A personal touch to petrol delivery – Africa 100 style.
Blog, Videos — By Gobby on June 19, 2012 5:26 pmWhen the Africa 100 team are out there crossing the Savannah, and running on vapour, it is good to know that there will always a helping hand from the local community. It seems that the F800GS in this video clip did not suffer too much from the interesting mix of fuel that its owner bought in individual 1 litre bottles from the crowd behind the forecourt.
Note to A100 team: Don’t forget your sieve (aka = tea strainer). It seems to have helped prevent this rider from getting more than he paid for in his home grown, uniquely packaged, fuel.
As you watch this clip – as the bike heads out along the route and you begin to think the video is starting to going on a bit, have a thought for the Africa 100 team that will have another 99 days, 23 hours, 48 minutes and 30 seconds of more road to watch!
