    Bike Movie - African Odyssey

    For those of you that missed it

    African Odyssey - the movie

    Tonight and tomorrow night (July 1 and 2) African Odyssey is showing at The Academy Cinema - under the Auckland Central Library at 6pm.

    There's a bit of a write up in Kiwi Rider. It appears four friends with little riding experience and little money buy four dungers and ride from the bottom of Africa to London. The guy riding the 1990 250 off road bike must have been &#%#@ sore.


    More info here;

    & maybe in Rotorua too...

    I was talking to Brandon at The Wall Cinema in Rotorua on Monday, he has a copy of the movie & is keen to show it if there is enough interest from locals, it'd be cheap & there is a bar there too Who's keen?

    Cheers

    Their interview, on Breakfast this morning, said that they will be screening in Wellington on the 13th of July at The Paramount.

    Never knew it was on Clint, the only way I learn whats on in the world is here on KB!

    That is a bit of a worry sometimes! Cheers John.

    Yep, damned good movie. It was also interesting to have 3 of the 4 guys there for a question and answer session afterwards. Definitely the grassroots of adventure motorcycle travel.

    The DVD can be bought through the site. Just scroll down the page to their home page to the link or go here,

    http://www.endemicworld.com/Events.htm

    When asked what they used to plan where they were going and to get around they responded with something like "we bought a map in Capetown and drew on it with a pencil". So with no GPS and a compass packed away if navigating by the sun wasn't working too well they set off.

    Another rider we bumped into said he'd seen every adventure motorbike movie and this was the best. I haven't seen much but I thought it was hilarious because against all logic and wisdom they set off on an adventure with poor bikes, not much riding experience and pull it all together with some real luck at times.


    Well worth the watch.

    For those who want to see it but have missed it, I suggest you pool your $$ and buy the DVD and have a KB viewing night....
