My second long trip on the Honda NC700x with Michelin Road 6 tyres.
Day one was spent mostly gathering rain in my boots.
I had absolutely no qualms about traction - the road surfaces may as well have been dry, up and down tarred mountain passes, passing slow traffic dodging dangerous drivers on traffic circles on brick paving and negotiating confusing roadways.
My DJI Action 3 Cam did an outstanding job of capturing all the wet action.
Day two was spent negotiating an untarred mountain pass in the Knysna Forest (Prince Alfred Pass)
and further showers on the way to Jeffreys Bay via the Groot river pass through the Tsitsikama forest and the (Closed to traffic Bloukrans pass) with rainwater in my boots.
