Hi Lodie,
Good luck with your adventure, this time you have a “maatjie” to share it with you !
I have just returned from a trip to Caborra Bassa on my KLR. This was my first overland trip on a motorcycle. We rode dirt all the way to the lake.
At the beginning of my trip the other ‘’ou’s’ laughed at my bike, as they were riding KTM, New Yamaha ect;- THIS WAS THE ONLY BIKE THAT DID NOT GIVE ANY TROUBLE OR USE ANY OIL !!
Good luck!

Africa, Europe, Russia / Siberia! Well done KLR! 
Don’t pay attention to KTM’ers. Most have a chip on the shoulder. KLR’s are bulletproof and the best value for money today.
