Good read well done looks like you had a great time was thinking about doing something similar this year.
Cape Town To Shanghai
Rupert & Fanny's Big Bike Trip starts June. With names like ours what could go wrong? We start from my home from Arniston near Cape Agulhas, Western Cape South Africa and ride via Abbots Bromley in Staffordshire, UK (as you do) to our other home in Shanghai. If you think carnes and visas are a pain, wait til you travel with a Chinese woman who needs a visa for just about every place on the planet. Luckily she is used to completely ridiculous bureaucracy and how to get around it!! We are riding KTM 990 Adventures... I don't care what the LWD guys think.. they ride on anything and we had to buy ours. As Fanny is a former Chinese volleyball star her feet touch the ground and also as she is more famous and better looking than Ewan McGregor in these parts we have a local following on Chinese motorcycle forums that numbers in the six figures. Big Bikes are banned in China and so when we ride across the border we'll be winging it and hoping one of the border guards is a follower. We start when the first whale is sighted outside my house, which would be unusual in downtown Shanghai, but not on the most southern tip of Africa. Please follow us on www.bigbiketrip.net and we'll be following you on ABR
