I've never ridden a motorbike, apart from pillion on a ZZR-1100 at ludicrous speed, and wearing bubba's leathers in the lounge just pretending I was on something Japanese and screaming, but I watched 'the Long Way Down' and that makes me fancy one of those BMW R 1200 GS, don't care if they're chain, shaft or any other drive.... nearly as good as a series Land Rover, but easier to get across Africa on.
