I'm planning a my return to Cape Twon after 6 long years in the UK.
Firstly I must point out that I want to do this trip on my KTM 640, so idealy I would like to hook up with someone with the same type of bike.
Secondly I want to complete the trip in 8-10 weeks, so if your idea is take a slow ride sight seeing through Africa I don't think we will match up to well.
Thirdly I would like to be a serious oponent to Charlie Borman and co, who are doing it the easy way down.
My idea would be two maybe three bikes and filming each other, sleeping tough and no back up vehicle's so a real hard core ride.
So if you have the balls I would like to hear from you.

good luck to you. I would like to do ther trip, as you warn over a longer time frame.
I hope you do get the ride done. Let me know how you get along.
The first bike ride through Africa was done by Terresa Wallac defore the war. There is a video of her cine film.
