Sorry Kobus. We only dawdled into Riversdal at around 5:30 yesterday afternoon...and the people we were staying with already had the fire going for a braai and a whole lot of beers on ice.
 
I also had an urgent "burning issue" to get sorted ASAP!
Normally I never sit on the bike when filling up, but yesterday afternoon I made the lazy-arsed bad decision to do so. Being in a jubilant mood after and awesome day of riding I get chatting to the petrol jockey about bikes in general (his old man apparently had a spotless cbx) , and in the process we forget all about the pump. As luck would have it, the auto-stop on this particular pump was faulty and a few litres of premium comes gushing out the top of the tank. Unfortunately this meant my crotch got well irrigated and as everyone knows, liquid only seems to go one way through riding pants , and that is in.
My f0k! My scrote was swimming in 95 in seconds and it felt 1000 times worse than that time on rugby tour when I accidentally used the wrong hand (the one I'd applied deep heat with) to re-adjust the cluster in my jocks just before jogging onto the field.
The meat n two veg was on fire and I was kukking myself that juice would wash down onto the hot exhaust header and the whole bangshoot was going to go up in flames. I was running around the busy forecourt screaming incoherently like a 14 year-old groupie at a Backstreet Boys concert...save the bike! No wait...get cold water for my balls!...no wait, grab the watering can and try rinse the juice away from the header...nee f0k! Pour that water down the front of my pants!
Sweet Peter! People thought I was mal.
Anyways...no bike burnt out but the fire in my rods was not abating so threw some cash at the malaka who caused the issue and rushed off the where we were staying to jump in the pool asap. Relief does not even begin to describe it

This was the fire at around 12:30am this morning...no meat had touched a grid in anger yet. Adds new meaning to the term "ons gaan nou braai". Eventually got to bed some time after 2 so it was a late start. Tjom sorted his business and we klapped it through SeweWeeks to Laingsberg but we're then too pap to do much more than a short dirt stretch to Sutherland.

Ai, daai ou SP370....

In my vierde maand in die weermag, gaan haal ons natnuwe 370s in n voertuigpark iewers om Pretoria, 4VRK of so iets?, en ry hulle met geen kilos op,

terug na Berede sentrum in Potchefstroom.

Die volgende dag jaag ons op die Potch artillerie skool se plaas rond, en teen n moerse spoed slaan ek n lurker.

Al wat nog bruikbaar was op daai SP was die twee tyres.

Hy was so rond van cartwheel dat hy soos n BMW C1 gelyk het.

Het jy al daai tyd geweet hoe n C1 gaan lyk? 😜

This is where the flat occurred ...wind was pumping and there was no shade. What a kuk job to swap a tjoop when you should be cruising along happily
IMG_20231222_124945.jpg

Anyways... eventually pulled into Orania and was pleasantly surprised. Going to have to come back to explore a bit. Worth it just for another of the best rump steaks I've ever eaten in my life at Op Die Oewer.
Long pull home tomorrow...hope the rain lets up. Pissing down right now

I have never been there either but hear a lot of good. Decided I’ll give it a try and work it into a future travel plan.

I can only imagine how kak a flat is in the heat of the day out there!!

Luckily you are an expert by now and glad you arrived safely in Oranje. Tell me you not still running that bloody karoo 3 on the back
 
How is that AT treating you? I will probably replace my KTM 1290 SAR 2019 next year for either a 2024 model or an AT. I love my KTM, but she can be a bit much to handle sometimes.

I cannot see how you guys can ride the Karoo in the middle of summer. My body was not built for that heat.

Learned the hard way... using an E07 that I'm really happy with on the AT

Loving the AT and DCT just makes riding anything even remotely technical an absolute pleasure. Might not have the power of a KTM or my S10, but more than enough for me on gravel and any connecting slab.
Karoo in summer - I ride whenever I can get an opportunity. Unfortunately I'm a beggar not a chooser at the moment
