Saturday at Atlantis (Pics fixed!)

[gerhad]

Me, my girlfriend and three guys went to Atlantis on Saturday and enjoy a few hours there.  The sand wasn't that difficult to ride because of the rains, but there was the occasional fall.



The girlfriend didn'y liked the unstable bike and suggested that she would take the pics 





Now and then it dug itself in with alot of help from MY side, damn!!!



I met  with Danie (1200 GS Adv), Cobus (1150 GS) and Stephan (650 X challenge) 



I had a TKC front and a Pirelli Scorp at the back and the TKC at the front does make a huge difference in order to keep the front stable!



Here Danie is going to the top of quite a steep dune which we enjoyed quite alot!!  It's not nice getting stuck 3/4 up!!!!!!



Here I stopped and the bike fall to the lower side and my legs were to short to hold it. 







Danie on his way up.......



And the photographer (mine!!!)
On our way out of the dunes she had her first fall with me......damn she did good in the sand as a pillion!!



Was quite an joyfull day on the big pigs!  But they can make you sweat when you get stuck on the wrong places!!

Lekker one Gerhard. Respect to you people for riding the sand. I'm pretty sure my bike will have lots of little lie - downs if I tried that!  ;D

Well done on taking those big bikes into Atlantis. I have ridden there many times before and it is not as easy as you guys make it look.

That must have been fun!  I would love to play on dunes like that one day but not with big bikes like you did.  Too heavy for me.

Oh, and she's got beautiful eyes.

 

[ballies]

Die ouens dink mos dis net KTM's wat tires eet....  Die 1100 vat nie groot happe nie, maar hy eet ook ;D ;D  Het eintlik ma net 'n nuwe tire opgesit omdat ek een kon kry.  Die TKC sal weer op 'n stadium diens doen.... >

Looks like you had a lot of fun. Would love to join you next time if possible.

Dont do it! Next thing you will have Tsiklonaut or someone showing you how superior BMWs are, and riding up 90degree sheer walls of sand.
