That's a month after the bash... 🧐 We'll miss you, bud!

Thanks Jon! Yeah, I'll look first before I sommer donner in on those tracks. Not looking for an epic adventure, but I do find satisfaction in "exploring" as if I'm the first one to discover something. Self-delusional yes, but fun. :ROFLMAO: Hopefully I'll convince my son to accompany me (he's...

Met 'n Suzuki het jy nie 'n waarborg nodig nie. Hulle breek nie sommer nie. ;) PS. Ek dink daar was 'n issue op van die Ignis modelle?

Chrisl - mens hoor onrusbarende geluide oor Toyota dealers wat toemaak op die platteland. Dit mag Toyota nog in die agterent byt. Ek het nog altyd die Toyota-tax regverdig met die redenasie dat mens ekstra betaal sodat Toyota die infrastruktuur kan onderhou reg oor die land. Diens-sentrums en...

@JonW I notice on Google Earth that there are a number of little 2-spoor tracks heading off the entry road to Zingela. See the orange tracks below. Are those open to explore, or private? Would they be OK for a weekend warrior on a big bike (e.g. S10)? :ROFLMAO: Thinking of wasting time...

Ooo - daai lyk na 'n goeie rede vir 'n rondryery!

Sny so gleufie in die lengte van die bout af met 'n Dremel. Dan gom jy 'n stukkie koperdraad in die gleufie met die rooi loctite. Dan het jy Copper Nonslip. Die rooi loctite sal die bout mooi vashou, en as jy dit moet losdraai dan kom die coppaslip tot jou redding. Siedaar!

Also a more vernacular version, which I prefer: katlagters.

Ja Louis. Ek ondersteeun ook graag my plaaslike winkels en verskaffers - dis nou plaaslik soos ek ken die mense en hulle ken my. Maar andersins is dit soos die verduideliking wat ek so ruk terug in 'n boek gelees het: probleme kan 'n "my probleem" of 'n "hulle probleem" wees. Wat ek ookal vir...

Also on the frame. This baby is very far from 0 km....

I eventually got the wildcat ("Duster") to come and lie down next to me on the sofa. But you still couldn't "pet" it... Luckily I love the independent nature of cats. That and their natural grace and athleticism make them special to me. Not to mention their supernatural abilities - I'm convinced...

Go catch one of the kittens and try and tame it... I dare you. 😈 :ROFLMAO: PS. I had one in Tanzania. Always told visitors to not try and pet the cat. While starting to get the merthiolate and and some band-aids ready. Coz people don't listen...

The Afrikaans name for these raucous birds is very apt...

We also came 2-up on the STEN a couple of years back. Not difficult, but a bit rough. The bashplate needed a bit of panelbeating afterwards. Without it I could have had some damage to engine. But not really white-knuckle stuff. This year I'll be coming on my own, with light luggage, and am...

Yes, the road doesn't show up on the usual maps. I traced it using google earth. There are ways and means to get it into a GPS. Funny thing is, it is more of a road than quite a few "tracks" shown on the usual navigating maps. The last third is really scenic, with a fair bit of game. So take...

Sien, ek is seker ons kan 'n bike-based pub crawl organiseer in die area. PS. Net nie Clarens of enige van die ander tourist traps nie... 🫣 Soek "local flavour". Shebeens kan ook lekker wees. 😁

So, instead of a serious rough ride, why don't we just do a dawdle around from country pub to suipplek? When the owners start calling ahead to the next pub to warn them, we can think of going back to camp. Petri, it seems you know most of these places, so howsabout that?

At least I can still see my toes... :ROFLMAO:

Will you be taking a couple of weeks off? ;)
