The Bike, the background.
It deserves to be published.

GREAT PICTURE!!!!!!!! BMW should talk to some of the members here about pictures for their booklets, We have several (including you) great photographers who visit this forum, Thanks, I am looking forward to more pictures of your area, btw, is it true the Blue color is a little faster? Den

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!
Glad I've found a home for my bike's stories
As I am female I don't have any technical knowledge to share here but hopefully I can learn from you! (My bike just keeps on going.....
)
I'm adding this link from our last trip (4 days) which we did over New Year into Lesotho.

Welcome Blondi!
Beautiful photos you have posted. I checked out the link. I spent a month in Sudan about two years ago on a project and I am amazed at the contrast in your part of the continent and where I was.
I have an '03 r (silver) and have had it for just over 4 yrs now. Great bike and love it more each day. One of these days I hope to have the chance to work in Africa again but sadly probably won't be in the beautiful part that you live in.
