I did this ride on the 13 of October and have been meaning to post the report sooner but November and December kind of got in the way.
I did a solo trip to a friendâ??s game farm near Swartriggens to check it out for a DS tour planned for autumn 2008.
The first bit of sand was just near tarlton ,

From there I tried to get as much dirt in as possible,

I stopped on a bridge some where at about 9 am when A guy arrived on an AT without a helmet???
He had herd me go past and came to fetch me to have coffee with him at his place a few 100 meters from the bridge, so I spent the next hour talking to him and his family. \

From there I stopped one more time at this lekker little river to have a midmorning snack when the loud shreek of a troop of baboons nearly made me â??kak in my brook â??

From there it was straight to the game farm. Where we went a  game ride , the giraffe were not scared of the 640s loud rear end.

From there I tried to do a different route home and after switching to reserve, I juiced up near sun city, then some awesome dirt roads where I came across this youngster riding his Italjet JC5D.

Looking at it, the same motor Fantic and other manufacturers used "MINARELLI" they were great motors all the specialist manufacturers used them, nice one OX...     
 
Can see the little guy had some falls with the scars on his elbows!!  Like your wheelie...
