KAROO AND BAVIAANS TRIP, AUGUST 2019

[Mev Vis Arend]

Dankie vir al die mooi kommentaar.  Dit was regtig 'n lekker trippie.  :ricky:

[member=10343]Mev Vis Arend[/member] - Baie respek dat jy Smitskraal aangepak het! Volgende keer cruise jy daardeur sonder om voet neer te sit :thumleft:

Baie dankie vir 'n heerlike ritverslag en pragtige foto's! Maak my net nog meer kriewelrig om te gaan ry :ricky:

Dankie.  Ek moet net volgende keer in die winter gaan want ek sal te bang wees om in daai water om te val.  Daai water was so koud, dit het my asem weggeslaan.  :lol8: :lol8: :lol8:

 

[Lem]

Niemand doen dit in meer styl as die Visarende nie  :deal:

Julle twee is legendes. Ek leer altyd bitter baie uit julle ride reports  :thumleft:

 

[Mev Vis Arend]

Julle klom nice mense sê die mooiste goed.  Baie dankie. 

Ons leer net so baie by julle, Lem.  Dit is nou veral ek.  Moenie dink daai wheely waarvan Louis gepraat het was van goeie skills nie .... dit was blerrie per ongeluk!  Ek weet nie wie het die grootste geskrik nie .. ek of Bettie  :lol8: :lol8:

Very lekkah route, Arende... you really packed it in over those few days.

Then thinking about Mevrou’s mojo, “mind”, “guts” etc in the Smithskraal crossing....: your hubby is dead right - you’ve done much harder things. As I recall from about a year ago there was a RR featuring your ascent of the old Katberg Pass: well , about a month ago my mate Rex on his KTM 500, and myself on the trusty DR were shocked by the sustained intensity of the rock hopping on that now completely broken road, and IMHO, that is much harder than the Smithskraal crossing.

Either way, huge respect. Smithskraal is a mind game and if you’re on in the moment, it’s a cruise... I’ve seen a few good riders come adrift on those cobbles...

I think my biggest problem with Smithskraal was that I could not see where I was going.

Nope, you lost momentum.  :deal:  eepwall:

Ek hoor jou ma jy het darem baie vinnig jou 250 Rally uitgeboor na 650 toe wat jy anyway van die begin af moes gekoop het. Sommige manne pas maar net nie op n 250 nie finish en klaar!! :deal: :thumleft:

Pakplek Chris, pakplek.  As ek daai 250 gelaai het met Nannie se "sink" dan was daai 250 se gat in die grond.  Die 650 weettie van die "sink" nie.  :biggrin:
