I watched my dvd's that Michiel made about this trip again last night , and was just as captivated as the first time I watched it ! Man if only I wasn't such a kak rider !

 

[hando]

I sat here and read this whole report from beginning to end.

EPIC !

Would love to get a view of that famed DVD. Fantastic guys. I salute you !

 

[Michiel]

Thanks again for the audience  :thumleft: I'm glad readers out there are still enjoying the story.

I am in the process of getting the right hard and software to bring the long awaited video into production.
It will happen, I promise. Will post something here to notify everybody.

Remember this picture I took down at the bottom of that valley?

The story continues...

Now thats nice ! I wondered if that ''Morena'' would ever get her pic . Did you give it to her personally ? Did you go down there again with your bike ?  :thumleft:

 

[Aprilian]

Can one beg borrow or steal a cpy of the dvd or is there one available for ready cash....

 

[ALLAWYN]

Dit is nou die tweede keer dat ek die RR lees, en ek is gefrustreerd hier agter my computer, manne julle wys wat gedoen kan word met die regte "attitude" en deursettings vermoe, om aan te pas by omstandighede en paaie en terrein wat nie altyd uitwerk soos jy beplan het nie' ongelooflik en 'n voorerg om met julle te kan deel, baie dankie  :thumleft: :thumleft: :thumleft:

Just had 2 of the most unproductive days reading this EPIC ride report.  Truly inspirational,  so looking forward to a trip up Sani and out at Matat.  And all the fun in between. 

Well done for an excellent RR

An update on the roads in Lesotho.  A good mate of mine has been up there doing all the land survey work.  The road from Roma to Semongkong is in the process of being tarred, and should be completed during next year.  This is being built by EXR (Ex Rumdel).  The road from Semongkong to Quachas Neck is being done by the Chinese and as far as i know, it has been tarred all the way through.

And another epic is born. Thanks for sharing the great RR guys

Ja was there this time last year and they were probably half way finished - a MAJOR highway operation and a real shame as they have fooked up a beautiful ride and opened the back door to all types of twats and day trippers.  :'(

So ...I have just spent (I was going to say wasted, but it definately wasn't) an entire saturday reading this RR seven years down the line.  WOW.  About that video?  If it is not available for purchase perhaps fat b could give me his address so i can arrange a "collection".  Dude, I'm sure you have watched it enough anyway  :ricky:

Hello everyone. Yes, the years has indeed flown by. So much have changed. I don't even own an adventure bike anymore
but the sweet memories will last forever. It was such a good part of my life and the privilege to share it here.

Coming back to the promises I made in the post quoted: turns out it was a mountain we couldn't scale. Following the events
of this ride report we wanted to make another video, this time with a storyline, in returning the picture I took of the lady in the
valley, Mamponyane. Her name translates to "mother of give".

All dreams that never saw the light. Eight years down the line I do want to share a little moment that really shouldn't go to waste.
Ever since our second adventure I wanted to share the following sequence of events. Lesotho is infamous for its black mud
and here is why. (You got to watch this with sound.)
