so it ended up being only myself,silverwolf and organiser luislang that headed out into the muddy wet area that is south of alberton after a week of rain.
a nice mix,a big ktm,a rough looking xr 650 that had no plate no indicators and had ridden all the way from pta to join us and of course my spotless,never ridden hard,pampered,overweight and underpowered dakar.
we all wanted to catch up on a little technical riding, so knowing a few spots i set us a nice little course.
rule no 1.
should have knobblies fitted when riding muddy terrain.
i managed to clear the first muddy river crossing but dropped the bike on the far side.
luislang almost got through, then in a moment of forgetfulness tapped off and got stuck,resulting in him trying to hold his big ktm up with his legs well parted,we wont know until monday if he tore his SCROTUM!
see attached pic.
silverwolf on his honda fitted with knobblies didnt bother to stand up,he opened up and tore a path of mud and shite all the way up the far bank,it must have been luck?
we managed to progress through another swamp that had me running alongside my bike at about 30km an hour,i turned to warn the other two guys to be carefull but the had ventured ten metres down the path and cut out the swamp totally!
we took a trip through a small bluegum forest and topped a nice rocky hill where i dropped my dakkie at a standstill.damn first scratches in 5000km.
about two hours of good fun had gone by when stopping for a water break i noticed that the honda`s front wheel was smiling at me!
closer inspection revealed that the silver wolf had neglected to lift his honda wheel over a nasty rock,the rim was FARKED,
we decide to end the ride there,silverwolf still had to get back 95km to pta.........pity it was going so well.
