New member - Riding UK to Cape Town by chinese C90
Hi all, I am new on here but not to other forums under an alias.
I've heard this forum is a goldmine of information so have signed up and will be sure to pick your brains along my trip to Cape Town, I'm sure!
I do have a blog set up, noodleadventure.blogspot.co.uk - However, if the mods deem this as spam, please remove!
We are currently in Barcelona and depart for Tangier tomorrow.
Wish us both luck...!

Been reading this guy's thread here on HU. In fact, like many others and you, he starts out in the UK. His plan is to carry his surfboard and surf throughout the continent. However, he is on a 650 enduro, but while in Cape Town, his friend joins him and buys a cheap Chinese enduro and they end up riding 6000 miles together--the Chinese bike's only issue and turned into its achilles heel is the stock chain kept stretching until he could not adjust it anymore--it kept falling off. Not so much the chain or bike's fault, but the fact that they couldn't, for the life of them, find a new replacement chain! This part of the story starts on page 6 and ends on 7.

So, as a word of advice--take a spare chain with you!
What brand of bike is it? photos?

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.
