Ben 10 Challenge - Getting high and saying goodbye in the Eastern Cape

[Noneking]

Awesome report, Noneking! :thumleft:

I noticed the absence of the poop-scoop... and all the mud... I must say that without the poop-scoop my GS/A is much dirtier above the wheel (the wheel well?), and I prefer keeping the poop-scoop present.

Poop scoops don't last offroad in my opinion. Especially rocky terrain can easily break them. I lost poop scoops on both my GSAs.  Righard removed his in Fouriesburg after Mike Grimsted and Thomas Bohm advised him to do so in Fouriesburg.

......... and the Beemers look a lot more aggressive without them. Almost KTM ish eepwall:

Until it comes loose or is grabbed by your tyre and wraps itself into your wheel and caliper ...  : :-\

That would not be desireable, no.  :eek7:

Exactly. My understanding is that it is really only there to satisfy a German law requiring a certain percentage of a bike tyre to be covered by a fender.

I concur.....
After watching a mate come to a skidding/sliding halt on a dirt road one morning, and while he chopped and fought with the destroyed remains lodged in his rear wheel & swingarm, I took the opportunity to slowly and carefully remove mine, which is still stowed in the garage on the shelf for when the next owner requires it.....

And now if that had been on a nice twisty pass with steep drop-off ...

Baie dankie vir die lekker lees en al die mooi kiekies.

Voorwaar 'n uitstekende RR soos al jou ander reports.

Sal nou weer wag vd volgende report van jou.

Ek het dit ook al oorweeg om die Ben 10 Challange te gaan doen, maar soos jy, is ek ook vrek bang vir hoogtes.  Ben McDhui spook by my en ek nog nie eens daar nie  eepwall:  :biggrin:

Stem saam, eerste ding wat ek van my GS'se afhaal. My 1250 sin is sommer die eerste dag afgehaal.

Absolutely. The high lying areas of the Eastern Cape has long been a favourite riding area of mine.

Great video by Mr Kamstra! He's got an unfair advantage - those long legs are like having training wheels in tricky terrain...  :biggrin:
