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...

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

A magic place I discovered by accident. A tranquil place on a wine farm near Stellenbosch in the afternoon with birds singing and all. Captured with my DJI Osmo Action 3.

The dirty truth about Michelin Road six motorcycle tyres. I previously had Pirelli MT60 tyres on my Honda NC700X and found that they did not last as long as I wanted so I decided to put road tyres on thinking that they would last longer. I was pleasantly surprised with my decision to fit the...

The forest was here, I swear, but has been logged and all that remains is what you see - hardly a tree - not much. Recent rains had eroded the roads and I was in no mood to pick the bike up...
