[GlenInk (R.I.P)]

Really well written ! I enjoyed your experience alot !

Thank you for sharing it so well !  :thumleft:

 

[Rynet]

Thanks everyone for your nice comments  :thumleft: :3some: :thumleft:

Ps I must just point out that I LOVE the GS 1200 and I think it is a fantastic bike . It's just for me not being a very strong person the smaller Tenere makes more sense on technical and in trying conditions . For big strapping men with stamina and strength the GS 1200 would still be the perfect bike to have  :thumleft: I really dont want to be thought to be BMW bashing here  :biggrin:

Awesome RR!!! Die harde tye is die lekkerste tye wat mens onthou. Ek het 3 dae vasbyt geloop met gekraakte been, was hel maar ek sal dit altyd onthou  :thumleft:

Hello Renette  en almal een ding wat ek nou geleer het mense praat kak en spot met n BMW of met n KTM da net voordele en nadele n BMW het 1 voordeel hy is kragtiger as my fiets vinniger op die N1 na Jhb darem nog 1 voordeel jy kan hom op sy piston gooi en hom rondspin soos n tol as jy val in die modder...  en die wat kak praat van n BMW kan nie bike ry nie ek my hoed afgehaal vir Renette sy kan ry... By gesê die ander dag by Van der Kloofdam het ek vir Andy660 gevra of hy enige nadele het met sy Tenere toe se hy nee dit is n Yamaha! So voordele BMW 2, TENERE 660Z 100! Ek spot nou Tenere die beste! Padkaart voor my Jansenville toe...

Thanks julle vir al die moeite met die write-up en uploads van die foto's. Dit is nou wat mens noem 'n ADVENTURE! Kon net nie ophou lees toe dit klaar was nie - Bie se report ook.  :hello2:

 

[Crossed-up]

Great stuff, Rynet!  Riding mud like that is truly heroic.

 

[fat b]

Well done guys !
Rynet this is one of the best RR's I have ever read and I felt as if I was really there sharing your pain and joy as well !
mmmm .... I think I may just read it again !  :thumleft:

 

[Gee eS]

Great RR and a wild ride! I still fear the mud Monster, but I think after this ride you are the monsters boss :ricky:
Well done!

 

[capeklr]

Well done, great RR.

 

[Peat]

What a great ride report. One of the best I'v read, awesome respect for you on a 1200 GS Rynet and to you Mark, for your patience. Yes the Karoo certainly had its faire shair of rain.

 

[Mark Hardy]

Respect to you both  :thumleft:

Excellent RR.

 

[Mr. Python]

Hey Guys, an epic what else can be said..
Mark looked pretty pooped when he stopped at our place on the way home. Now we know why..  :thumright:

 

[wacko]

Awesome stuff, great report :thumleft:

 

[ThomTom]

Hats off to both of you, a once in a lifetime experience.  I am sure you both wished for more traction on the back wheel.  for all the other Cape riders out there, the Karoo had some nice rain this year, go out there and see it!

 

[Thump]

awesome stuff

 

[Beserker]

Mud, glorious mud....not, I hate the stuff.

Great tenacity, good on you two  :thumleft:

 

[Fiellie]
