Africa Twin 1000 - tyres & wheels

Bought these OEM Honda bars used for my AT thou last year, but the fitting kit was partially missing. Been hanging around ever since and now the bike is stuck overseas. PN # 08P71-MJP. Fits up to 2019. 'Missing bits' picture found on eBay. Looks like a few bolts and spacers in a bag which will be e...

Re: London to Dakar 1986

We did the track to Bordj Moktar the following year with the 101, then up to Reggane, by which time everyone was going a bit troppo. Most of Desert Travels is about that trip. (It's the area Thatcher got lost in 1982). And the year after, we carried on into Mali, Timbuktu and Mauritania. That one di...

Re: London to Dakar 1986

I still think there are plenty of real biking adventures to be had for those who want them. As some parts of the world have closed, others have opened up or become more accessible. And the machinery and gear is better than ever. Actually, the French IGN maps from the 1960s were (and still are) excel...

Re: London to Dakar 1986

... crazy German guy There's at least one on every Africa trip! Looks like an early XT500. No, an LP and a Mich map would have been your lot back then. Must have been quite an adventure.
