Hell of a nice Chap, a real Adventurer. A solo Rider that sleeps in a Tent no matter how Cold it is.

I wait for them where the Amandelnek Road meets the Tar at the Southerland Intersection roughly 25 km outside of Town. As they arrive my Stepson wants to Dice again, this Time 0-160, standing Start. Immediately the 990 and me pull away and the 990 beats me by about 5 meters. That thing at full...

Jy is oulik, wens ek kon daar wees, lyk na n mooi Omgewing.

Next Morning the Lummels look sad and abused. Luckily I retired earlier than them and after Brekkie we hit the Road. Destination Merweville where our Base is. We plan to ride via Amandelnek, Southerland and Rammelkop Pass.

We arrive at Oasis late Afternoon. After a lekker Shower we head to the important Place to have a few Beers and Dinner. We met a Guy from England touring Africa on a KTM 640 and a Chap from Ladismith on a 650 Dakar who has never heard of Wild Dog Adv. Die twee raak gesellig and the Evening ends...

Tankwa Karoo. So kwyn hulle met die Droogde.

Hulle was 2 Dae terug in Prins Albert. Toe hulle daar in die Hoofstraat afjaag. Bedonnerd.

We talk about our Petrol situation as we only got 5l for the 990 and 2.5l for the Bm and the 790 at Middelpos. The 990 has a Bladder of 6l on the Back and surely needs it. On top of Katbakkies the 990 and the Bm begin to stutter and they share the Bladder 4/2.

Our Destination is Cederberg Oasis, it is going to be a long Day. We travel through the Tankwa Karoo with its Roads that are in prime Condition. We stop at Da Doer Padstal for a Curry Mince Javel and a few Cold ones. The Wind is howling and the Fokol grows 10 M high.

The next Morning my Bike shows it is 2 Celsius and we have Frost on our Seats. I am in a ****** Mood after having a Shower with a trickle of Hot Water and lots of Cold Water. We head out to Bovisrivier and down Ouberg Pass. Bovis Road is washed out but we eventually encountered a Grader...

The Ride to MPos was uneventful, a cold hard Wind was blowing. Koos received us and we asked him to hand over the Keys to the Honesty Bar which he promptly did. We have known each other for a while.

After filling up in Fraserburg we head towards Middelpos and have a lekker Braai next to the Road.

Eisbein, ek het Maandag in Middelpos geslaap. Koos het Petrol vir my gereel, bel net voor die tyd. Middelpos Hotel....0793421035

On top of Oukloof is a beautiful Road to Fraserburg. One of the Lummels decides he wants to gun it and we race next to each other at 160 plus. The BMW is far behind because of the "Dust". We wait for the BM 800 and decide we must have a 200 M Sprint. We pull away, the two Ktm's with way too much...
