In the top of dad's backpack.

the zipz gets tied down so they can not open or close from where they are. This stops the box from falling out , but allows air to enter the backpack.

Very cool RR! :thumleft:

A husband and wife on a 1200 GS with FS plates passed me and I heard the GS slow down and turn around. They stopped and introduced themselves a Chris and Hester from Vaalpark near Sasolburg. They stayed with me the whole time while I worked in the rain to remove the flat tube and put the spare tube back in.

Weet jy hoe klein is die wêreld? Die einste mense kamp toe reg langs ons die naweek by die Buffalo. Baie nice mense.

Wow tough little blighter that bird is. :thumleft:

Amen!  Thank you for inspiring us.  :ricky:

Thank you all for the nice comments and compliments.

Yes . Doing an RR is hard work. But it is surely worth it. It is a good way to debrief after a trip and it gives me something to come back to and relive the trip years down the line.

Dit was nou uit die boonste rakke! Hando jou bydraes maak van jou een van die mees gewaardeerde persoonlikhede op die forum. Jou naïwe eerlikheid en professionele fotos is iets om te geniet. Hou so aan, hoop om jou eendag raak te loop.

Nice ride you had. Now to start planning your next one. Most of us that actually ride our bikes recognise the great places you have shown us & thereby promting the planning to do another one.
Last year I did  a ride with the thee of us making Sanie as a point to cross & enjoyed it.
The eye candy pics were great that you took.

Since the end of our last trip the planes are being put together for a round Karoo trip in the middle of winter in July. This will give us a different look at the Karoo & I am sure the temperature will say hallo minus some degree every moring.
The Montague pass is one of my favourits due to a stop at Ann's grave & the with the engine of the bike switched OFF I ride the GSA down the pass like a bicycle. Nice & quite.

I also just missed seeing you at Veldbrands place as we arrived there for a quick stop the following day. He has a very nice B&B goning there with the pub & a great view. I will go back there if I pass that way again.

Dankie vir. Inspererende RR

naïwe eerlikheid - LOL. Ek is nie seker of daai 'n kompliment is of nie , maar nou ja. Dis maar hoe en wie ek is.

Dankie vir jou (en die ander) se kommentaar.

 

[Mr Zog]

Brilliant RR, and amazing pics Hando. Well done  :thumleft:

Hierdie keer het ek weerhou en glad nie gekyk voor die RR nie klaar was nie, anders raak ek net moerig om so stuk-stuk te lees.
