If you were planning a motorcycle trip to Africa, where you were going to traverse steep mountain passes, explore lesser travelled roads and visit remote places, travelling solo with a rough plan open to any opportunity, what bike would you choose to take?

That’s just what Gareth Jones from South Wales rode on his African adventure, a trip he had been wanting to do for a long time.

And when you’re passionate - the impossible can become the possible.
