Now i meet Ian further down the road and we takes some more pics.
The road to the Lodge.
Ian “Goois” his “Boney” in gear and takes off.
Me I also “Goois” my “Boney” in gear and takes off after him only to hear a strange sound coming from the rear of my "Boney"
I stop and scheme what the hell now, only to find the brake Pad guide screw is missing in action, gone with the wind, "Moer toe" missing, “Huit ge fo.... verloer.”
It’s at this point that I remember that when I changed the brake pads I never locked it properly. So I “Sommer Gooied” some choice words at myself. @#$#%^^%^&^&*& And some more $@$%$^&*%%#$ for good measure.
Ian comes back to see where I am.
I tune him I heard this noise so I stopped to check it out.
Yip he says I heard a noise on your bike when you went passed me but didn’t click about it. HUH!!!! That was about 30km ago.
Well nothing to be done about it now as these things happen
I Makes “Gou” a temporary plan with a Cable Tie.
“Walla” I’m back on the road again. OK OK without back brakes again. (Dam I seem to be getting used to this no back brake on sand thingy)” NB!!! Not recommended for the faint hearted”
Cruise further down the road towards our possie.
Our Possie Canyon Lodge.
The two “Boneys” wait patiently as us two “Ous” is welcomed to the “Possie”
The old and the new.
On our way to the Cottage I does spot this “Ou” grazing away.
Another “Mooi” photo
A Tree
Our “Possie” for the night, there’s “Sommer” lotsa cottages for a “Ou” to stay in.
Kit off all booked in, time to check out my “Boney”
1X brake pad damaged. No choice will have to use as is until it can be replaced.
Mental note to self (Use back brakes sparingly)
1 X Rim bit of damage caused by brake catching disc housing.
She stands alone. “Sulking” I presume as I have not got a bolt long enough to go through.
Next morning I was up early and got some help in the form of a gutter bolt, the only long one they had at their workshop. The Gods were once again smiling at me.
Meanwhile we retreat to our Room and change Sim cards etc.
Whilst this Ou keeps a wary eye on us. He is actually wild, it’s a situation of adapt or die as there has been no rain for a long long time.
These “Dassies” of course just couldn’t care a shit as they frolic around the possie.
I on the other hand is in most “desperate” need of a “cold one or two”.
