Ussel Mammut waiting to go abroad

Soundtrack: Peter Gabriel – Down To Earth

On the 27th of June 2010 I said farewell to my fellow travel mate, a Honda VFR 750, devil red. My first stage of the journey had finished and I was heading for another continent, South America.
Bike was crated by Outsource Packaging in Parow, South Africa, just outside Cape Town. It all took less than two hours for the guys to measure the bike and build the crate. I guess Cris from OP have done this several times before, so it wasn’t at all new for him. All I had to do was drain the fuel tank and find out where to put the rest of my luggage in the crate. All I left behind was my tent, sleeping bag and clothes to get through the cold nights here at SaltyCrax.
So now that the bike is in a box, I can start to look into finding a cheap airline ticket to Buenos Aires or what? No, wait a minute there, that isn’t exactly the situation. I currently have problems with the customs as I stated in the post below and a ship that luckily is delayed another week.
I can’t wait to I get on the other side of the dam and unpack the box, fire up the V4 and gun it down to Cape Horn ;oP
Bike is serviced with new oil and filter before hitting the South American roads.
For my luck, it seems like I already have several people welcoming me to stay at their places in South America, I look forward to see you and your country. Lets hope everything looks as good on South American side as here when I left my red devil.
Thanks to Pieter van der Vyver for helping me finding the place in Parow, cool you had the time to help out a lost soul ;oP
