Bikes are back!



Bikes are back...Weird to think that the last time we saw the one was in Rwanda and one was in Mombasa. Plenty of red dust to testify to their incredible journey. Respect to Humphrey and Unique Forwarding for getting them home just about in one piece. Carnets were not included but now have been recovered and sent to RAC to retrieve our massive deposits. Dakar I is fixed (timing chain as suspected!) and running sweet as a nut, renovation city! Ready to sell or keep and enjoy, not decided yet. Dakar II is with Paul and ready for sale and looking good!


Want to go back, want to do more of this. Expensive...very expensive! Will post pics of Dakar I in full renovation glory shortly! PS Dakar I started first time but the engine noise was not pretty! Dakar II started first time after a little battery charging.
