I'm back in Cape Town until Tuesday to hopefully pick up my TRN so I can get my number plates. Then I'm heading up north to explore the Western Cape and then Namibia.  :biggrin: I've been going through my video's and pulled out a few more from "The Hell" : This little fellow was frozen as...

So I left Oudtshorn for https://www.warmwaterbergspa.co.za/ after having it recommended by two separate people. Its really good value for money. I'm paying 200 Rand for a room with a kitchen and I get my own private massive bath with a huge tap for the hot mineral water. So good I decided to...

Thanks man. Really nice to read your post before my ride this morning. Made me extra happy for the rest of the day.  ;D Go for it :) The first step is the hardest as they say. Thanks for your kind words :)   Lets see what this little machine can do. The more I ride the CTX 200 the more...

I finally got through to the Cape Town office about my ANR and it should apparently be ready by Thursday (fingers crossed). I'm going to head back that way over the next few days to collect it. hahaha. That would have been awesome. Wish I had have thought of that  ;D

I'm using https://imgur.com/ for my ride report. Its free and even has the embed code readily available for pasting into forums like wilddog.

Thanks for all the subs and messages :) I will do my best to make a good ride report. I was checking some of my GoPro / camera footage from the hell and I got some great stuff so when I eventually get round to making a video it should be pretty cool too. I'm still in Oudtshoorn with a bit of a...

I started out from Cape Town and headed to Cape Point (see above pic) where I had 3 ostrich's running just in front of me. They can run! Next if followed the coast on to Onrus camp site. Spent a couple of nights there quite bored to be honest. Saw some whales. meh... Onwards to Cape Agulhas to...

Trip Conclusion : 29,000 KM's, 9 Countries in 9 months. --- Hi TechnomadicJim here. I've been getting some help for my trip from you guys and I have agreed to do a ride report so here we go. Time : I have 3-9 months. (I arrived a month ago on the 25th September.) Where : Southern Africa...

Nice! My time frame is unknown :) I'm going to be travelling pretty slow but I hope to be in Namibia by the middle of November. So Perhaps I'm a bit early for you guys. You may well catch me up though :) I will be posting a ride report soon where you can track my progress. Good luck :)

Was great to meet you too man :) Just waiting on the new tyres and I'm good to go on the 2-3 week garden route / route 62 test trip. I'm going to buy my jacket and boots on Tuesday and hopefully the tyres will be ready then as well. I'm sure I will see you again at some point before I head off...

Cool will do mate!  ;D Thanks man. I'm working my way through the ride report now. Really interesting stuff. Gaining some good info. Got your PM and will let you know when I think I'm going to pass by. Very kind of you :) Thanks :) I will let you know when I get to your area. I'm planning on...

Always a pleasure to visit you Chris :) Thanks for posting the picture. I will pop in and see you once I've done my 'shake-down'. I'm sure I will need a few of your bits and pieces before I head north for the main trip. Thanks again mate!

Just got a reply from the AA who said as I'm not a SA citizen a carnet will require a deposit equal to 100% the cost of the vehicle! . I think I'm going to do it without a carnet as Kenya is the only country where it seems compulsory. I've read a lot of reports where people have done the trip...

haha. Yeah I'm not a fan of the mud flap either. I'm going to try and keep it as stock as possible for when its sold but the mud flap will go and the back tyre will be changed for a dual purpose one. Will store them somewhere in cape town for when I'm done with the bike and its sold on. The...

Great :) Going to PM you now.

I ordered the CTX 200 on Friday :) It arrives next Friday from Joberg. Pretty exciting. Looking forward to getting it ready and hitting the road.  :biggrin: Going to do the first 1000km's up the garden route and route 62 then have the first service. Give's me a chance to run it in a bit and...

"poortech" heh. like it. Definitely an idea. Simple = Good. Will do mate! Going to have to start a list of peeps I need to meet. Everyone's very friendly here :) Nice. I actually just bought the CTX 200 on Friday. It arrives in Cape Town next Friday. Exciting stuff! Can't wait to get it do a...

Nice! I'm off to put a deposit down for a CTX now. Pretty much made my mind up as you can see from this and my other thread, heh :) Interested to hear how you find the TTR though. I love the idea of these agricultural bikes for adventure travel. They seem spot on for it. Interesting. Will have...
