    Down on the farm with the Bushlander

    @Dorsland HEY! Nice to see you again and doing well in spite of persecution all around. And with a lekker dog at your side again. A famous book called The Holy Bible says: "We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck...

    My deepest condolences on the loss of his boy. I won't even pretend to know what that feels like.

    I don't blame him at all. looking at the vitriol found in other threads on this forum, I also "Don't come around here no more".

    Sadly I don't own a Xaar anymore. I have a Tiger 800XC. Maybe we do an Allesfest!

    I agree. I wonder if, or more likely where we might have crossed over. There were a few places where I saw other guys on the route and thought to myself "That looks like a Saffa". We tend to get around. What was your favourite part? I think mine was the Gata loops, The ride from Panggong to...

    It's a very special experience. I cannot overstate how all of us agreed that the best part was the people. Another word about the cost: I am sure that this ride could be done for 3000 EUR and maybe even less. We found India to be very cheap as far as accommodation, eating and renting bikes is...

    Immediately apparent that we were at 300 meters again, the green trees of Shakti up ahead. This was at the bottom of the pass, which had excellent roads and we all enjoyed speed and many, many curves all the way down. Pretty little towns dot the landscape and always the coloured flags...

    The second last day of the ride was a trip to Turtuk. Steve and me decided to stay and chill in Nubra for a day, simply because we knew it was all tar and "an easy ride". As it turned out, it was not as easy as implied, simply because the most disastrous event of the ride took place.. Sandro...

    Every morning we were greeted with a little note on the doorstep. "Jullay" means Hello, goodbye, or thanks, depending on the context. These cooking stalls produced the most awesome food imaginable. Indian food is the best. I rate Italian food a close second.. The following day, a ride to...

    Looking back at the road we just came on, you see it was a long stretch of gravel. If you have any doubts, look at the fatigue on Steve's face, It speaks volumes. We were all shook up!! Waiting for the road works crew to repair a section covered by a fresh landslide. When even Manoj and Rob...
