A true epic and a fantastic voyage. Well done. A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. Herm Albright (1876 - 1944)

This is one of my favourite bike sites just to read and check out the photos of what they are up to. This is one thing about living in SA you can go just up the road and be in a total wild untamed environment, quite dangerous as well. The invisible One
