Wheelies is one of the main reasons I still won't own an adventure bike. Apart from the fact that I don't even have a bike license, I will get into endless sh!t if I rode on tar too much coz I'd be on the back wheel every second pull away. My explanation is obviously from a plastic bike...

Thanks @TheBear you are quite right. But when I say far from tar, I mean like this far from tar. Here's myself and the Mountain Goat Nigel celebrating his 68th in style, going up a path where we most certainly won't encounter any cars, trucks, buses, taxis or pedestrians. Only other like...

Eish, terrible video. I watched it reluctantly. It appears to me as if the biker was most probably very inexperienced as he had a good 2 seconds to react, but froze in position. Very sad and disturbing clip, all the more reason for me to stay far from tar.

1. Total number of years riding: First swung my leg over an Italjet at the Kimberley Show in '76 or '77 IIRC at the age of 7. 2. No of falls or accidents that lead to injuries that kept you of a bike for a while, required proper recovery/operations/etc: Very few, but I'm pretty sure I've had...

Lekker Dan, thanks for watching. I've had a few anxious moments in my life, but that one didn't even register on my "skrik scale". On the DS vs Hard Enduro side, the reason I enjoy the Hard Enduro so much is the fact that we ride so slowly, average about 15km/h, so it's much safer. And I'm shit...

Feel free to go waste some time on my channel https://www.youtube.com/@DenDirtbiker/videos Unfortunately no DS videos, at 54 I'm still too young for that, but there's loads of Hard Enduro fun and remember to check out my "Fail" videos. Lots of wipeouts and laughs at my expense. I'm at just...

Somewhere near Mnweni Cultural Village in the Central Drakensberg.

Absolutely, reading the OP's post I did wonder if the fact that Ouboet remembers nothing from a few days before the crash must help a lot.

I've fallen countless times as can be seen in my YouTube channel, but I've been fortunate enough to never be in a serious accident on a motorcycle. But as my name states I am strictly a dirt rider, so I guess that's why. I don't even own an adventure bike, only plastics. I've only ever had to...

Lekker @Tman21 enjoy!!!

Did either of you guys get bothered by anyone when you went there? Apparently we were chased by a bakkie after we left, buy I didn't even see them and I was cruising at the back of the pack when we left.

With the amount of rain we had that day I'm surprised the bloody thing wasn't full of water. :ROFLMAO:

Cool. They're lekker hosts too, the Enduro World EWXC was held there last weekend. I'm sure Mike will have some awesome adventure routes in the area. The farm is proper hard enduro terrain. I didn't make a video, but here's a clip. I'm the oke chilling on the rock at 15:25

Try Mhara Game Lodge. https://www.mharagamelodge.co.za/contacts.html

Thanks Werner, I'll definitely get in touch once I'm down there. It's true we complain about the riding in Joburg, but there are actually loads of awesome riding venues in the area with each place being distinctly different from the next. Thus far my journey to WC is not set in stone yet, just...

Like half of the rest of the country trying to escape the rule of the ANC it's something I'm contemplating yip. I'm not too keen on Cape Town itself, but somewhere in the surrounds there's a mountain farm calling my name.

Kadobhi looks proper, thanks. Overberg looks amazing, but I've ridden on the farms out the back of Bredell in the East Rand and been shot at enough times to know that one needs permission to ride in some places, hence the questions. :eek::ROFLMAO:

Just interested in knowing where the hard enduro riding venues are in the Western Cape area. Also please let me know of any places that are better avoided. How popular is hard enduro down there?

RIP @Splash A true gentleman of the sport. Condolences to family and friends.
