Heidi, I didn't realise u weren't sticking to highway1. I've done all that dirt section, albeit a few years ago. Keep in mind that this
section will blow ur daily klm quota to bits. The dirt/dust will also tire u out much more quickly and the corrugations will test ur equipment to the
max'. Find a happy speed on the corrugations and get on the gas in the heavy bulldust to get the weight off the front end.

, I'll stick to 'Busa's. Only the '99 to
early '00 models had "weak" subframes, they were made from aluminium that used to "work harden" and eventually crack/break. They were
replaced by steel ones that seem to handle it fine.
Best of luck, wish I could get the time off to go!.
Cheers,
Tex & Bundy
PS. Travel light, weight breaks things!.

Bummer about the hardware. BTW, did you stay with a black ZX14 rider called
Grant over in the west?
