Wow, what a response. Thank you all for the kind words. This seems like a fantastic little community.
Ruku: No GPS except for a handheld hiking style navigator which I only brought to cover for the eventuality that I was seriously lost. Navigation was a combination of the Hema Motorcycle Atlas maps and blind luck. More route planning is a must next time. I think the downfall was failing to appreciate what long distance motorcycle riding is actually like. I'd look at the distance and go "Only 300kms? I'll only ride for 3 hours a day!" but in hindsight that's a better distance with stops, rest etc. I always try to straddle that line between planning and spontaneity when it comes to travelling. Definitely tweaks to be made next time.
Sir Francis: Hopefully you guys can co-exist with a bunch of eager young whipper snappers!
I'll upload more pictures tonight. The site I was using crashed earlier.
