End of the bike drought for Zagser

[hando]

Yep , Anton has a new bike !!!!

We drove through to George Yesterday to go and fetch her.

Lots of photos and a few words in between.

A quick pitstop outside Worcester to get something for the little one to chow on.

Getting all the paperwork sorted out.

The proud new onwner with his new scoot

On the road. In the pics you can see the weather going bad on the way to Barrydale.

Note the snow on the mountains in the background.

The little one was very quiet and relaxed. or maybe he was scared by the ugly bastard driving the car while his dad is on the bike ?

As the rain started to come down , little one was non-plussed and had a lekker nap.

The rain eased up a bit on the way to Montagu

A quick stop to releave the poor ass that had gone 1 year and seven months without a bike.

Last stop to rest the sore butt in Grabouw before we tackled the last little bit home via Sir Louwrey's Pass.

As we left Grabouw the rain came down in BUCKETS. and with lots of fog on the pass we took it easy and got home in one piece.

Congrats Anton with the new bike. May she give you lots and lots of safe kilos and even bigger smiles than the one you had on your bakkies all day !!!!!    :thumleft:

It was indeed a long overdue event, bikelessness is not easy to live with, that I can promise.
Enjoyed every moment riding back, from smelling the pig manure in ladismith to the icey rain pelting down on me from grabouw!
Thank you Hanno for fulfilling the multiple roles of backup vehicle driver, child minder and camera man :thumleft:!
Now to start exploring the gravel road and biking heaven called 'Western Cape'...

Donovan must have given you a very good deal to go all the way to George to buy :mwink:

They say if it rains on your first ride with a new bike, you will be blessed with many happy memories! Congrats! :thumleft:

 

[zagser]

Thanks for the well wishes guys!  :thumleft:
I now need to commute on a daily basis, so that also shaped my requirements a bit.
As you said Len, the 658 was my first real bike, and it introduced me to the world of 'travel gravel', so it just made sense, and this one had all the extras and a good price.  :deal:

Now to start with the farkles again.  O0

Nou moet jy net jou profile regmaak.

F650/800GS  nie F650GS / Dakar nie !!!
