990 shakedown ride to Eswatini

[Noneking]

Short report of another Swazi trip.
Shakedown ride with @Just Blip It! before we leave on a 2 week trip to Zimbabwe at the end of the month.

Two weeks of hard work on my 990 and happy to have it running well after my inexperienced hands struggled to get everything sorted in time for this trip. Thanks to all who assisted with advice and @Just Blip It! who even got his hands dirty a few times

On my way to meeting Mark on the N4

We enjoy a few beers at the bar and resist the urge to lose money on the tables

Is it my imagination, but is your recent posts designed to invoke jealousy?

How was the hotel? Often look at it as a decent gateway.

Long day in the saddle planned for Saturday. Somewhere during the night a snake saw it fit to seek shelter in my bike. When it got to hot it wanted out and gave me a proper skrik. I may or may not have stopped at this river for a bit of a wash….

Did you notice the snake whilst riding the bike?

Lekker C.
Julle manne is geseën met daai wonderlike omgee.
Ek mis Swazi baie, het op 'n stadium ten minste twee keer 'n jaar daar gaan ry, ek moet 'n plan maak om daar uit te kom.
