Unfortunately I don’t have any pics of the hill climb and decent from our trip, I stole some pics from a previous trip.
It is a rather steep, chamfered uphill with many loose rocks
I remember going up, trying my best to stand but the 990 was flung around on the loose rocks and I soon found my feet dangling frantically next to the bike. Luckily I managed to keep my momentum up and reach the top in one piece. On this trip the hill climb did not claim any victims but the stories were enough to make me nervous, even more so on the way down the next morning.

When we reached camp we could not get rid of our bike gear fast enough and climb into the little rock pool.
Whilst waiting for the backup vehicle to reach camp we shared 2 very warm Hunter's that was still in my backpack.

Once the backup vehicle arrived we enjoyed a cold beer whilst sharing stories of bike trips and worked on our tan.

Friday night we all had a great time socializing around the campfire with no cellphone signal or electricity.
The paraffin lanterns provided just the right atmosphere.

[member=217]bud500[/member] flamed grilled us the perfect rump steak and nearly killed a few guys that tried to mess (read "assist") with his fire.
[member=8726]Bender[/member] or rather his alter ego Speswillie ensured that our stomachs hurt from all the laughing.

We each received an engraved knife as a memento of the trip, really came out nice

Myself and [member=6768]Orangeswifty[/member] are self-confessed snorers and decided to share a chalet, slept like babies as neither ones snoring woke the other  :biggrin: :biggrin:
There was a bit of a "Goldilocks and the 3 bears" situation as some individuals went to sleep in the wrong beds  :imaposer:
Being really excited for the day's riding I woke very early. A few others needed to a bit more motivation.

a short video of the first part of Saturday's trip: Zinyala to Tin Mine
The 990 was an absolute pleasure to ride on these open roads
 
Piele song op die video :thumleft:

Het jy video geneem teen die daggakraal pad op in die moepelreserve in na Tinmyne?

Saturday morning started at a frantic pace from Zinyala making our way to Tinmyne.
[member=8726]Bender[/member] got a puncture as soon we reached the first turn-off.
The story goes that neither Bender, [member=217]bud500[/member] or [member=11741]dookie[/member] weren't able to break the bead on the mitas EO7 and that Bender had no choice but to drive in the backup vehicle for the rest of the day, this seemed all too easy and we still believe Bender punctured his tire with the nice pocket knife he received the night before.

It was mostly gravel highways with some nice long turns and beautiful bushveld scenery.
Early in the day I came around a turn and just missed a very large male baboon that was eating fruit in the middle of the road, I'm not sure who got a bigger fright but he owes me a new pair of underwear.

Net so.  Sneeuwitjie wat so klippe skop met haar glas skoentjies.  :laughing4:
 
It was clear from the start that this was not [member=6768]Orangeswifty[/member] 's first rodeo, the trip was exceptionally well planned, we were in good hands.
There was however a slight calculation error..... the SE's did not have enough fuel to reach Tinmyne

I was doing very high speeds most of the morning but was not able to catch Swifty, Johan, Frank or [member=2800]Hondsekierie[/member] on their SE's

Eventually I caught up with Frank and Johan who were now doing 60km/h on a long straight, both into reserve, still far from Tinmyne and trying to conserve fuel.
Frank ran out of fuel first, unbeknownst to us Swifty also ran out of fuel about 4km ahead of us. Johan limped about 10km to the garage and his tank dried up a few hundred meters short so he had to push. I still had lots of fuel and would have assisted but was still waiting at the previous turnoff for the other 6 bikes that were supposed to meet us at Tinmyne. Frank and myself keeping each other company by explaining to one another just how thirsty we are in the hot sun. 
Johan soon returned with some fuel and we took a well deserved break at garage in Tinmyne
