Nice pics!....what is the longest time you spent riding non stop? ... Was language a big problem along the way?... Was there much concern about the safety of the bikes while you slept?...did you guys meet other bike groups?... How was the foods along the way?...had to ehmmm...dash off to the bushes after eating? ;-) ....noticed you guys were in like full riding gear...weren't you burning up?...seeing that you were riding well within the speed limit?!" ;-) No more questions.....at the moment! |

Wonderful thread Shagati , i've seen loads of threads like these on advrider.com but mostly by caucasians. Please take time to take more pics. I priced a tokunboh 750 gsxr yesterday...still a bit beyond my reach @ N700k What do you think about the price . I mean i want a 600cc honda cbr used how much do you think i'll need? |

@ Shagati, thanks for the enlighten us so far but I have a few more questions for you. 1. What are the things to look out for in a bike before buying it? I'm looking @ buying a Tokunbo bike later this month. 2. Carburetor or injector fuel supply system (like in motor vehicles) which is better? 3. Any other grey areas to know before paying for that bike. Thank you sir |

omoghana22: I DONT THINK THIS IS TRUE. IS IT THAT YOU GUYS DONT HAVE PICTURES TO PROVE? YOU MUST STOP AT 3 BORDERS BEFORE GETING TO ACCRA. WHERE ARE THE PICS. ONLY SEME? WHAT ABOUT ELAKOJI AND AFLAO. ANY THE IDEA IS A GOOD ONE........LET THE COMPETITION START.[img][/img] U probably mean Hila Konji, Lol. They were not allowed to take pics ooo. At Aflao, there is short thickset military man very dark and carries himself like a frustrated military captain that lost a series of battles. If you try taking a pic there, omo, that guy go beat u like thief. I commend the suicide attempters on bike for not trying to take pics jare. If you guys need a pic, take ABC bust Lag to Accra and take all the pics you want |

GH PATRIOT:do not know that but I guess no ones wants to be left out in the exploits of money making and frustrations. Some years back,it was very easy to go benin without been disturbed by asking you to pay cash but today, almost everyone is paying to enter benin after you must have settled yourself at the immigration post. This guys are getting worse by the day, when they mean you should drop l'argent(money), better do it. |

moyinoluwabun: Bajaj no fit embark on this kind tour?y I'm sure you mean lower capacity bikes. The answer is yes, it will just take longer. People have transversed North and South America on 125cc motorcycles before and I'm sure there are ongoing trips as we write |
Re: Road Trip On A Motorcycle From Lagos To Accra & Back To Lagos. by DisGuy: 6:40pm On Oct 05, 2013 |
How was riding at the other side compared to Lagos Were the drivers more considerate of bicycles/motorbikes or are they as mad as Lagos drivers- survival of the fittest? a lot angry honking or more patient drivers? |

@omoajiri ...as a female I love adventure and I really would like to be part of this even if an escort on the bike. Any chance? |
Re: Road Trip On A Motorcycle From Lagos To Accra & Back To Lagos. by omoajiri(m): 8:07pm On Oct 05, 2013 |
@ Kayalla, I will be very glad to have you on the trip but maybe you missed the part where i said im yet to get a bike an iv never rode one before even as a passenger. i hope to acquire a bike very soon and I will definitely invite you on a trip after i might have trained extensively in handling a bike. cheers |
Re: Road Trip On A Motorcycle From Lagos To Accra & Back To Lagos. by OmoAkerele(m): 12:34am On Oct 06, 2013 |
Wetin dey…Why are so many people skeptic. Like Shagati said, Lagos to Accra is only 460 km, In my option the most frustrating part about the trip are the border crossing, in particular Aflao. Nice one Shagati, I enjoyed the few pictures. @ omoajiri; I would be selling my 2008 Yamaha R6 end of Nov, it’s an ideal bike for starters (if you aren’t above 6 feet tall). I most warn you you’ll probably get an R6 cheaper than mine at Ebute-Metta/Oyingbo, but mine’s got full Yamaha service history, 1 owner and it’s ready for Shagati kind trips. |

Shagati: As the topic suggests, is this even possible?Pls can a cruiser bike go on along distance tour of this sort, say a yamaha 1100 classic, i am likely getting one before december. |
