Had a 3 country trip in May 12 and back to Nigeria already, never been to these countries previously. Celebrated Bob Marley day(11/May) with interesting Rastas.
Used the recently renovated 07 ST, it went smoothly without a hitch. Everybody likes the red ST and i had a lot of explanation to give people on bike info.

Thanks for sharing your ride pics. Despite differences around the world some things are the same - pictures of friends old and new and pictures of a bike crossing a new border.

Looks to me like you're living life large. I'm envious! Relaxed and smiling...nothing but good.

ps Can you find out where the guy with the red pants bought them, I need a pair of those.

Thanks for the ride report. I really look forward to reading about your travels. That ST1300 must be one of the fastest motorcycles in Nigeria.

Hey Longerone. Nice photos.

In the last photo, you and your 3 friends are touching each others thumb and index finger. What's the significance of that? Looks like a special "until the next time" kind of farewell.
