Hi Jeff
Thank you very much for your support and your writings here. You have a deal, I will drop by and say hello to you and your family. I don't want to miss seeing a guy who have the will to help others even when he is without a job, not many would do that. I cross my fingers that you will get a new and good job before I arrive to visit you.
I will for sure be up for a ride with you and the other guys in the States.
See you up north in 2010 or 2011?
Thanks again for helping a motorcycle traveller.
Salute
Mick
Mick,
Your journey is an inspiration to all of us that dream of doing this trip. Its far to easy to make excuses NOT to do it. I applaud you for your efforts.
Two things I love, swimming and motorcycles. The swimming you will see on my blog about my dedication to it. As far as bike, I'm currently riding a 2003 VFR that I just got in April, loving it so far. I live in GA (USA) in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains....an awesome place to ride! So if you ever get through GA, just North of Atlanta, there are LOTS of us VFR owners that would love to meet you and would certainly offer you board, food, cash....support!
So good luck in your journey and I hope we cross paths some time! I'm gonna donate what I can (I'm unemployed at the moment or it would be more) and hopefully it helps!
Best of luck and keep two up!
Jeff Palm
Hey Mick.
Håber at du har det godt, og får set og oplevet noget

PS. Ser frem til et lille grill arrangement, når du er kommet hjem
Hej Mik.
Godt gået. Det har været sjovt at følge din tur ned gennem Afrika.
Go´ vind

Hey, Mick!!! Keep sucking down that water.
Lilly misses you!
Hi Caro
Thanks for your reply. Hope everything is great back home in Nijmegen, Holland.
I am still enjoying every day and will continue as far as I can.
Say hello to all I know
See you and take care

Hope to see you one day back in Nijmegen.

Hi René,
You can guess that I´m not Mick, I´m more pretty than him hehe. I´m the support to Mick when he has not internet.
He can´t reply you by the moment becouse he´s on the road and of course without conection to internet. Anyway I will try to help you with your questions...
He has arrived at Congo right now acompanied by Ian (another guy who is around the world). They will be at SA (Cape Town) around of a month, so you could meet him when you arrive to down there.
He will reply you when he´ll have internet which I hope will be soon. Meanwhile if you need something from him just tell me and I will say to him.
Take care on the road and ride safe...
Nice to meet you and regards from Spain

Hi Mick,
we don't know each other (yet). Looks like I am pretty close behind you on the way down to SA. I heard about you, when I spent a couple of days in the Zebrabar, St. Louis (from Monika...). I am travelling with my BMW R1200GS and want to be in South Africa for the World Cup, my first match will be on June 30th. Currently I am in Quaga, Burkina. Tomorrow I will go to Niger and then head on to Nigeria and Cameroon.
I got a little bit confused, where you are right now. You're travelling south also, right? Have you passed through Nigeria already? Where are you right now?
Maybe we'll have the chance to meet each other. Would be cool, I like your posts very much.
If you like, check out my blog also, it's http://afrique-zwansischsehn.blogspot.com.
Cheers & CU,
René.
Tak for hilsener fra Danmark.
Per: Pacekeeper'en er i brug dagligt og selv i + 50 graders varme virker den til punkt og prikke hvor meget andet gear holder op med at virke.
Hvad angår vejene hernede, det har jeg ikke ord for at beskrive, jeg er stadigvæk begejstret over hvor hårdfør en VFR egentlig er. Jeg har en Yamaha Tenere på slæb, en kammerat fra England, vi har ugentlig problemer med denne ang. korrosion i ledningsnettet hvilket resulterede i en kølerfan der ikke fungerede, nedslidt gummiklodser i bagnav, ujævn tomgang grundet indsprøjtning og den Afrikanske benzin der indeholder alt fra sand til guldfisk. Men vi klarer skærene og skal nok nå Cape Town.
Vi har for alvor mærket hvor hårdt det er på liv og sjæl efter erobringen af Nigeria. Politiet prøver konstant at presse nogle penge ud af os uden held.
Jeg blev dog anholdt i Togo og ført på station grundet lidt uhensigtsmæssig kamera-føring da præsidenten kom susendende forbi i militær convoy, men slap uden hæfte eller bøde efter lidt snak med dem. Det gør virkelig en forskel at rejse på motorcykel frem for i 4x4. Mange grænseovergange er gratis grundet vores tilgang til dem vi møder på vores vej, og selv de lokale i de små landsbyer inviterer os indenfor for logi.
Mange hilsener og tak Per.
Hej Sanne & Ole
Håber I har det godt hjemme på Allé'en og hygger jer med de gamle. Alt går godt hernede, selvom Nigeria nok har været det mest mærkelige land at rejse i. Holder man ind til siden, er der omkring 100-200 over én inden for 10 minutter. Til tider er man træt af det, men de er jo bare nysgerrige så jeg tager det med et smil. Vi har dog været lidt uheldige med vores grej, jeg har mistet min GPS, den forsvandt på den værst tænkelige strækning ind til Nigeria fra nord Benin. Ian's GPS besluttede sig for at stoppe med at virke idag. Ud over det er det rejsen over alle rejser. Afrika er vildt, skørt uforudsigelig. Alt kan ske og sker. Men jeg elsker det.
Mange knus til jer derhjemme og hvem som måtte læse dette.
