Thanks for your comments and message so far  :biggrin: Cool. I will work on this when I next get some downtime. I would also like to document how I pack the bike and my general luggage setup too. I'm really enjoying my little CTX. Apart from the odd highway I haven't found myself yearning for...

Fantastic! I really enjoy seeing the CTX mentioned or out in the wild. There's a guy here in Augrabies with one and we wave every time we pass. I had a look and he's got 30,000 km's on the clock and apart from a rip on the seat it still looks brand new! Makes me feel good :) Thanks very much...

Cool 8) Been learning about a few of the nasties up here from the locals. Thanks! Video frames from a GoPro 2 shot at 720p 30fps. They arn't the best quality but fine for the web. I hope to edit together a video at the end of the trip. I just picked up a couple of new GoPro mounts today. I...

Been hanging out in Augrabies the last few days. The backpackers is a nice chilled out biker friendly place to use as a base camp. I have been exploring the local grape farms and getting a few things sorted. Yesterday I  drove a big loop to Riemvasmaak. There's some great 4x4 off roading to be...

From Elands bay I just headed north to see where I would end. Garies was where I decided I had done enough km's for the day. I stayed in a nice cheap self catering apartment for 280 rand. The next morning I decided to do the same and drove through Springbok which seemed like a nice place. I...

hahah wow. Its a small world!

Cooool :) --- I just created a new thread about the app I use for navigation. Its posted here if anyone fancied a read : Open Street Maps for Android (OSMAnd) I've been contributing back to the open street map project as I find useful things like petrol stations not listed or off road...

I just did a search and found only one tiny mention of this GREAT app. It's what I use as my GPS app on my Nexus 4 Android phone. Basically there isn't much this app can't do. It uses offline maps so you DONT require an internet connection. Download the maps before you go and then you have all...

Nice one thanks! I've added those recommendations to my GPS. Will name drop you too :) I also found some of enduro nambia's itinerary's here : https://www.enduro-namibia.com/toffer.html will come in useful as a rough guide. The CTX 200 only has an 8.5 litre tank and I'm getting up to about 25...

Awesome! I like the look of that. Added to the GPS. Thanks!

I should have headed that way out of Cederberg. Oh well. I guess I will have to do it another time. Thanks for the tip anyway. :)

Just an update. No pics. I'm not finding too much interesting stuff to see or do the last couple of days. From Clanwilliam I decided to head to Elands Bay to get away from the heat. I passed "The Dunes" and thought I would have a gander but dropped the bike on the sand on the way so decided it...

Great weekend! Many thanks to Gerrit and Chantel for all the hard work that made it possible. You two made me feel really welcome and the food was great. Thanks! It was also great to meet up with all you wild dog's too. Thanks for all the chat's and advice! I have posted up my pictures from...

You too man :) Drive safe! Great to see you guys too. Thanks for taking me out on a drive. Was an awesome weekend! Entering Cerderberg : Went for a really cool ride with MissM + Monkeyboy and saw some impressive bushman paintings : Messing around with MissM :) : Spit Braai...

Thanks. I just called them to confirm. See you later :)

Looking forward to it. I'm going to drive up today and make it a 2 day thing :) Hope its OK to just rock up ?

Yes :) I hope to make it. Just made a post in the thread. Hopefully if everything goes to plan I will see you and Mark there :)

Radioman put me on to this today. Sounds great! I hope to be up that way by that time if all goes to plan.  I don't have means to get a deposit to you but would like to rock up and camp if possible ? :thumleft:

Still waiting for Honda to sort my number plate out. "Africa Time" again... I also met RadioMan this morning for coffee. He's been riding around the world for a while now. You can follow his ride report on advrider here. Here's a pic we took at the waterfront by the giant globe : Thanks. I...

I got my TRN at last! Had to hang around in the civic centre for a couple of hours while they processed it. Why it took 4 weeks I have no idea. I hassled them by phone, email and in person over the last week which is why I think they eventually sorted it. Honda now have a copy so I can get my...
