Thanks man.I,ve always been into Yamaha so I suppose you stick with what you feel good with.IT 175,IT200,XT250,XT500,,XT600,XT660 etc Im sure you spot a pattern apart from the odd Maico, Ossa,Montessa!

Cheers-sounds like a cool trip-Ive never been to Ireland-supposed to be very beautiful.Will keep you posted.Have a good trip

I take all the advice on board-I have read all the above books. Yes its a Z.To answer your question I have raised the money to cover all the expenses by working like a dog-teaching and building work-getting sick of it now-want to get on the road.I have met some grim responses but thats life man!The donated money goes to Save the Children in UK and Africa.I tried to make it clear on the website the difference between "donating" and "sponsoring" but I will tweak that. Thanks-comments are always helpful and welcome Cheers

Finished that-Im cleaning out Paul Daniels garage at the moment-hope to be done by nov 1

Hi-Thought you might be interested in looking at my website www.africa-bike-adventure.com as I am riding an XT.I will be leaving Kent on the 1st nov.Any bikers willing to brave the weather would be welcome to see me off to the coast.BBC and newspapers will be there so any support would be great
