TRANSAFRICA: "Milan - Cape Town" on a Harley: Mission accomplished
Hi everybody,
just back home from our journey from Milan to Cape Town on my harley davidson road king 1998.
We ran 14.770 km in 37 days, starting from Milan, to get the ferry Genua to Tunis, then crossing Lybia, Egypt, Sudan, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Botswana, Namibia and reaching South Africa.
We crossed the nightmare Moyale, Marsabit, Isiolo stretch but the Harley was strong enough. We made also other 500 km off road in Namibia.
My friend was on a BMW GS Adventure and suffered a lot either corrugations as well as sand. He dropped down once and destroyed the touratec luggage set. My Harley was definitely more off road suitable that the above.
I'm open to answer to all the questions and requests of information you may need on the trip.
Ciao
Roberto Parodi
