Howzit,

I'll start, everybody that was there is welcome to post your pics and comments on here if you don't want to start your own thread. My camara's battery is flat so I will do one half now and the rest tonight, after the bike has been washed!  :)

Myself, Adventurer, Dustchomp, Justbiking and Franky met at the first garage on the N3, from there we went to Villiers, had breakfast there. Now this is when the preasure started. Franky wanted to do Lesotho, me too ut I was a "bang gat" cause of all the snow, the "others" in our group didn't want to and Adv didn't even bring his passport. I declined the notion.... had breakfast..... re installed my balls and said to Franky lets do it!!

So we were off, we had a race against time to get through Lesotho, down Sani and through the border by 16:00, we left Villers at 10:30 had a stop at Betlehem to fix a pinched breather pipe on Franky's bike (lost 40 min) then we hit the border by 13:15. Having Valentine Rossi infront of me was great fun and I can't believe the grip those Heidi's has on tar....  ;D

Any event here is some pics of the trip up untill now:

Again I will have to live the RR though the ride reports....until next year.
 
We got to the border post and we had luck on our side, it was summer and they close at 17:00 at the top and 18:00 down under. So time for a beer!

Had a koue goue and down we went.

We past the same Land Rover twice on the way down, went past him, stopped for a photo shoot and then passed him again!!  >:D
