Will a baby hippo do? :p

I'm keeping my fingers crossed it will be incident free. I don't fancy being airlifted back to Yorkshire.:smt089

Who did you organise the tour with? And will you be in Cape Town or that sh*thole called johannesburg?

Flying into Cape Town and setting off from there. Following the west coast to Jo'burg with a detour into Swaziland.

Will be spending one night in the 'sh*thole'. I know about it's reputation but should hopefully be ok. Will be staying in Melville, so a bit of distance from the rough and tumble.:p

Say hello t my uncle and family over there will ya? Dunno where he lives exactly, but ask around, I'm sure someone will know him :-).

Definitely will do Phil.;)

Nope. I didn't. This particular tour is completely on-road (except for the odd few miles).

You might be nervous at first hun but then once you get into it and begin to meet people you'll be fine :) You know exactly how to ride and have been on the other side of the coin too so you're prepared enough! Just relax and enjoy the new places and the freedom :D

And don't forget your CAMERA! :cool:

Sounds like an awesome trip!!!
Looking forward to those great pics!!!

If you pass through Qwa-Qwa...stop and see my friend Wim, a missionary who runs the orphanage/school there. He rides a Yamaha dirt bike.
Tell him BanannaMan sent you and they'll treat you like family. :smt045

(also be sure and mention Suzuki's are better than H*nda's) ;)
(and pay no attention to any jokes told about me) :o


Have a safe one!!!!
