    Pretoria to Cape Town and Back October 2023 - November 2023, 8 day trip

    Ankles at your ears? :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO: Drastic times calls for drastic measures! Yeah look I am also a little on the weary side of the dangerous one's. I am learning quite a lot about them but if I do come across a live Cape Cobra, all Cobra's actually or Mamba I might need new...

    Pretoria to Cape Town and Back October 2023 - November 2023, 8 day trip

    It surely was fantastic! Had a blast, you lose track of the day of the week and is truly an awesome feeling! I will probably do it again October / November, if weather permits maybe September. Just want to pass through and see the flowers on the West Coast if at all possible! These solo trips...

    Agreed! Quite awesome! When I bought my V-Strom I was actually looking for one of these and couldn't get one in a decent condition and settled on the V-Strom.

    Sold 2004 Suzuki SV650S

    All good. Look if you are used to ADV bikes it sure is uncomfortable. When I took it out for the 400km run you keep wishing its over unless there are some twisties, that makes you forget about any discomfort. But that said, I commute 20km to work and 20km back, she is a hoot to ride. Extremely...

    Thanks for all the views and kind words! This is definitely something that will stay with me my entire life. I was always to afraid to do something like this and so glad the ice is broken now! Now need to top this and do something bigger!
