Subject: 10 years of Africa Twin, Translation of Michael Selg


Hi ATIC's

a very good friend of me, Rolf Henniges is the author of "10 years of
Africa Twin" by Motorrad 24/98. He is not on the WWW, not yet, but he
followed the mails concerning his topic. He gave the following message
to me to publish it in the @-list:

Dear Michael,

I was surprised, catching up with the translated article in Internet
even before magazins like "Two Wheels" or "Bike" did the translation for
their publication. Well done. Nobody could have done a better job than
you did.

It was even a big surprise for me, getting the job of writing the story.
In the past, I wrote several storys for MOTORRAD and many other
magazins. Most people know me under my nickname "the snail" and
obviously I`m a total fan of YAMAHA`s XT-family.

After 16 years and over 500.000 kilometer of riding wobbly shivering
XT's I took my brothers XRV RD03 this year for a ride and - damn good -
I also got the XRV-fever. Probably within 1999 I plan to buy myself one
of these HONDA's. But - and that`s for sure - I'll always ride my XT
beside.

>From January 1999 I`ll be also connected with my own homepage and
e-mail-adress. Now you contact me at Ralph's account.

All the best and good luck for everything.

year on Australia's gravel-roads. He also provides fantastic slide shows
