Sani Pass 16/06/2016

[CRH]

This was a last minute decision to go up Sani for the day but it was worth it. Waldo and his wife Sam on a GS800 and my daughter Kelly and myself (KTM990 Adv) met up at the Engen garage in Mooi River at 07h30. Later on during the day Noel KTM 640) met us at Sani Top Pub.

We set off from Mooi River at a chilly 0Deg C heading towards Nottingham Road. When we passed Rosetta the mercury plummet to below freezing point but all was soon forgotten when we got into the countryside.

I will let the photos tell the story and at the end I have inserted 2 YouTube videos for you to enjoy.

Sorry, will upload the photos later

Here are the videos

The road is in great condition and it is not difficult going 2 up. The key is to keep momentum around those corners

Thanks, he is recovering well but the dr's say no kickstarting!
I am at present riding his xl500 but it has no first gear so not keen on doing sani on that!
Might do it during the holidays though!

I also have done Sani twice on my XT500. There is a remarkable power loss once you reach the top. ;D

I had no hassles with my tw200! But I did not do much driving while on top!
Time will tell!

Thanks for the RR.

This pass is still on my bucket list of rides to do. Just hope I'll get to do it someday before it's all tarred out.

 

[CruiserBMW]

Good one CRH. Think I did pass you guys on the way down. Need to do it again with the Camperdown boys and not when I was in such a hurry. Still took me 7 hours to get to Winterton and 9 hours to Clarens on the same day. When we going again?  :thumleft:
