Guys this is just a reminder to everyone if u must ride make sure you got your riding gear, one of my friends just had a nasty fall and it wasnt a pretty sight

Weekend ride in Ibadan

Thought I would have to join in.

I  have 22 bikes, all different styles.



Picture above is my KTM 525 EXC Enduro, single cylinder 55 hp good fun for the countyside. (KTM are made in Austria, they build some fantastic machines)

This is my KTM lc4 620 I will be traveling from the UK to Ghana and  Niger later in the year. (visas etc allowing)

The trip will take around 12 weeks of all goes to plan .

Hello,

@ zorro,

Hi, saw your post

would like to get my first bike something between 250 and 400 cc,

have under just 400k to spend and was wondering if you could point me in the right direction.

I live in Calabar and traveling to see the bike in question will not be a problem.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Best wishes.

@ Topefl
Actually the first two pictures were taken in Jericho the 3rd in You.i on Idia road and the last picture was taken at the petrol station just outside You.i .
 Oga Ajai is still around and fixes our bikes sometimes but we don't use him as often as before because there is a younger mechanic we use around ring road

@ Zorro,

I forgot about Jericho. Close to Forestry Research Institute. Thats cool. I wish there were biker clubs when i was in Ibadan. I used to ride once a while with a guy that makes carvings (Art Work) in Sabo close to the barracs his name is Ighodalo. Had a bike Oga Ajai could not fix for a year. I had to come back to Florida and called my Dad to go tow my shit from his shop.

Guy send me your email so we can share a few ideas, I am thinking of visiting Nigeria and possibly bringing a hayabusa. my email is   tip2datop@yahoo.com

Safe.

Hey,

Holla!

thanks for the advice sir. I do appreciate,  but I am already riding like the GHOST RIDER!  call it flair! I am checking the website out and planning on buying some gear by the end of today,  Tanx bro.

Hey good news to you all bikers and rider. I found something amazing that a power bike club is already set up in Nigeria by some cool dud in Switzerland and America. You can visit their website http://www.africanmirror.org then choose nigeria.

Am so glad so a despline constitution is put in place. I just hope they follow the rules as written.
