Event Bio
Following his fairly epic ride from Peterborough to Japan last year, Bike Magazine's resident (or not so resident) traveller, Jamie Duncan, is at it again. This time on a 26 year-old Kawasaki KLR650 Tengai that he bought for just £1,000 off of eBay.
South Africa is the target, but he's realistic, so, it's probably just as far as he can get. Follow the journey live here and in the pages of Bike Magazine each month.
