Maddy & the Little Tart's SYMplistic rides & general banter

[MaddyS]

I am ticking that bucket list item this year - EC Bash here we come.
And Day 1 I am even travelling through the world metropolis called Hennenman

Why would you want to suffer

 

[MaddyS]

Forget the DR. Keep the SYM and buy the damn BKing!

It is a stunning bike

 

[MaddyS]

That is why I said she should get it.
134Kw on a naked bike should be enough to get the blood flowing.

I'm not that crazy even a 1250 is for the marginally insane

That thing will stretch her arms till she looks like a gorilla.

One spirited ride on that and she will say about a GS: "My feet doesn't touch the ground, but my knuckles do!"

Little Tart and I arrived Safely at Be Human. Totally stunning place. If you're not sitting in the pub having a coke, it's extremely peaceful.

First stop Winnie Mandela (Brandfort) for a top up of fuel for the weekend.


A few kms down the road and heaven also known as Be Human.


There's some other activity happening tomorrow as well. It's going to be a bike weekend apparently

Maddy, your "little Tart", is looking good!

My Little Tart amongst the big boys



I met one of last year's GS Trophy winners. What a friendly giant

All the bikes


And then Salley had the new KTM Adventure R there, totally drool worthy


And of course, I wouldn't be me without a little bit of fun damage

 

[TheBear]

Looks like you had oodles of fun. Hope you learned a lot as well. You must immediately shake your head severely to shake that KTM crapolas out of it!

I learned a lot and got advice where I was doing things wrong on the stuff I was practicing on my own. It was totally awesome
I thought about doing the head shake thing, but after very little thought and after seeing a GS drop at least 5 times (no drops from the KTM side) I decided against giving myself head shaking whiplash and drool further over the bad boy KTM. Please note below as a perfect example.

When a bike falls over, it is the rider, not the bike's fault. Always!

Nice. 5 ugly pics in a row. Next, go on a photography course!

This is the new South Africa, it's never the riders fault

I hear there's a SpecSavers near you. Go get your eyes tested Ou Boet

Anywhere in the world any proper biker will accept blame for dumping his bike, even in this, here Souff Efrica.

Your taste in bikes clearly equal my eye sight.

So you have perfect vision then

 

[TheBear]

*sigh*

You clearly learned nothing of importance. Oh woe is you.

Oh I did. I learned a GS drops fast and hard and in most cases takes 2 to pick it up. The other thing I learned us the KTM is slow to drop IF it ever drops which I've yet to see

Oh, and that your vision is perfect and so is my taste apparently

 

[MaddyS]

Seriously though, the 1200s and 1250s that were there are massive. The tank section is huge and wide. I could safely park my bike behind one of those bikes and you'll never see the SYM

They are all, KTM, BMW, or Yamaha, etc. big boys and not much different in weight and height. You may even find the KTM Super Adventure you are drooling over is a tad heavier than either BMW.
