Yeah, I knew it was desert country. I plan on having a support vehicle as well, although I don't necessarily think I'll need a bus! I also figured on carrying a complete spare bike, by the way, not to mention tubes tires and 4 complete extra wheel sets. I already have GPS, and the Satphone is not a problem either! I know it CAN be done. I'm also aware the roads aren't up to US Standard and know about the Road-trains.
