Race Dog
Hey all
I know this is the Wild Dog forum, but sometimes even Wild Dogs hang up the hiking boots and don some pimping snake skin dancing shoesâ?¦
Like some of you know already, my DRZ got blessed with a pair of these dancing shoes a while ago. Bling bling golden Morad ones with Talon Hubs, to be precise.
So now I have a supermotard version of my bike to spice up the tedious road duties.
So even if this is slightly off topic, Im sharing a breakfast run with you guys that I did a little while ago. All the guys had motards: some DRZâ??s, a KTM 640â??s, a KTM 690, a KTM Duke II, an XT660X and a Husaberg 450â?¦
Im the only one who has brown wings (Stop itâ?¦) so I had my work cut out to stay with these tarmac-only boys. And I didnâ??t do too badly, I must sayâ?¦
Anyways, here goesâ?¦
We all came together at the Waterfront Caltex for some coffee and random shyte-talking:
From there we raced through town, scaring old ladies and children with random wheelies, stoppies and general hooliganism. Went up & down Kloof Rd a couple of times. (The one that turns right on Kloofnek and snakes down to CampsBay High School.) This piece of road is motard heaven, by the wayâ?¦ Just watch out for the bumpsâ?¦
Stopped for some scenic snaps at the top of Clifton
Here is the new KTM 690 SM. My mate Alan is the lucky baastidâ?¦ The running joke is that the bike looks like those Spy vs Spy cartoons in the Mad Magazineâ?¦ We call it â??The Beakâ?
Some more compulsory retardednessâ?¦ You really cant help but ride like a real poepol on these thingsâ?¦
Then burned through Camps Bay Main Rd and onto another great snaking piece of road between Camps Bay & Hout Bay. Had breakfast at Darioâ??s in Hout Bay and took some more snaps of the bikes.
Then we raced up & over Chapmans Peak (scary) and down into Noordhoek.
From there over Ou Kaapse Weg and through Steenberg & up Constantia Main Rd to the big traffic circle.
From there hooked a right and did Rhodes Dr down past Kirstenbosch. (Another very scary section, unless you know it well)
Then De Waal Drive, through Cape Town and on to Link Rd in Montague Gardens to practice some stunting. This is a great deserted stretch of straight road. Just whats needed to hone those hooligan skills
Here I am doing some stoppiesâ?¦ Its amazing how I wish traffic lights to go red as I approach them nowadaysâ?¦ >
There are more pics, but I havenâ??t been able to round them up from the guys, will post up as they become available.
Donâ??t flame me, I still do the off road stuff as well. Its just nice to have the option of changing my bike into a corner carving road weapon when the Dark side callsâ?¦ And it only takes me about 30-40 minutes to do
Cheers
