Aurel,

i realy like the stuff that you're wearing, plz some info on that - make,model,..., and also personal opinion would be appreciated(pro/cons)!

Because it looks like we are approx. the same build, that is why I'm asking. Looks comfie and still not to loose. I'm curently leaning toward Dainese, but ..., you never know, wright!!!

Thanks, miha

Hello to everyone from Romania, Bucharest.
Nice to be with you!
This was my first trip with my brand new Adv S.
From dealer at home... about 620 km. Big country :)

Hi there Matei
I visited your neck of the woods last year. I love that part of Europe. Much less of a rush with everything, a slower pace of life. Nice bike, good choice!

Hi c00k!e,

All that stuff come from Hein Gericke, it's a german brand but there is many shops in Europe and I think you can order online. The model I have is called "Tuareg". That's the winter version, totally waterproof and very warm. The best clothes I ever had on my bike!

Hope that helps

Hi BAZZER450,

Your pics are fantastic, I love the one with the woman behind your katoom

I would like to know where did you find those additional fuel tanks at the rear of your bike, those attached to your pannier. That would really help me. You can pm me.

Didnt like Nam Brew,Drank my share of Taffel and Hansa though
we started in Walvis Bay (we unloaded our bikes from the Container)
made our way up the coast then to Rhino Camp then to Ongongo camp,Epupa falls ,Caprive Strip ,Victoria Falls down to Botswana Naxi pans (via the old cattle trail)
out to Windhoek Namibia (and Joes Beer house !!! ) then back to Walvis Bay. 6400km's 16 days. Fantastic Ride.
Sometimes the smiles on the Kids were the best part of the ride

Hi Everyone. Hope you can see and read the attached dyno reading.
My riding partner Max, has just had his 990 back from a little breathing on by those good guys down a HM Racing. Some secret head work and a modded power commander is now giving the beast... 115 BHP AT THE REAR WHEEL
Mother save us. There is a box load of Bling to be installed as yet. once this is in place I will post a few shoots for you all.
Cheers RC.

Some nice photos there mate. How did the 950 handle the trip? I'm heading down to Morocco in March for 3 weeks, so I'd be interested to hear your comments.

I agree... fantastic photos... should be a ride report though as i'd loike to hear some commentary to go with a few of the pics...
