Twas tough on the machine.

Chefchauoen, Morocco.
The big job. Replacing the rear bevel bearing.

St-Louis, Senegal.
Mending the wiring for the rear lights in the hostel foyer.

St-Louis, Senegal.
A road-side welding repair to the left pannier rack.
The right one needed to be welded in Burkina Faso.
Bamako, Mali. Rebuilding the switch-gear. Sand had worn the contacts.
My colouring was starting to blend in with the locals too.........

Near Djenne, Mali.
A temporary fix to the damaged bash-plate after I nearly dropped the bike off a ferry ramp.
A little help from some friends.

Sevare, Mali. A permanent fix for the bash-plate.
The tent cover is blocking the sand and sun.

Bambara-Maounde, Mali.
Our lucky escape. The oil sight glass had blown out.
This man was a great help.

Burkina Faso-Ghana border. The bike had been running quite badly so we decided to change the plugs and oil before crossing the border.

Akosombo Dam, Ghana. Clutch cable.

Accra International Airport, Ghana.
Getting An Capall ready for the plane. Fluids out.

  1. So would you bring An Capall on another trek or go with another bike ? If so which one ?

  2. If we were travelling on one bike again, then we'd definitely take the BMW. It was big enough and powerful enough for us both to travel in comfort.

    If we were travelling on separate bikes, there would be a number of different options. Personally, I like Africa Twins.
