Ok, me and Dave split the purchases and divided it between the two Red bikes - which were now very top-heavy, with the morning's 2 and 2.3 Bar tyres now on 2.4 and 2.8 respectively on account of the heat! His Skips were full, so his share went into a back pack on his back!! Ideal setup for wild...

After a short stint on the N7 we turned off at Klawer and headed for Vredendal. By now we sort-of had a "plan". Say hello to our old friend "Kleinbietjiewyn" who resides near Vredendal, and then head-up the un-populated West Coast North to find a special wild camping spot - somewhere... After a...

The White one's are not as fast...:whistle:

In Clanwilliam - after re-fuelling the bikes, we had a lovely brunch at "Die Veldsoen". This was also time for a "Dinkskrum", as I had completely lost me way on the route map... To complicate things further, Nommers had to be in Stellenbosch in 2 days time, but we still wanted to do real "Wild...

After a good night's rest at Oasis - except for some damn barking dogs, it was time to continue and figure out the "complex" route further. We headed for Algeria and then Clanwilliam past the rear of the Dam. The road to Algeria is like a gravel highway, and sadly we found the pass to be...

I don't know how good or less good this bike is, but it sure is causing exitement in the Adv scene!!! If I had 270k lying around - I would have absolutely given it a try!!! If not that good to use, it would still look great in me braai!!!😎🤪

To all WD's!!

As usual we had an enjoyable stay at Oasis in the Foxstrot wooden little A-frames, now with built in shelves and USB charger plugs!!🤳🥳

After the cool-down at Tankwa, we proceeded via Katbakkies Pass - destination Cederberg Oasis... The view from the Top is magnificent - one can clearly see the evidence of major water that went through the valley at the bottom: The road into Cederberg was interesting in some places, with lots...

Ok, Tom just taught me how to properly insert pictures - Thx Tom!! So I've altered the RR a bit luckily without mixing-up everything too much...😵‍💫 With the rest of it I'll try to improve...🥸

After a meal at a busy Touwsriver Steers, we headed out towards Tankwa Padstal. As we approaced the R355 T between Ceres and Calvinia, it became more and more evident that this area was hit by HUGE water!!! The Roads Dept already tried to do basic repairs here and there. It was strange to see...

Monday morning - aftèr some research - we decide to take the Witteberge route to Touwsriver. We were heading for Tankwa Padstal, not really knowing what to expect with all the contradictory reports ... Nommers had to be at a Wifi spot at 14:00, for a quick Zoom meeting - bit difficult to...

Having a great time at Karoo Plaas...

This RR will take some time - I'm lazy and typing on a Samsung with a cracked screen, looking similar to our route plan... While each enjoying a chocolate Steri Stumpie in the shade next to Calitzdorp Caltex, we decided to head for "Ons Karoo Plaas", between Seweweekspoort and Laingsburg - on...

After an exhaustive life threatening negotiation of George's holiday traffic mixed with Go George kamakazi bus drivers, we hit the road towards Oudtshoorn. Took the first turn-off left - Klipdrift - to be finally and peacefully finding ourselves on gravel! After the blessed rains of the previous...

On Sunday morning Dave joined us from Mosselbay... We were packed to the brim - Dave with a half size Skip mounted on each side of his Twin... The pressure was on me to lead us out of George and into the unknown... I was pretty sure in my mind that we were all going to drown!!

Anyway, inspite of all the warnings, Nommers insisted we MUST ride, and given the severe drought in my own adv-riding career, I happily - although a bit sceptically - obliged... On Friday I received a pic of his loaded bike, and on Saturday he arrived - with luggage for a month!!! While my son -...

Our old friend "Nommers" informed us rather late in Dec he is going to come down from Durbs - with his white AT on the back of his Ranger - Swambo as co-driver... She was going to spend some time with lady friends on a boat at Knysna - and he MUST go ride with his old friends... He should...

And yes, I'm also really glad it all turned out well !!!

Well if you are a reasonably responsible person taking on Bastervoet, you would probably have heard somewhere that it is not a joke, and a no-go in the wet - yes, I have done it in the wet with a Husky 610 and some other bikes in the group like a 1200GSA ... It took 4 other guys - myself...
