BABOON'S PASS 14-16,17,18 DEC

[BiG DoM]

Thanks ESA for the RR link and pics - I now have a better perspective  : but probably no better understanding, mind.

Dit was nou n lekker lees.
Ek sien die grootste issue as om so n support vehicle te kry. Dan sal ek dit ook wil doen, en so what as mens dit nie maak nie, dit bly vet pret

 

[ALLEN I]

Thanks explore. that took a lot of guts glad you enjoyed the ride . thanks for sharing the RR

 

[Ian in Great Brak River]

Well done and the RR was nicely put.

I too have a greater understanding for Baboons now and a good thing no one came to any harm.

[DirtyTeNeReLess]

cool report. looked liked a proper adventure

 

[Jackol.]

Wat 'n report!!! Baie geluk en flippen goed gedoen! Persoonlik kort ek nog baie ervaring om so iets aan te pak. Sal graag so iets wil doen 1 dag.

 

[Crab]

Excellent report ESA, thank you.

 

[Jaakmh]

Great RR!!!

None of my further comment required. Nice RR for sure but the folly of taking a 260kg bike up Baboon's has now been proven without a doubt.

I know the debate shouldnt start all over...but I dont see it as a folly. Maybe if they did not have a support vehicle, but that was not the case.
You accept you are going to have some repair bills, and then have an adventure you will never forget. All good memories come from bad decisions.
I would love to do this, to test my bike and myself to such limits.
I know a plastic is better suited, but thats not an adventure. I wont take a days leave, drive a 1000km and spend all that money to do it on a plastic, but will to have the experience on my big scoot

Best any ongoing debate on the merits/demerits of this experiment continue on original Planning thread: https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=137637.300
This tread is really for the RR and comment on that specifically. Otherwise it will quickly be hijacked again.  :thumleft:
