Dag 14 / Day 14

Dag begin nie op ‘n goeie noot nie nadat ek die vorige dag al agtergekom het dat dit voel die motorfiets se voor rim ovaal is. By nadere inspeksie is dit duidelik dat daar ‘n probleem met die voorband is, en dat dit defnitief nie Nairobi in Kenia gaan maak nie. Wat nou gedoen? Johan en Riana in samewerking met Ray Muller van Cytek probeer om ‘n band in Lilongwe te kry, maar sonder enige sukses, en die besluit word geneem dat ek maar stadig sal aanry Tanzanie toe en dat daar intussentyd ‘n plan gemaak sal word.

Terwyl ek wag op nuus oor die band in Salima, ontmoet ek vir Sharon, haar dogter en Clayton wat al die pad van Durban, deur Mosambiek tot hier op 125 en 250 cc Yamahas gery het, en oppad terug is. Voorwaar ‘n besonderse prestasie as mens in agneem dat hulle al hul kampeer toerusting op die motorfietse dra. ( Hope you make it back home safely guys) Hulle kan gevolg word op www.motorcyclingmadness.co.za

Starting my day with a wary feeling. I noticed the day before that the front rim feels Oval. With further inspection it is very clear that there is definitely a problem with the front tyre, no way I am going to reach Nairobi (Kenya). What to do? Johan, Riana and Ray Muller (Cytek) attempted to arrange a tyre in Lilongwe, but to no avail. I made the decision to travel slowly to Tanzania, hoping that a solution will follow.

While waiting on news about the tyre, I met Sharon her daughter and Clayton travelling all the way from Durban (South Africa) through Mozambique to Salima on 125 en 250 cc Yamaha's. A true achievement if taken into account that they are travelling with ALL their camping equipment on the bikes. (Pray that you make it back safely guys).
