This is the most sold bike in South Africa. I am thinking of buying one and attempting the Cape to Cairo to London route sometime. Any great modifications, add-ons, ideas about this bike? Has anybody tried this route?

Well I guess you only live once. I guess my question is covering that amount of space? Id be afraid of people trying to cap my American arse riding through.

Is it safe for you to travel those countries cause it's a long way from home man?

I live in the murder capital of the world. More than 30000 woman are officialy raped each year. More people die in South Africa every year from violent crime than America has lost in Vietnam and Iraq combined.

Do you still think it's that far or too dangerous? I don't and I am not being negative either. Most South Africans have a hard working and can do attitude and despite all the crap going on we still have a positive attitude.

That would be an awsome journey.
