Enduro Africa 2007

Simon Stokes is going to ride a motorbike 2,500km across Africa, to raise money for *Riders for Health* charity. The donations will provide a motorbike and training for the charity that distributes aid and medicine to Africa's most difficult areas to reach. Each motorbike saves an estimated 20,000 lives. This blog is a commentary of my epic journey to (and then through) Africa, for all the right reasons...

From nuts to bikes... will it work?


Next hair-brained scheme... (Hair-brained... what's that all about).

Well, we're going to swap a common nut (metal, not pea) for a brand new motorbike.

Remember red paper clip man... the genius of Kyle MacDonald and his ability to swap a red paperclip for a house? So I have one shiny nut that I would like to swap for something valuable.

If you have something, anything, please post a comment (click the 'comments' link below), offering your swap and I'll let you know which one I choose. And so on. And so on. Let the trade begin. [And please, please spread the word!]

Come on, you've gotta have something more valuable than a nut.

What size nut? Metric or Imperial?

The nut is a 4mm metric standard-screw nut... good for small toys, household items and small machines. Brand new, never been screwed.
