London to Cape Town, Sept/Oct 2012
Hi guys,
myself and a fellow biker I met at the Colombian border last year are planning to ride London to CT later this year.
I'm posting here, as, I'm on a KTM 640 Adventure R, and he's on a Harley Davidson Road King. Yup. He's not afraid of taking it off road either, he road it from California to Ushuaia. But, I don't think it's going to be brilliant for some of the pistes I'd like to have a look at. And equally, he might be fancying longer days in the saddle than me from time to time...
So, ideally, it'd be good to get two others, perhaps one on a single who'd fancy a bit of desert etc, and someone on something more road biaised.
Myself and Rob are both early/mid 30s, pretty easy going and would do the odd night camping, but hopefully find cheap accom en route. I'll probably chuck my bike in a plane to get it home, but if there's three bikes going back to the UK, maybe look into shipping.
Our route hasn't been planned yet, so we're open to suggestions...
I'm based in London, so meeting for a few drinks beforehand would be an idea at some point. Rob is based in California unfortunately. You'd prob be welcome to fly over to meet him if you wished!
Rick
