Yes! That one works! Thanks!!  :) What I thought before was to drive from Loeriesfontein to Nieuwoudtville, than take the oorlogskloofpanpad, southpanpad, Biedouwvallei Pass, Wuppertal and than down... But I can't do them both... which one should be the nicest (in april)?  ::) (choosing is...

Yeah, I have 24 days in total, but need 2 days for the flight, about 1 for picking up the bike and bring it back. So 20 or 21 days left, so I thought 18 days for driving and 3 days rest in between... with 6200 km that means 340 km a day, I think that would be possible (? you know the roads...

Nice! :)

;D  ::) Oeh, that one looks also pretty good! Which track in Tankwa is the nicest to ride (bikes are allowed in Tankwa, aren't they?)? I just have to watch out with the many kilometers, I already have about 6200km in 18 days...

Yeah, I can read it, but I can't write or speak it. And why should you recommend the west route , is it less boring? (if I want to explain to my family why I wanna go west route instead of the east track :P) Dank je wel!! (= dutch)

That sounds nice! :-) Are there special places which you really have to go if take that route? And just for my knowledge: is it allowed to go along the oranje rivier in Richtersveld on the South African side by motorbike? Because Richtrsvel itself is forbidden... isn't it?

Which borderpost can I use when I take the west coast route? Is Sendelingsdrift a borderpost where I can get the stamps?

Oh, that one looks nice! :) Thank you! What kind of route is that when you compare it with the road east of the N7 (Ceres, Calvinia, Springbok)? You think the east route is nicer? And can I use the borderpost at Sendelingsdrift or do I have to go to Vioolsdrif? Is the track along the Oranjeriver...

Okay!! Thank you! Just started a topic in 'Planing a ride' :)

Hello, I'm planning a trip from Cape Town to Namibia and then back to Cape Town. I would like to drive as much offroad as possible. As it is now, I start in Cape Town, drive up to Calvinia and Springbok, then into Namibia, Ai-Ais, Fish-river Canyon (allowed with motorbikes?), Seeheim, Aus...

Actually it is almost the same... wake up in the morning, eat someting, start the bikes, drive, stop the bikes, eat and sleep.  ;) But you guys live in quite a nice continent, so you don't have to drive that far. ;) But do you maybe have a track of you're route, because it looks good...  ;D Or...

Last july and august we drove from Cape Town back home to Holland (Europa), through Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania, Kenia, Ethiopia, Sudan, Egypte, Turkey, Bulgaria, Serbia, Hungaria, Austria, and Germany on 2 transalps and 1 africa twin. I also wrote a report on a dutch motorbike...

Thank you all :-) Haha.  O0  ;) Last week I bought another transalp (my third. Oops  ::)). It's a bike from 1987 with wp front suspension en hyper pro rear suspension, should be a lot better than the original suspension. I want to build the block from the 1993 (which I already have) with all...

Do you drive with K&N airfilters? Or do you prefer the original filters? They say K&N is not that good if there is really small dust. Should that be true? How bad should that be for the bike? In one alp I've got such a filter, because you can clean it and I thought that would be better on a...

Oh, nice topic. :thumleft: I've got 2 honda transalps 600 ('93 & '95). My brother has one ('89) and my father has an Africa Twin ('95). In july/august we drove with this bikes (I took the '93) from Namibia back to Holland (Europe).  :ricky: I love this bikes  ;D Nice to see they are also...

Thank you, I will do that :)

How many km's offroad/gravel is the route? It's about 1000 km intotal? I'm looking for a trip for next july, maybe I want to drive some of these tracks :)

Hello, My name is Floor and I'm from Holland. Last july I was in Cape Town at the beginning of a trip on my Honda Transalp (and my father and brother on an Africa Twin and another Transalp) back to Holland. (S-A, Namibia, Botswana, Zimbabwe, Zambia etc.) This was my first time in S-A and I...

Hello, Does anyone has nice scenic Offroad routes from Cape Town up to Springbok (and maybe also in Namibia)? I would like to drive there  as much offroad as possible and maybe driving through Tankwa Karoo NP. I hope you guys have nice routes for me :) Sorry if they're already posted here... I...

So Richtersveld on the South African side on a motorbike is not allowed? And how is it on the Namibian side? Someone wrote that's open, is that right? And the Fish River Canyon, is it allowed to go there by motorbike if you come from direction Grünau?
