed to get by?
Insurance for bike and passangers?
GPS I have a tom tom rider would this work?
Places to sleep, is it safe to camp if so where, is there a list of rooms or hotels people have used
Money, what is the best way of accessing it and what is best to carry
Spares for bike?
Budget for trip, I am on a pension so this is important
I know this is a long list however I have to start somewhere
