DOWN IN AFRICA

THE BARBARY COAST

So coming into blog 15, I took the direction of interviewing a pair of riders from South Africa that Dave met the night before at the dinner. These two gents where a pair. They both ordered the same bike, one lives in Florida now, and the other lives in South Africa.

Their story is very simple, they both ride a lot, and both grew up together dating the same girl out of high school. They were the best of friends in school, and the still the best of friends when they get the chance to ride together both in the United States, and in South Africa, the only difference is the size of the road kill along side the highway.

Here's Dave's interview with Toto... "Frank and Rich"

The interesting point of these two riders they didn't finish. Frank and Rich only made it about half way. Rich wiped out on curve, fell asleep at the wheel, totaled his bike and Frank would not go on with out him. It is my understanding that both bikes where shipped back to Florida and they would take another go at the challenge in 2018.
