With the Motul Tour of Legends less than 3 months away, we were off to Dundee to finalise routes for the event.
@Just Blip It! Picked me up at home early on New Years Day and we drove to Battlefields Lodge in Dundee which would be our base for the next few days.

Our riding buddy Japie was riding his bike from Gauteng. He suffered a rear shock failure near Volksrust. He head back home and took the shock off his 990R.

The climb up in to the mountains is a slippery one with lots of standing water and mud around
