I dont know what to say really, its possible that things have changed in the last 4 months, but i dont think so..
Ive spent a lot of time considering alternatives for this route, From what i hear West Africa is a whole different trip that requires more money and planning than i could come up with at the time. Ask around, but i dont think its really realistic... this said by someone without any experience of that side of the world so ask around.
I think you can ship from Asmara (Eritrea) to Mid East or Europe. Cant help with costs though, try emailing Safmarine, i found them helpful and knowledgable. Another option is thisP: ride to Sudan or whereever you really want to see and then come back to Kenya from where you can fly the bike to SA or Europe really cheap with "Flower Wings" a company that flies Kenyas flower crops all over the world... A lot of riding, but couild be worth trying. Searck web for contact details.
Hope thats helping you mate!
Jim
