Day 6 Our first destination is Upington. The ride through the Kakamas area is at least a lot more interesting than I anticipated. We have breakfast in the Wimpy. A woman overhears (probably listened intently) Sot’s situation with the brakes and points us to a motocycle mechanic in...

Day 5 A bit overcast, but it makes for good riding conditions. The road to the Onseepkans border post, especially once you can see the mountains, is just spectacular. At the SA side of the border, Sot gently informs me to keep my cool – I have an intense dislike of...

Day 4 An early rise to watch the sun rise, and to get out of the canyon before the heat sets in. The rest of the river bed and the exit route is a pleasure to ride. Then it is onto the D316  to Ais-Ais for petrol, more than anything else. The road up to the...

Day 3 The proven joke. The katoom does not start. A call to Adventurer (thanks for the advice!), getting the batteries recharged does not provide a solution. So, after some phone calls, Butch gets sufficiently sorted in terms of outside help. Again, with heavy hearts, we are ready to say...

Day 2 There is a bit of reluctance to leave, it is just such a magnificent spot. We could always stay the week and make up a ride report, complete with photoshopped pics. Back to reality though, the first issue. No start for the katoom. After some fiddling with the battery, an...

What you are about to read is a work of fiction and imagination (except LS being abused by his pink mattress). Day 1 The trip has been in the making for a while, with the usual fanfare of pre-trip discussions consisting of emails, beer, meetings, wine, sms’, beer, women (inserted for those who...

mzee, i enjoyed the interview you had with 702 yesterday morning on my way to work. well done and all the best  :thumleft:

Not suitable for pillion and luggage though. Imo no 650 is good enough for such a load under the planned circumstances. That said, it could be done, but the positives would be low. The ta on its own, no problem. Zonkelnut did some great rides in Nam.

awesome, awesome, awesome! you are privileged! and so are we!

i find myself strangely excited about this!

at last 'after action, satisfaction'!

trials and tribulations! nice one guys!  :thumleft:

music with feeling! nice one, ama!

that is really cool! and the price sounds reasonable as well, mmm...

agree, that pic of the piston sends cold chills down my spine

agree. even though they are a bit more expensive than the richa.

well done guys! always a pleasure to read!

of course, you are now under no pressure to deliver... maybe even beating pfp to a ride report.

no, the 'hiehie' doesn't cut it. to ensure that you don't have to buy a round at kriges tomorrow, make sure that you rock up on the tenere, complete with reg papers in your name!
