Maybe look at buying a bike in SA. I'm hoping to leave in Sept of 06 for around six or eight months. I have a 3,000km KLR that I will probably sell after the trip. It works best for everyone if a traveller sells it to another traveller.
As for how to pay for a trip, I have to agree that working oil and gas is the way to go. I do public relations for a big oilsands company, and I'm worth quite a bit more in this industry than anywhere else.

My other problem is I have no savings and cant afford to ship my bike or even survive 2 weeks. The only good thing is i already have my KTM 620 adventure but alas not the £1000 to get it to SA. I am a qualified bike mechanic and experienced computer technician but i feel these skills will be not required in SA so no chance of "working my way around"
Any suggestions ??? I was thinking of doing a TEFL (teaching english qual) but not sure where this will get me..
