Our equipment


After
 

We are riding on a BMW R1100 GS, model 1995.
The shock absorbers are from Öhlins and a 41l-fuel-tank. Of course we take knobby tires - the TKC 80 are mounted from Egypt on.
Our luggage is stored in ZEGA-Cases. Besides that, we have a tank-backpack Elefantenboy type 407 from HARRO and a big luggage roll, spareparts and a 10l water canister with us.

We take the tent VAUDE Space II Light, 2 camping mattresses, 2 sleeping bags and inlays as well as 2 mosquito nets with us. The light at night spend 2 Tikka XP head torches.

Our water for the noodles is going to boil with a small swiss fuel cooker from Borde. Cooking with fuel means that you need plates and dishes out of stainless steel. We take the cookingset from MSR.

Our camera is a NIKON F5. If this housing breakes down we have a F3 as a spare housing.
The lenses are:
20-40 mm 1:2,8 from SIGMA
80-200mm; 1:2,8 from NIKON
55mm; 1:2,7 Micro-Nikkor Manuell Fokus
Our flashlight is a Nikon Speedlight SB28 DX
We take 250 slide films from Fuji
For the pictures which we put on the webside, we take a IXUS 55 from CANON.

For our Ni-MH-Akkus we have a handy charger from SONY.

In addition we take a travel pharmacy, our bag with hygenical articles and very less clothes. The most important ones are: motobike clothes from Rukka such as jacket and trousers, the 2 helmets from Schuberth and motocross boots from Sidi and Alpinestar.
