Quads better than bikes for traveling???
Three years ago I did an around the world trip on the industry standard BMW 1150GS, I loved it for North America, Europe, and Turkey but when I reached Africa I hated it. I was so limited on the terrain we could ride, if there was mud it would take a week to pass, if there was sand we would fall all the time. I missed so much scenery because I was focussing on the road.
So when we decided to do Africa again my wife came up with the idea of Quadbikes. It was the best idea ever, all of sudden we could travel the worst roads in Africa, we could ride up the dunes in Algeria, river crossings no problem, and I spent more time looking at the scenery than looking for potholes. Not to mention we could carry much more gear and take enough food and water to last us a week. We traveled 17 countries in 8 months and never regretted being on a quad a single time.
Quads are the best of both worlds for africa, you get the adventure of a bike but the stability of 4 wheels. But with that said I still have my BMW and I will never sell it but I will never bring it to Africa again.
So alright all you hard core motorcyclists lets hear it.
