Barberton Sleep-over 26/27 November 2011 Tiger 800 XC

[GIDEON]

Well for the friends that don’t understand the mighty afrikaans. Went to Barberton, and with this trip realised SABI is now second in Adventure destinations. Yes its great but these roads is so long. The area is so big, our own Easter Cape. Between the N4, N11 and N17.
The 50/50 Tires make a HUGE change in the handling of the bike. On gravel it was awesome on tar, well its not the same  >. Next time camping bring something soft to sleep on, bring a camping chair.
Enjoy the pictures.


Well wat kan ek sê. Sabi is sopas tweede plek as dit gaan oor beskikbare paaie.
Die plan en wat ek gery het was totaal anders. Nie dat ek nie my gekose paaie gery het nie maar dat ek hulle anders om gery het.
Wat ek geleer het is die nuwe 50/50 wiele verander die tier TOTAAL.
Bring n kampstoel en n opblaas matrassie.
Alleen ry SUCK, maar as jy alleen ry dont be a hero. Ek sou dae lank getrek en stoot het aan die bike as my ego my gepla het.
Daar is soveel meer daar.
Uit wat ek kan aflei met die paaie is dit alles tussen die N4 N17 N11 en Barberton is n Helse gebied, ons eie Oos Kaap  O0


En nou net foto's vra maar as iemand meer wil weet.

Schweet trip and great Pics!!  :thumleft:

Looks like you were packed lekker light! - Something we always strive for but land up taking some things we dont need - Few questions:

Is that bag water proof? and what Make?
What all did U have in the bag (Tent Sleeping bag? -  Spare T-shirt? No matress?)
Did U also have a backpack? -
What else did you take?

Yes this was seriously light packing. No back pack.
In that bag there was a t shirt (Short and long)
Under wear , tooth brash, towl, tooth paste, Torge, Maps, Tent, Sleeping bag.

And yes it sucked  :imaposer:

That bag is awesome, got it from Michnus gear. Waterproof, dust proof can be used as a back pack or like that.


Next time ill add. Something to sit on. Something to sleep on. something pillow like.
and start with my tool set.

Get yourself a Airhawk seat,a bit small to sleep on :ricky: but will work as a pillow.

Those tyres look lekker.

maybe also buy one of Michnus' stretchers for the comfort and one of those small fold up aluminum 3 legged stools. :thumleft:

Lekker man!! Ons het self laasnaweek bietjie gaan speel in die Ooste en het op 'n vorige keer by Aloes Inn gestop vir 'n paar koues.

Ek beny altyd die Kapenaars met hulle lekker paaie maar hierdie is amper dieselfde of eerder die naaste wat ons sal kom aan dit.

Baie nice Gideon, jy se die bande maak n groot verskil - is dit net jou hantering deur die hoe spoed teer draaie wat nie meer so goed is nie? Dink jou grondpad hantering moet nou gr8 wees?
