Road trips are really fun. Enjoyed my Abj - Enugu drive this week. Looking forward to the return trip in the new year

EgunMogaji:


Nigeria to Gambia and back is on my bucket list.

PaperLace:

With bike?
Nahhh... I hate bikes!
Won't cold kill someone on the road?

dumo1:

i fear bike pass lion sef

EgunMogaji:


You'll be surprised how comfortable you can be on a properly kitted motorcyclist and motorcycle.

My current bike, for example, has heated handlebar grips, heated seat, 12volt outlet to plug in heated riding suit and an adjustable windscreen.

PaperLace:
The heated handlebar grips, seat and riding suit sounds like a nice idea, but I still don't think I can withstand the ride for long.

My butt will hurt , I can't even recline my seat, stretch my legs.
Hope you're joking sha, Gambia by road? With bike? Nna, go alone o_ safe journey .

I've always had this fear that bike accidents are more fatal than cars.

dumo1:

Should we be expecting a road trip thread Sir?

EgunMogaji:


Okay, I understand.

Peruse this thread https://www.nairaland.com/1461211/road-trip-motorcycle-lagos-accra if you have time.

uboma:



Another informative thread loading on your return leg atleast......

Piyke:


Did a thread on my previous trip. https://www.nairaland.com/3147460/best-route-owerri-abuja-road

Maybe I might do another since no two road trips are the same

nurey:


Daddy I don follow you reach this thread and you know the drill. Lol

Can she do the road trip with her Lexus LS600H L, that's what I ordered for her for Christmas.

Road trips are fun in the white man's country but in some African continent is it not suicide. How do you jump the hurdle of custom, quarantine officers, security men, kidnapping, terrorists, thieves, wild animals etc the list is so long.

Incase you are thinking of doing one inform me earlier so I can start planning and budgeting for the trip.

EgunMogaji:


Sidon there they make excuses.

Nairalanders like you like Shagati and co rode to Ghana and back and they weren't eaten by pygmies.

Other Nairalanders drove from Europe to Nigeria.

Just admit you don't have what it takes. It's okay.

PS: I don't care what she makes the trip on. Camel or Moblet are okay. Ajala used a Vespa.

nurey:


We all have liver pass ourselves. I want to be involved that's why I said if you planning let me know so I can plan too and carry my own weight.

EgunMogaji:


Don't wait on me Sir.

No offense but you'll make a poor travel partner because of your defeatist fears

You should join Shagati and crew by getting your feet wet on local sojourns.

PaperLace:

What is today's date, Uncle?

Where did you drive 1000km to?

I went through that thread again_ I have done that before, still felt new and inspiring.

kingreign:
We thank God person's 1000km+ adventures no end in a sad tales, but bask him if he bought the Micra back home or e kaput for halfway on his 1000km+

nurey:


It's a special ride, from a special manufacturer to a special person. So it would take a "special time" to arrive. Yoruba adage says "we shouldn't rush to eat something we would eat for all eternity"

I drove from Lagos to kano, but unfortunately for me, my engine knock for zaria. But I fixed it and completed my journey.

PaperLace:

Wow.
I thought men take care of their cars _what happened?
What causes an engine to knock? How do they fix it_ swap a part of the engine or what? Did you cry? I heard it hurts real bad

Lagos to Kano, that's some distance. Do you guys go these distances with a map?
I've gone some reasonable distances, but I worked with landmarks provided by who I was going to see, I was with someone who knows the route or I ask questions (preferably from police officers).

Lol. Funny adage. okay, I am chilling.

nurey:


I made a thread on it here,
https://www.nairaland.com/2697540/1000km-journey-using-1.5l-petrol

Don't be too harsh with your comment, I have moved on. Hehe

BTT:
Returned to Lagos via same route the following day Sunday, 18-Dec-2016.

Thank God Almighty for journey mercies.

No hitch: Not even a flat.

Left Zaria 6 am dot.


Got to Lagos past 8pm. An hour plus lost to traffic around Shagamu Redemption Camp exchange courtesy of Julius Berger's poor road traffic diversions/management.

Got home. Parked car. 9.05pm

The last pix (side-view of car in my compound) was taken the following morning.
