Hi Austin
Bloody marvellous , can't hide anywhere !!!!
Been hankering after one for a while , the tipping point was my Africa trip. What you riding now?
Phil

It's a small world innit. PhilW is on here too - Wide. There's some other emigres around occasionally too.

I still have my Transalp - now on 110,000 miles but going well. Me and anne also have an XT660R each as our travel/trip bikes. Love 'em. Lighter than a Ten' so faster , but not quite so well equipped so also LOADS cheaper. I hired a Ten in Africa for 6 weeks and 5,000 miles. Bloody uncomfortable I thought; Anne was on a 660R and was sitting pretty and comfortable the whole trip. XT660 is the best travel bike available at the mo I reckon.

We might be shipping our bikes to USA in spring for trip New York to LA or we might do an East Europe and Turkey tour later in the year. It will be one or the other.

Your Senegal trip sounds good though too. I still reckon you should ride one way and ship the bikes back. Gives you more time for the trip and probably cheaper.

Looked at the R and nearly got one , as you say a load cheaper but i have the DR650 for proper playing !!!
Shipping is still an option as id like to get as far south as the money lets , as said i've got a year or so to sort things out.

Don't forget if you're every down this way call in for a brew

Cheers Phil
