An Idiot Got Bored: London to Joburg
What makes the project an epic voyage is the platform he’s riding, which is a flea of a thing, a 125cc Suzuki Van Van. Oh, and that he’s riding it all for charity.

La Aduana: 1977 Ford Bronco, One owner, 43,000 miles

VOTD: Motonomad, Austria to Egypt on a KTM 500EXC
{youtube}yhWR5jjGzfM{/youtube}
via West County Explorers Club: This promo film is amazing. Two guys, Adam Riemann and his friend Mark, ride two KTM 500EXCs 7,000kms (4,350 miles) from Austria to Egypt in 32 days days, filming as they go. They have no support crew and no back-up vehicles. Everything they bring, they carry on their backs or their bikes. That’s thousands of miles overlanding on a couple of 500cc dirt bikes. Awesome.
The full-length Motonomad film is scheduled to be released next year. The aerial shots were filmed with an XAircraft X650 quadcopter. Hat’s off to these guys.
