    There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won't. We should come home from our adventures having faced their perils and uncertainties, endured their discomfort and beaten the odds, with a sly acknowledgment and revitalised solidarity of character.

    This time, we've got to do Mt Pat early in the season. When there's a better snow:ice ratio.

    ha, nah best bet is always to do a casual bit of local research followd by local purchase.

    Wow, very low miles! and a tidy looker. Anyone looking for an Africa should grab it. At face value it looks like value for dosh. I know the naysayers will say its a bit pricey for an old(er) bike, but as an RD04 owner I reckon I could jump on this one and ride it another 70-100,000km with nothing more than basic and routine maintenance.
