ROAD TO HELL - RICHTERSVELD - NEW RECORD SUMMIT TIME 5 MIN 2 SEC- WITH VIDEO

[Ama ride ride]

I will use my 525 to get to the spectator section. :thumleft:

Without stalling and being seriously on the gas I think a sub 3 minute is possible. Progress is only built out of competition, GJ will you be the Le Clos to my Phelps?

 

[Kamanya]

Lets get all the brave guys to put R1000 into a kitty and head up there. Give each guy two runs and winner takes all the money.

Rules are you have to ride the bike up there and it must be 500cc or more.

I'll sponsor the popcorn.

I'll pillion on the back of GJ's bike and we'll share the prize money.

I have pillioned with him before. I'll never do that again willingly or sober.

Only then do you get bragging rights around the braai.

There are lots of big talkers here with incredible opinions - I only know of 8 people who have successfully done it on a bike and 1 other who was literally towed up.

My Angola https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=133427.0 crew have been up there too - somewhat astoundingly even including The Midget - so add 4.

And we did it in mid-December heat so we get extra points. Don't try copy that achievement unless you're fucking stupid - it was absurdly hot - well into the 40s. I must try find the video somewhere - there were a lot of comical moments.

We stayed over at Oewerbos last Wednesday evening and heard about your escapades...... :thumleft:

The only thing you will get if you attempt it on a fully laden panniered up 1200 GSA etc is a Darwin award for stupidity

The rider might make it out on his own two legs but the bike will shit itself at the first big step up and piss all its oil into the earth

It would be like taking a swiss army knife to an automatic sub machine gun fight

There are lots of big talkers here with incredible opinions - I only know of 8 people who have successfully done it on a bike and 1 other who was literally towed up.

Let's organise this and have a full blown fucking time trial - no rules - bring whatever - trials bikes, 2 smokes, rally replicas, whatever you got - it will be entertaining

I will bring a salad and a packet of crisps

Don't forget the zimmerframe and Nik- Naks.  :imaposer:

In all fairness, any challenge on our 1st passage of the RtH should have been done within a reasonable time.

Since GJ and myself went, the 4wheel driveclubs have been building a highway of this section. A buddy of mine's Dad did it in 9 minutes with his zimmerframe in one hand and a packet of Niknaks in the other.

With only one leg.

And no shoes.

But he is a very fit 78. eepwall: ot:
