En Botswana, ek is darem nie een vir oor die grens gaan nie , te veel Kark, en terug na SA is die Noordoewer grenspos pateties (SA kant), die Mevrou met die kort hare speel met haar selfoon (SMS) terwyl ek tweede in die ry staan en wag vir haar om die paspoorte te tjap.(30min.)
Mooi ry verder en ek dink aan julle.

Currently having endless crap for a Turkmenistan visa here so I feel for you. 5 days on this side and being sent from pillar to post. Now trying our luck in Ankara as we have given up on Istanbul even showing a twinge of life or apathy.
With regards your rear Hedi K60's small cracks. Nothing to worry about and is as a result of running the tyre under inflated.
Judging by your load I would suggest you pump the rear tyre to 3.0 bar and the front to 2.5 bar. This will also allow the tyre to run a lot cooler and greatly extend your mileage.
Our current set of Hedi K60's (also on two Dakars) are still from Nairobii and developed a few cracks in Sudan. We are still riding on them +- 8 000 km later and will replace them probably in Azerbijan which equates to +- 15 000m on this tyre, fully loaded and through varying and often trying conditions for both bike and tyres.
Sterkte and keep the SA flag flying
Best regards
Harry and Linda
