Default Anyone Else Willing to Consider an African Charity Adventure Ride in 09?

You only live once.

The riding seems mellow....but what an adventure. And I normally would NEVER consider an organized ride, but this one caught my eye.

Tax deductable too....or solicit sponsors.

Bueller....Bueller.

Would be awesome. Went on a safari in Kenya, and I'd LOVE to d/s it over there! Most of the major road are dirt, so it would rock. It would be freakin' awesome to ride though a herd of zebra, instead of doing it in a Range Rover.

I'm normally open to interacting with the environment, but in this case my instinct tells me discretion may be the better part of valor. I'll dive with sharks all day.....but riding a ds through a herd of Zebras would really spook me....Lions eat Zebras.....I'll take an organized trip on this one.

Nuthin worse than being a Finger Mullet in a school of Snook.

Awe, hell, just do it w/ a sawed of 12 gauge in a makeshift saddle bag -- i.e. Terminator style. That should cure what could possibly ail (eat) you.

I'd be more afraid of sharks I think. You, a human, would be a fish out of water in water (pardon the bad pun), plus the shark is the oldest, most ruthless, and efficient killer on Earth. They were here before crocodiles. That tells ya soemthing.

While riding through a heard of hooved animals isn't exactly smart either, I'll take that over sharks.

LOL.....I guess it's all what you are used to, been diving and spearing phish...since I was 10. To me most sharks are just part of the environment....but an aggressive bull or hammer head will get your attention fast, but they will only target you if they sense fear...just like a dog....but there are exceptions...and I have had a couple scuffles before. Usually a real hard pop to the snout will give you enough time to get back to the boat.

I have popped a few bulls & blacktips with a bangstick before. Now an open water Mako or Great White is sumthin totally different.....I would fight, but I would probably loose quick unless the Apex predator was a bit hesistant....then I would have a chance....hope I never encounter one.

Cats are evil....so lions must be too.

Hey you're derailing my Africa adv trip for next year.

Maier klx 300 rear fender with baja designs led tail-light. Good stuff. I like, unlike lions.
