    YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - CRC AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE CRC. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE

    I had a look on google to see what an Africa Twin was and came across this - it may be of interest to you. Looks like a bike you could have some fun on, I might see you on a ride sometime. Oh, and welcome to KB.

    Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body, .... but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out,... shouting "man, what a ride"!!!

    Hi it's good to see another dual purpose biker here.

    The Africa Twin's are a bit thin on the ground over here, I have only seen a few in all my year's of riding, a good bike tho but never really took-off over here.
    Feel the fear and do it anyway

    Don't confuse education with intelligence.
    There are alot of highly educated idiots out there.

    thepom actually joined KB over a year ago judging by his profile info.
    Him is an ex F650 then Transalp owner (his was just like mine... same year and everything... oh that's right it now is mine) and strangely enough i've ridden with him before.

    Hey tp i'm guessing you have already visited DAS? like the others suggest.
    www.remotemoto.com - a serious site for serious ADV riders, the ultimate resource in the making.
    Check out my videos on Youtube including... the 2011 Dusty Butt 1K - Awakino Challenge and others.

    Yeah I suspected it to be the same Kenny. By mentioning Linton & Phil thought it might draw him out.

    So when are you going to join us on a ride Kenny.
