Buying 2 Jialing 150s in Zambia - looking for advice on spares

Oh, and please, please, please, take photos of the Jialings in Zambia--there are numerous Chinabikes all over Africa, but we never get the owners as members. Oh, and one more thing; I belong to Horizonsunlimited.com/hubb, an international adventure motorcycle group (I urge you to post there with questions), and many members have gone to Africa on large expensive BMW and KTM adventure bikes, and have found themselves getting passed by locals on 150cc Chinese bikes. Many members have given the little bikes 'props' for actually being better suited to the various African terrains than their large 800cc and larger bikes!

Thanks for all the helpful comments. I plan to do a ride report on ADVRider after the trip and will also post my photos here. In fact, here is my first photo of the trip: my motorcycles in their boxes coming out of the sea container in Zambia:

I have ridden on sandy roads with my big BMW 1200GS and my little Yamaha TW200: there is no question which provides the more enjoyable trip. Little is better.

Have a great trip post the link to your RR on ADrider if you can also please could you tell my wife "Little is better." !!!!
