Unfortunatly had a bike that thought it was a kangaroo on the way home - as Rolling Stone and I turned onto the Memel road R722 the bike started missing - checked the fule line and spark plugs and found nothing wrong so decided to limp into Memel - I must admit that the jerky bike refusing to do more than 60km on those sandy rocky roads was no fun! Amazing that a few rides back I was battling to do more than 60 on the dirt now am complaining when I have to do 60 on the dirt 
Arrived in Memel around lunch time and met up with some of the Africa twin guys who moved their bikes around so they could trailer mine home for me - got back to their place the their eager boys decided to strip the bike to find a really dirty air filter which was promptly cleaned and the bike after a few coughs and splutters managed to get me home in one piece.
What a fantastic ride - I have to admit I was really upset that I had to ride back in a car as my weekend had definatly not been dirty enough even with the 100km re-do of Collins pass and wrong road that took me to the bottom of van reenens pass with a ride home in the dark - fortunatly the petrol thing happen 2km form the petrol station
Sorry for having you all so worried!!!

Sometimes the consequences of ones actions are a)unforseen and b) worrisome.
Just had a call from Kim. I quote: "I want to sell my racecar, and buy 2 plastics so we can do rides like Swinburne easy."
WTF ???

Hey all - thanks so much for tit weekend, it was great meeting all of you and Bex and myself had a fab time.
Jules - I think your letter should start something like this: Dear Yamaha..... nice bike.... found a pass on google earth .... met a girl who said it was a piece of takkie ("on my plastic bike" mumble mumble).... sorry about the scratches.. etc
Cave girl - nice pic of you demonstrating the sleeping position of your pet bats (almost). When can i place an order for that home bru?
We must definately hook up again. If any of you want, i can set up a weekend down this way. Just give me a shout.

Oh - i forgot to mention that it took us 12 hours to get home, finally rolled up the driveway at 22H00. Man it was freezing out there, i've never been so cold in my life. After leaving Swinburne we headed off to Clarens for lunch and then a scenic ride through Golden Gate and then a bit of carbo loading at the pub in Winterton (20km from Bergville). I think we mounted our scoots at around 07H00 for the final leg home. Wow, we are bad at this time commitment thing. I can't count how many times we've landed up riding in the dark.
Just Blip It!

Thanks for that as after half a keg of beer I could not have explained it as eloquently >

Jules, where is "road" in photo you use to depict the severity of the ride? Looks good. Got to go.

Yip there were places I was asking the same question
When I said "road" I was going of what Garmap told me.
There was a Jeep that did it so it is a road of sorts! :biggrin:
