I just trimmed my levers for two-finger action… Don’t know if the expensive aftermarket levers make the action any easier…? And, @Kokdjembe , get rid of that switch on the clutch asap - and the cut-out switch on the side stand. Anyway, good to see you on a DR. When I met you at the WARR bash...

Andre, is the carburettored , 5-speed version?

There are more second-hand XR's on the market (presumably more were sold new...), but they attract legend tax. Of course they're lighter than a DR, and that subframe rumour is worrying, but i've never actually met someone whose frame broke on account of luggage. Interesting that in conversation...

The Groot River has its primary catchment in the area north and east of Rietbron towards Aberdeen. If it hasn't rained heavily there (and it hasn't, recently), then the river crossing will be fine. The Antoniesberg's conditions depend on more localised rain. Riding out of the poort towards...

@Ri , how are those Enduristan pannier bags working out for you? What size are they?

that is the infamous "rear entry" ... @throttle jockey did it a few years ago on a 990. Don't know about the landslide affecting bikes, though. @edgy and @BiG DoM have also done it, and will have intel.

it's interesting that there are seemingly many 1150 and early iteration 1200 GS's that are out there , much cheaper than DR's and XR's ... Is this because many more of them were sold; or simply because the big bore thumpers are more sought after?

Those that you have left …

That Grootrivierpoort/Antoniesberg section is so variable - and recent freak thunderstorms have left it very rubbly, especially on the off-camber section coming out of the poort towards Patensie if you're coming from the north... Also, @Psycho Porra, if you're coming from Graaf Reinet to...

What about Honda bringing in the new 125 Trail?

Do these function as saddlebags ?

Did anyone go through that kind of mud on bikes?

There were a couple of women too ....😏

With great interest...

Such a stunner .

Heartfelt...

Consider going via Grahamstown , Adelaide, Tarkastad, Sterkstroom, Dordrecht, Roussouw, Barkley East, Rhodes, Naudesnek, Mt.Fletcher and then onto Underberg, with a stopover in Rhodes highly recommended, and maybe one other en route. That’s all mostly on gravel except for the last few hours to...

Love your style ( of riding and writing). And the photos - artistically conceptualized. You might think you are not very experienced - but two-up on a little bike - you epitomize badassedness!!!

From where?

Me too.
