A sponsor of note...

Ok. So we are only about 5 weeks away from our departure date! We have set ourselves some deadlines, and we've been meeting them... well kinda. The DRC visa application has been sent off, seriously holding thumbs on this one! I've paid the cash into their bank account and our passports are floating around this country of ours somewhere, dodgy feeling!
We have been to KTM and given them a spare parts list, lets see what the outcome is there, we should be getting an answer today!
PK and I have had some serious crash bars fitted to the bike, see the pic below. Still got to be powder coated. Luke also managed to get us a deal on some carbon fiber protection for the fuel tank, brake discs and engine covers...


So the biggest news to date is our Garmin Zumo sponsor. Luke you beauty. PK and I are kinda wondering what Luke all promised this guy, he is getting us a bit worried... Another thing is the screens, they should be here any minute so we can fit that too.
I'm off to the Doc this afternoon to get our medical kit sorted out. We got the malaria kit sorted last Friday, each of us has a self test kit and daily malaria tabs, Doximal (spelling...) and Coartem
as a treatment. The Doc at the Travel clinic gave a moerse big soap to take along, it's a freebie! Thanks Doc!

Well, now everything has got to happen fast ... keep it on 2 wheels!
