Yeah!!! Once again: Thx for the swap! Your XTZ performed just great (y) :love: Actually I seriously considered to sell my F650 twin and get a Ténéré like yours, but the engine of the little twin is so smooth in comparison - and the prices of the XTZ are pretty high here.... Cheers, Hans

Haai meneer, waar het jy Duits geleer? Warst du auf einer deutschen Schule :D

Back to the Roots – South Africa revisited April/May 2023 Part 4 Angie's G-Spot was a magic place to be, but I had to carry on. When approaching Angie's from Knysna you pass through a dense subtropical forest. Towards the north the road passes through a beautiful little canyon, crosses...

Thx guys :) I felt I had to return the favor, since I always enjoy reading your RR's. Besides that - I love to collect WPTs of special places mentioned in these RR's (y) Even after thousands of kms in Southern Africa, you'll always come across gems you didn't know about ;o)

Back to the Roots – South Africa revisited April/May 2023 Part 3 After a heavy bout of flu at the beginning of the trip I feel much better after a good nights' rest in Maclear. The ride yesterday was tough – today 350 kms lie ahead of me. Fortunately the trip to Cradock is completely...

Back to the Roots – South Africa revisited April/May 2023 Part 2 Sad to say, but my brother's health is in such a bad state that I decide to revise my trip completely. No more Lesotho and Cape Town, instead I will only skirt the Western Cape, travel through the Eastern Cape and return to...

Back to the Roots – South Africa revisited April/May 2023 When the plane starts its descent to Johannesburg it still gives me goose bumps. Although I live in Germany for over 50 years it still is my home country. This time I won't be travelling with a 4x4, but once again on a motorbike. The...

Nie ek nie ;o) Ek woon in Duitsland.....

Hi @sidetrack I just rode the Suurberg pass yesterday. Eish! Horror! The first part (coming from the south) up to Springvale was lovely, but what came then was simply crap and in such a bad condition that the Baviaans road seems like a motorway in comparison. The uphill part north of Springvale...

Thx @Puls0nic, not necessary to pay it back. I'd rather donate it to the WDs, but I could also "donate" it to you ;o) Enjoy the Bash!

@Heimer , sorry to say that I cant come. I was stopped in my tracks by a donderse flu with dysentry and the lot. So I'll have to see that I get fot again to ride on. What a pity! I was really looking forward to meet you guys, esp. @Ri who write all the funny and beautiful RR's. My payment can be...

Thx for the info! I hope to be at the WC bash where I might get some additional tips. And that's still 3 weeks to go :) My plan is to cross the Ouberg from Sutherland westwards. Wait and see.....

Baaie mooi fotos! Het jy ook die Ouberg pass gery?

Is that north of Coffee Bay?

Is that the place north of Coffee Bay?

Bugger! I just got an information that they closed down :oops: :(

Oh no! It was very remote.... But they always tried to get along well with the people living in the vicinity, collected useful stuff to distribute among them. And it was also a job generator. Thx Ian. Do you know whereto they relocated?

Did you go further north to Eselsbank or Wupperthal? I wonder how the road will be there.... Eish, bad luck with the punctures and rim damage.

No email response :( I wonder if that backpackers still exists or whether C19 ruined them.....

Nobody around??
