Just a simple short ride can turn into a disaster if you don't stay SHARP all the time:

Nature's Valley is a holiday resort and small village on the Garden Route along the southern Cape coast of South Africa. Nature's Valley lies between the Salt River, the foothills of the Tsitsikamma Mountains, the Indian Ocean and the Groot River lagoon. Nature's Valley has a balmy climate and...

After making the hairpin bend and negotiating the twisty overgrown road in this lovely bloukrans pass I paused again for a while by a bridge to take in the natural undisturbed ambiance before heading to Nature's Valley.

After a short but enjoyable visit to my dear old friend and his family in Jeffries Bay it was time to return. Once again I sought out the old route (known as the Garden route - possibly due to all the roots) and was stopped by a nasty road sign (of the closed variety) and had to make do with the...

Day4 Part2 Heavy rains and accompanying floods from November 2007 caused rock falls and damage to the road. The Bloukrans Pass was closed. Traffic was forced to travel on the N2 and forced to pay the toll fee. Those who travelled to (or lived in) Nature’s Valley from Port Elizabeth still had to...

Cam on the handlebar is DJI Osmo Action 3 in hyperlapse 2x speed @ 2.7k Auto exposure, auto white balance, color normal with ultra wide Field of view. Compact and easy to use and ticks all my boxes.

Day 4 part 1 I awoke in Victoria bay under the caring unwavering gaze of two lovely rain spiders that warded off any uninvited insectile intruders.The common rain spider (Palystes superciliosus), formerly P. natalius, is a species of huntsman spider native to Southern Africa. It is the most...

Taking a rest day to explore the Montagu pass and the Outeniqua pass and just chill before the last and more interesting part of the trip through the Bloukrans pass which by the way according to the road sign is CLOSED to traffic. I plan to devote an entire video to the pass. Up next the ride...

One of the early NC 700 2013. Extremely happy with the bike. Got tasken out by a turning car some years ago - bike had a few scratches and I was on crutches. The screen is from PUIG. I had a puig screen on a previous bike and was very happy with it. I do get some buffeting (esp. when riding...

No, Gspot, I just arrived and was lucky. There are quite a few bnb places in the area and the caravan park with bungalows. Just check google maps. Good Luck and ENJOY!

It was nice indeed Mikie, had a nice price to go with it , but Hey, you only die once

Day 3 Part 1 Watching the sun rise over the sea is not something I get to see often- where I live it comes up over a mountain. I made my way to Victoria Bay from Mosselbay where I intended to have a mostly rest day and explore the Montagu pass and the Outeniqua pass. Music: Tricks n tips in a jam

Extracting myself from the superb Seweweekspoort was a struggle but I finally found my gravelly way back to Zoar and through the Huisvier pass where a hot wind was prevailing. I was a little reluctant to let the drone wander off too far as I was in no mood to go mountain climbing disguised as a...

Day 2 Part 1 Departing from my camp site in Swellendam I made off to Heidelberg for a breakfast. From there on to the Garcia pass (one of my favourites) for some aerial footage and to check my old hidden campsite. By then it was rather hot, and I made the mistake of not having any liquid...

Day 1 Part 2 Imagin waking in the morning (as I have done) to the sound of the waterfall and the birds and surrounded by nature - pure bliss, although the table can be a tad hard without a soft mattress. Nope- those were NOT kidneystones on the table! Take flight like an eagle and see the...

Join me on a multi day motorcycle trip in the Western Cape South Africa through different biomes from arrid to tree shrouded, from inland to coastal. And see some occasional animals. The visuals were captured mostly using the Osmo ACtion 3 in Hyperlapse mode - to avoid being boring. Day 1 Part...

Took myself on a little solo adventure on my NC700X in the Cape Overberg one morning after the rain. I had my DJI Osmo Action 3 in its usual place mounted on the handle bar behind the screen, and of course I had my DJI Mini 2 in the trunk for a bit of aertial fun.
