Ok Ok!
What a jol we had, thanks for organizing the ride Kreef and EtienneDRZ. Thanks for all who came as specially Johan on his red KLR as
for a change I wasn't the only KLR on the sand. :thumleft:
The day turned out to be pretty hot but the dunes were as beautiful as ever.
Tiaan (800GS) and his boy Niel (Dakar) had to leave early as the poor oke had a big flying fall but he took it like a man and rode the beast out of there.
Hope you feel better today.

Hi Guys
Thanks for joining us for an awesome day. Sorry that brunch only happened round about lunch time, but ja...
The day turned out to be a heap of fun with loads of sandboarding (well, not really for the wild dogs, but for the rest of us) and even some hanggliding. Damn, after 7 1/2 hours of fun, i was close to passing out... (average heart rate over 7 1/2 hours = 151bmp. Max = 206bmp)
Thanks Michiel for the pics... next time, try not to take any of my bike on her side...
Niel, keep us updated on the injury. Hope to see all of you soon for another ride!
PS bonova: NICE WHEELIE!!!

Must say that I really like the look of that XC whith the TT tank :thumleft:
I would just like to thank all for another lekker Saturday well spent, and especially Michiel, Johan and Bonova for helping me after I tumbled.
For those that don't know, I was following the pro's through the dunes, going about 40 +kmph maybe a little faster and I deviated off their line by literally 2 meters going down a gentle descent. All of a sudden it turned into powder and my front wheel dug in. I put my weight all the way back, but this meant that the bike followed me over when I went over the bars. I faceplanted and then the bike rolled over my legs.
There was a big dent in my leg where my barkbusters bent on impact to my calf muscle..ouch.
I saw a physio and she said I have split some of the muscles and stretched a tendon. As a result Im struggling to move. Thank ATTGATT. I got hit every place that there is protection (elbow, left shin, left nee, right calf muscle, thigh muscle) If I had skimped on any gear, it could have been a tad more serious.
Another thing is I though my dad had left as he had a function to attend, so I assumed he had gone home. He was actually stuck in a powder sand bowl behind a dune somwhere and could not get his bike out for an hour+. He was then late for his function and raced home. Doing 120kph on the M5 where the roadworks were taking place, he impacted with a brand new merc when a dude with a KTM on the back of his bakkie moved over to block him coming past. His footpeg tore through the mercedes along all the panels, and even tearing the rim of the car. Thank whatever is up there that he stayed on his bike. (his footpeg was bent almost off, but the merc was stuffed, shows you how kak they build them nowadays :-\ )

Thanx to ET for showing me the route along the railway...now I can atleast get there without wearing out the knobblies!
Thank you to all for a great day. I would have loved to stay longer but due to my cold/flue I really started feeling kark round about lunch time...then to top it of I got a flat halfway back along the railwayline in my backwheel. Riding alone I did not feel like chancing a repair in the middle of nowhere (too many skollies) in the sun with my curent state of health. So I rode the last 45km home with a completely flat wheel. All I can say is that the guys use Mich Deserts in the Dakar for a reason. At 80km/h the bike starts to stabilize even though the wheel is flat. I got home, took out the tube and repaired it and refitted the wheel. No damage to the tire or rim and I reused the same tube.
Sorry for the people that got hurt, hope that you recover soon. Next time stay on line...2m of is too far when the sand is soft like that.Something to consider for next time...why was Dakarboy's dad stuck for two hours by himself? Or do I have my info wrong?
