i might be the exact type of person you would like riding with. bought an xr600 a few months ago in peru and have ridden all dirt (nearly) to mendoza. infact, i have yet to see another bike on the backroads and the xr is absolutely filthy and rigged with some JB weld. the ski pants i am wearing have the ass ripped clean out of them and the lowe packpack on the back rack is wearing apart and i love it. most nights are spent sleeping on the raid. im young (27) and dont have the $ for a GS1150 in africa, but can pull off something. i still have another 7months or so of completely flexible adventure. let me know what your plans end up being.
