Would you be keen on taking a Harley across Africa?
I mean. Think about it. Driving your Harley through Africa with wildlife alongside the road. Wide open plains to just devour with your road eating machine. Well, would you?

only two Harley's suited for the road (lack of) conditions there. Sporty or Buell with knobby tires.

RE: Would you be keen on taking a Harley across Africa?
I have travelled through Morrocco, Egypt and Kenya, all on seperate trips, and I would not ride my bike there. Once you get out of the big cities the chance of running into people that don't like guys from Christian countries is extreme. When we were in Cairo, and we were planning to go to the Aswan Dam on the train, we had to fly because snipers were shooting at "american" looking people. In Kenya, we went on a safari, and it was hundreds of miles on basically dirt paths to get to TreeTops. If you break down, you are in deep trouble. In Morrocco, it's pretty safe, but I don't know about the surrounding countries.
I'm pretty adventuresome, but that is just to risky for me.

I would ride in South Africa. I lived there .....Oh my gosh...thirty-two years ago. I know that it has changed some but it was mostly civilized back then. I wouldn't ride in eastern or central Africa. Check with the US State Department. http://travel.state.gov/travel/cis_p...w/tw_1764.html
