Great RR.  :drif:

I think I need to slap a long range tank on my DR and take it to Bots next year.

Thanks to the guys who bumped this up to the top of the Ride Reports page. I missed it.

Xpat, that was a lekker ride.  Thanks for putting up the GPS files, the cut lines will have to be visited and i think your Tuli Block idea makes great sense.

Cheers for that

Thanks for sharing

What a stunning RR.  I'm always in such awe of riders who attempt solo trips, especially those, such as this one, that venture far off the beaten track.

Well written, entertaining.  So glad it happened to pop up again as I missed it initially.

WOW, you're riding roads that most of us only dream about. Nice RR

 

[Xpat]

Although I did subscribe to this RR, somehow it fell away, and I have just finished reading it.

The Zim part was great, I love the ad-hoc planning and day-by-day decisions.

The cut-lines and then the Tuli-Block sections I also especially enjoyed. I have done them several times, but never on a bike. This has now firmly put another addition to my bucket list  :thumleft:

Thanks for taking the effort to write it all up mate  :thumleft:

Awesome RR and thanks for the info. The GPS tracks would be great, but your descriptions are also good.  :thumleft:

I thought I would just take a quick read of the forums. I came across this RR and have spent the better part of this afternoon reading it. So much for other plans. You have a great writing style.

Great RR Xpat. Hope to meet you sometime to chat over a beer.

Welcome to the Roll of Honour section  - well deserved

 

[Potas]

Thank you for a great report.

I have been contemplating about whether to go to Botswana next year or to ride the Baviaanskloof , but after reading your report it will definably have to be Botswana.

I will have to step up my ability to ride sand though.
