[Sheepman]

Enjoyed your report a lot, thanks And, happy, happy with the new bike

 

[JacoScott]

Die Tankwa is nog op my bucket list, ek wil dit so graag gaan sien

 

[Grootseun]

Thanks @Grootseun , good to see you're still alive and kicking.

Long time no see or hear.

Thanks for the RR. The Karoo is definitely something special. Glad you enjoyed it.

Hi Leo,

Wat is die gesegde van onkruid?

Dit is ‘n rukkie sedert ons mekaar laas gesien het. Ek is ook bly om te sien jy is nog hier.

 

[Oubones]

Lekker saamgery en weer ou asook paar nuwe plekke gesien!
My lus vir ry raak nou baie erg.
Dankie

Very enjoyable read. Knowing Grootseun and his English ability quite well, I was waiting for the reason for the deliberate use of “sole” and not “soul”…..

Die bike het wel lekker ge-fishtail op die sanderige dele.

Nice trip report, and nice seeing my old Puig screen being put to good use.

I did come here expecting to read about broken boots. Didn't leave disappointed.

 

[Tampan]

Lekker saamgery, dankie.

Ek hoop @Biesie het nou maar daai ou boetse opgehang en nuwes aangeskaf? Volgens daai foto lyk dit of hulle al hulle kant oor en oor gebring het...

Awesome fotos met al daai wolke. Moerse lekker area om te ry om daai gravel highways.
Dankie vir die deel

Gelukkig was dit nog koel toe julle daar gery het. Ek het al 50 grade gevoel met browns aan in Klein Karoo. Dan is die water in die waterbottel so warm, jy breek die 2lt bottel se prop af, gooi water in, blaas koud en probeer water in jou lyf kry.

Like jou fiets se kleur ook.

Haha, thanks. I must say, I did enjoy the Puig screen a lot. lowest for the slower bits, and all the way up on the faster bits.
I did manage to lose the LHS bolt and knob ( descriptive of me for losing it) Currently a cable tie does the job of securing it. I will look into replacement parts, or just maak ‘n plan.

This is the second time I did it, the previous one was bought in Stil Baai, and I had an awesome three days riding her back.
(My wife is on to me though… se mentioned the availability of bikes in GP. But what’s the fun in that.)
