Hi Guys, many thanks for the info and link etc.
Yes have been checking out the crazy prices over there, even worse for me with SA Rand..!
Wanted to try to save a bit and not have to buy another bike just for a few weeks trip and then sell it on return, as i have a perfect CB400F in the UK kitted out for travel. it's already done South Africa, USA, Canada, Europe, Ireland UK etc.
Have paid a deposit for the ferry, so we are going around end of August next year. will take some pics.
