Originalsly: Nice pics!.... Thanks

what is the longest time you spent riding non stop?..... About 1hr 20 mins. The 160km stretch between Aflao and Accra

Was language a big problem along the way?.... Not at all. There is always someone that speaks English

Was there much concern about the safety of the bikes while you slept?..... No, bikes were parked in the Hotel car park. Or do you think we spent more than a day on the trip? We didn't. The trip was about 10hours each way with border crossing, petrol stops etc accounting for 4hrs

did you guys meet other bike groups?... Yes, in Accra

How was the foods along the way?... Not applicable. We didn't stop to eat. A couple of us had fried turkey at one of the borders though. Can't remember which

had to ehmmm...dash off to the bushes after eating? ;-) .... Not applicable

noticed you guys were in like full riding gear...weren't you burning up?... We were. Re-hydration is key

Nice nice journey

azpekuliar: Good job Shagati, good job. A first from a biker on NL.

OmoAkerele: 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.

OmoAkerele: @ omoajiri; I would be selling my 2008 Yamaha R6 end of Nov,

Shagati: Suzuki GSX-R 1300 Hayabusa

Hayabusa - meaning the Peregrine Falcon - fastest factory made road bike at 300-something kph, the peregrine falcon is the natural prey of the (Honda) blackbird .

@Shagati, I'm almost stomping up, N900,000 for a 2012 Yamaha FZ-8. I just did a quick calculation based on the prices at MetallicStore, why are the accessories so expensive? Excluding training, from the helmets to the gloves a whopping N162,200 alone! Jeeeeez! And I'm only gonna be riding on weekends.

Fhemmmy:

You only live once so if you can afford it, please go ahead and get what you want and be happy . . . Even if you riding for just once a week, if you have what it takes to buy - Treat yourself

azpekuliar:

I can most certainly buy the bike, but it's likely gonna be packed for a long, long time...

Fhemmmy:

I see what you mean, then, in that case, i will advice to wait a little then cos the price for the bike might drop as well . . . Besides, what kinda accessories are you looking for, just wanna see if i could get them cheaper here in Canada for you

azpekuliar:


The bike is a good deal for that price. It was bought brand new, 6000 miles, Yamaha certified clean, comes with a GPS loaded with WA maps a battery charger. The owner would reluctantly ship it back to the Belgium in a few days if he doesn't get an acceptable offer. I don't think I wanna pass this up. It would cost well over a million to ship the same bike in. Are there better deals in Canada for helmets, boots, jackets, riding pants & gloves?
