The quietness of the Karoo and hospitality of the Specialised Adventures team led to a good nights sleep.
The next morning the work started.
In simple terms, our task during the event is to be prepared for any and every eventuality from a technical perspective.
In excess of 35 Africa Twin Adventure Sports were shipped ex Europe and awaits us in Durban, where we will PDI, fit windscreens, fit navigational equipment etc. prior to the VIP’s arrival.
During the event we need to ensure that the bikes remain in tip top condition, attend to any technical issue on an adhoc basis and perform the services as per manufacturer specification.
This meant that we had to think of every tool possibly required to perform whatever task gets thrown at us.
As if this is not enough, Hardy had to put together a parts list of things we might need on the trip, including all the service items. To put it into perspective, we need to change about 200 liters of oil for the 1,000km run in service.
Leaving nothing to chance, we went over everything once again and did some alterations and maintenance on the trailer, packed the vehicles and ticked off the last boxes on our checklist.
Yesterday and today was our traveling days to Durban. After again making sure that we have everything covered, we set off yesterday around mid day for our overnight destination, being Bloemfontein.
We left Bloemfontein this morning and traveled the last stretch to Durban, meeting up with another member of the Specialised Adventures team (Janco) just after Estcourt.
It was amazing to see how beautiful and green the Freestate currently is, not to mention KZN.
