We pick out the top ten adventure bikes from the 1980's and 90's which laid the path for today's all-singing, technology-laden weapons

Africa Twin, The Trip Home This is about 50 clicks into a 200km piste. I haven's seen any sign of life since I left the last village and I didn't see anyone for the rest of the day. It was a strange feeling to be so isolated... The white stuff is a layer of hard salt under the sand - presumably a dry lake bed. Africa Twin in it's element. I guess this is a dry riverbed. The going is a bit rough but the AT just soaks it up. No one as far as the eye can see... Tanking in Tata. It took me a while to find this place. I kept driving past it looking for something with a forecourt, a canopy and a big plastic sign... Note the petrol stored in 5L plastic olive oil bottles in through the open door. The fuel is being poured through a funnel made from another plastic bottle and is being filtered through a nylon stocking! The following day, back on the highway again for a bit. I was glad of the rest really - I'd aggravated an old back injury the previous day and was still in pain. On my map this was shown as a piste and I was simultaneously disappointed and relieved to find it was a sealed road! Christmas Eve, Foum Zguid. Doesn't look like much but I found a nice auberge, got a very fine meal of chicken & chips and olives and made a few phone calls. There was a nice buzz about the town and quite a few deserty tourists. Christmas morning 2008 - Leaving Foum Zguid feeling refreshed, and happy to be heading out into the desert again. Happiness is a well prepared bike, a nearly full tank and a day filled with potential. This is what happens when you forget to deflate your tyres after a tarmac section. The weather is mild rather than hot, the piste is well marked and the going is fairly easy. This was a blissful way to spend Christmas Day. Easy going, but it got sandy as I approached the village in the distance. More to follow.... Part 1 is here... Sahara Trip, Christmas 2008 (Part 1) Part 3 is here...

EICMA 2014 - Tornano i rumors sulla globetrotter per antonomasia della Casa dell’ala dorata: l’Africa Twin dovrebbe puntare sulla leggerezza (peso intorno ai 180 kg), "abbandonare" il motore a V sostituendolo con un più economico parallelo frontemarcia. La vedremo al Salone di Milano

L'adesivo viene creato sul momento, se torni in alto infatti puoi scegliere la misura e il colore che preferisci. L'adesivo viene ricavato da un foglio di vinile del colore desiderato, tagliato da un'apposita macchina che realizza il disegno con le dimensioni che hai scelto. In seguito, vengono eliminate le parti in eccesso. In sintesi quindi, gli adesivi non hanno sfondo ne contorni tra una lettera e l'altra, sono fatti solo del colore scelto.
