As always - Oasis was great, albeit the void left by Gerrit's passing...:cry: It was very quiet before the long weekend... Us and one lonely biker on a 1200GS. Slept in Alpha 1. Next morning we paid a visit to his grave before leaving - his spirit will live on...

Some more images of Wuppertal, with a special boy at Eselbank who had a very bad experience with fire, and on to Cederberg Oasis...

We stopped at the "Englishman's" grave, then we travelled up Pakhuispass to Leipoldt's grave. On the way back we stopped at Traveller's Rest Farm Stall for some local cold beer and other produce... Then it was off to Wuppertal. The remnants of the terrible fire is still visible, but in general...

On Wednesday we left Calvinia, loaded with rocks, wood, bags of onions and garlic, meat and whatever produce Swambo has invested in... Took the Clanwilliam gravel, heading for Wuppertal. The road also exhibits some flood damages and 2 wrecks, one down Botterkloofpass and one near Moedverloor's...

On Monday morning Swambo stayed behind in Calvinia, as I had to do the conference thing for 2 days in Vredendal. Only thing worth mentioning is the awesome view from Van Rynspass over the Knersvlakte...

The section between Gannaga Lodge and Middelpos has quite severe damage in places. Some 4 wheeled vehicles were definelately stuck there at some stage... We gave an interesting local couple a lift to Middelpos, although I suspect some misuse of cheap alcohol was present... Then the road to...

The section through Tankwa Nat Park is smooth going, with amazing old ruiens to see... The final section leading to Gannagapass is a bit rough again. Here we met with an interesting group of Adv bikers coming down the pass, interesting because I think every possible brand was in attendance! The...

Shortly after Ouberg you start realising the true magnitude of the Dec 2022 floods! That beautiful Tankwa roads where we once cruised at 120+, has now turned into a tweespoor/jeep track related affair in many places. You seldom comes past 3rd gear. There are erosion gullies everywhere, and the...

Sunday morning was cold and foggy... We left around 10am again. The sun came through by the time we hit Ouberg's top. The views down that pass is second to none!!! Must say one appreciates it more from behind a bakkie's wheel than on a bike... The road leading up to Ouberg is quite damaged in...

We were booked in at "Blesfontein", 27km from Sutherland on the way to Oubergpass. On the way there, I noticed a substantial increase in flood damages, and one has to be wide awake behind the bars/wheel... It was our first time at Blesfontein, but surely not the last!! Awesome farm...

We departed around 10am last Sat morning from a "hectic" George... Oudtshoorn, and then Swartbergpass. It was heaven to hit the gravel and finally leaving 2023 and "crowdedness" behind. Swartbergpass is in very good condition... Prins Albert we just passed through - way too crowded nowadays! Tar...

This is a RR by bakkie, hopefully it can give some info to Adv bikers about the route. I had to attend a 2 day conference on "Climate change" in Vredendal - so decided to take Swambo along and make it a tour... also to visit brother in-law in Calvinia. I'll leave the Calvinia to Vredendal and...

You fooled me!!o_O My son's suffered the same "issue", but I fixed the issue with a simple re-locate, and it's holding up AND we saved a few grams!😌 He already destroyed 2x rear brake discs too and an aftermarket shark fin, but No other issues at more than 12 000 hard kms!!

Clever boy that!!:devilish:

Excellent idea!!!

Had a look, touch and sit on one today... Honestly I'm impressed! Tad high, but it is way better looking in the flesh than on pictures. Overall impression is "classy" - maybe even more than the Desert X ... The standard bash plate that also acts as crash protection is great - wouldn't even fit...

Ontspan manne - byna 'n jaar terug meer vir die 850 gekry op 'n trade vir my AT... Nou ry ek sommer weer lekker!! Seun sê dit was 'n "ou-man" bike!! 😲

. Ok I'll remove it myself! :cool:

This lady can easily drop her G-... next to my bed! 🤔
