Hey all -
I'm moving down to Senegal for about a year and would really like to take my 2007 Bonne black with me. The route is (France - Spain - Morocco - Western Sahara - Mauritania - Senegal). Obviously this is not an off-road bike, nor is the tank big enough to get me from one town to the next in Western Sahara or Mauritania.
What are the main things I need to worry about for a 3500 mile road trip of this kind as well as maintaining a bonneville in Dakar? Can the bike handle the trip? I believe it is concrete the whole way down, but it's hot, it's dusty. Are there bigger gas tanks I could put on a bonne boosting it to 25 gallons? What else (except thieves and security) do I need to worry about for a road trip of this kind. Any tips much appreciated.
