Thanks for posting this Matt, this is one hell of an adventure, kudos to these guys. I figured I'd read the first few pages only, and I couldn't stop until I got to the end. It is pretty riveting. In my younger days
, I rode a Honda Africa Twin, and that was all that I could handle. That KTM is a beast, and I wouldn't wan to be on it through that.
Africa is an amazing continent, I had the chance to spent quite a bit of time in Ivory Coast and Senegal and it is just breathtaking. Two of my uncles raced the Paris-to-Dakar Rallye several times, and while in their mid to late 20's my parents joined 4 other couples for a motorcycle adventure through Mexico and Central America. I always dreamt of doing such a trek, unfortunately I am bit short on funds and time off
