Just stop short of it. You see us Saffers do not understand the dynamics of snow and ice. The moment you use your feet to slow down you get an ice blast in your eyes and render yourself practically blind. My duct tape repaired rain suit did not last though. :lol8:

We spend a few days with friends in Switzerland in St Gallen, a small town close to the border of Germany and Austria. I understand we are suppose to act our age, but we grew up with cold Highveld winters and not this much snow. Now, how on earth can you act your age when a steep snow covered...

Your choices are highway through the entire Switzerland and you pay R450 per bike to be on the highway which is 350km long from on end of Switzerland to the other end. Or, you take the back roads, stick to the speed limit and it will take you a week, no jokes! And then if the mountains are...

We were late waiting for our friends in the mountains and got bliksems cold. So nothing more to do than drink coffee with liberal amount of whiskey Riding in Switzerland without helmets! They would get a serious ******* heart attack. Swiss never do anything wrong. And if they do not like...

Thanks Carrots  :thumleft: Ougat, those were taken with Nikon P7700 compact which can take RAW and is a really tough little camera. I love the small compact cameras, to carry loads of cameras and lenses just frustrate me and I will cry when a R30000 camera get nicked at a borderpost or lost...

Just such a super great time stopping for lunch in the Alps with the cold air in the face and brewing up some coffee with a bit of whiskey to aid in heat generation.  :biggrin: Just about enough wood for a braai

Austria - As we headed up to Germany to store the bikes it was already deep Oct and getting seriously cold. Not the kind of **** we are use to. Locals told us to get going as we have to cross the Alps and if it start snowing we will be stuck in Italy. ******* Stroh rum kiosk was closed...

Friend was suppose to come ride in SA from overseas. He sent some parts but in the end the trip was stopped. I am selling these on his behalf, just to try and recover the cost. The stuff has never been used and still packed the way he couriered it to SA. It is a Mastech topbox with top plate for...
