At last! I am just about to leave. All is ready and packed
and the nerves are pretty raw – Exhilarated and scared at the same time!
So many things had to fall in place, get changed, bought or
fixed and in the end, all has worked out.

The other great news is that I have (at last) got my dream
action camera. Thanks to awesome service I got the Drift HD1080 through Action
Gear http://www.actiongear.co.za/ and what a sweet deal I got! Most of my
footage of the coming trip will be taken by this camera.
For this Namibian experience I am joined by Toni, my
vertically challenged Italian friend riding a very high KTM 990 and for the
first few days, my previous “co-biker” Abie. Unfortunately he has to turn back,
but we will then be met by another friend just across the border.

Brutus lost a bracket of the side
stand and left me in the lurch on a previous ride. In the meantime a new
bracket has been made, he has been for his long-distance-all clear-check-up and
now packed and ready to be mounted! We will be camping or staying with friends
most of the way. I just hope the icy Cape
weather stays behind as I don’t think freezing to death in a tent is part of
the package deal!

So here’s to leaving on a new and
exciting adventure – my bike, my curiosity and my spirit of adventure!
Carpe Diem!!
