Hi Dave (Darbya), Lance (Maroonga), and Ikram (Zaplivewire)…….phew!
Sounds very interesting. I’m also heading to South Africa via West Africa route. Did lots of homework on the trip today (It’s raining where I am). Would love to join the group if you can fit me in. Just came up the East Africa route. Had a buddy most of the time but he’s back in South Africa now. What’s your time frame?
Me: Just a novice trying to keep the rubber end of the bike at the bottom
My bike: ’08 KLR. No carnet but worked out ok so far.
Cheers for now. Neville

Especialy the 1500 km of tarmac in Mauritania is no fun. Maybe it would be better for my to send my bike to Senegal by boat and travel around and come back by bike. What do you think?

every mile on two wheels is fun, so if you think to travel, sit on your ride and don't think about boats,only if you go across the ocean...

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
