Tuesday,  Mr T, Ashman and Warrior rode out to Naude's Pass.  (Oh and let me just add that if I spell names or places wrong, do forgive me)

Mr T says it is also a very rutted road and somewhere along his Spot Light bracket broke!

Mr T says that all 3 of them have knobblies on the front and are doing extremely well on the trip  He himself has a Heidenau back tyre and he is very pleased with it. 

Tomorrow they are going to Sani Pass, and Red Adventure is meeting up with them and joining them on the ride. 

So check ya'all again when I get the next batch of pics!

A very good afternoon!  Apologies for the delay in posting more on Mr T, Ashman and Warrior's trip.  The delay ain't from my side!    ::)

These pics are from their hectic trip to Sani.  First up are taken just after they crossed the border on the SA side.

Nice so far.  Tell them to enjoy!!

They bedded down at Woodpecker in Ficksburg. Mr T had this to say about their trip "Sani was bad. Bikes too heavy and road washed away.  That last section of 500 metres took at least 30 minutes.

Well MrT. Judging by the pics you have posted, of the road conditions. When I eventually do Sani, it will be on the 800GS.  Much more agile for those road conditions.

Good to see you guys are through to Fiksburg  :thumleft:

Have a safe ride home now.
 
A coffee stop, with a cooker called 'patience', because it s slow to boil....
