Hello all, I’m new to the forum, though have been riding all sorts of bikes over the years , I’ve only recently got into dual-sport bikes and have had my ’99 africa twin for a year now. Have just got back from riding in India for 3 months on an old Enfield. Craziest roads I’ll ever see I’m sure! – let me know if your thinking of it, have plently of advice.

Also, you may be interested in a new company I have recently joined.. It specializes in running motorcycle expeditions (also 4x4) in Southern Africa through to East Africa. Check out www.EscapeExpeditions.co.uk for more info. Trips range from 2 – 8 weeks, and will do discounts for groups larger than 4. Everything’s included in the price except flights / spending money.. no hidden extras etc.

Apologies for not being involved in this forum before posting.. I hope it appeals to some of you .. let me know your thoughts!
