Quick question: how much range do you get on a full tank on the 75? Did you carry spare fuel? If so, did you ever have to use it?

Go on son! Go on!

- add me to that list

Frederick and Josephine,

you 2 are an inspiration. Your patience alone deserves more praise than I can possibly say in 1 post.


Offtopic sidenote ~ wifey and I LOVE Belgian Beer too, our trip to Brussels in 2007 was one of the best trips we'd ever been on. The Belgian people couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating.

Wow!!!! I just read through this entire thread! Thanks so much for telling your story! I will never do a trip like this but I so much appreciate that you guys did and are sharing your adventure here! Fantastic!

Cant wait for the next installment!

Thanks,

Daniel:lurk:

Hands down best thread ever on ExPo:beer:

I love it! Great read…. :lurk:

More more....

Hi Both,
many thanks for your posts, inspring and disturbing at the same time it has kept me enthralled when i should have been working.
I'm already an hour late to a site visit because i wanted to get to the end (P44) of the posts.!

To think in the 60's the congo had a thiving economy, roads & schools and a future.. i dont know how long it will take to sort its self out if ever.

Your posts and photos give meat to the dry news I read on the BBC africa websites, with the intervention of the many outside sources of conflict from religion to foreign governments and now the drugs cartels I think the east of africa has a rutted track to a peaceful future.

I'd like to buy you both a beer if you are at the alrad show in germany 2011

you both put the "A" in adventure travel... bonne route..!

regards

Gren

I'm off for the weekend. :camping: :bike_rider: Story continues on Monday.

Bugger. Well, traffic will be down slightly at the expo =) I feel like Pavlov's dog reading this report. Every time I see RadioBoabab under the DRC subject line on the forum home page I get excited to read the next adventure. I have never seen so many new users posting in one thread. Monumental report. Enjoy your weekend.
