Great stuff these prep threads.
we had a buddy on a 230 (or 250 CRF, can never remember which) and he was fine, had a blast.
which is me trying to say nicely: you are over thinking this, just do it

Planning on it.
This is my first real trip since being on a bike. I've had the occasional sleepover trip but nothing like this. Not really overthinking...I think
... more anticipation!- Joined

Dankie maat!!
Ek het hom laas week getoets met my Winburg trippie.
Hy het mooi geloop, geen los batterye nie
P.S. @sidetrack
Wanneer bring jy jou Rally dan ry ons bietjie die Vrystaat paaie waarvan jy so baie hou?

So, time is getting closer
Tell me a bit about accommodation? By the looks of it, if we travel from Bloemfontein, we will first hit Lady Grey which seems like a good place to start.
Any recommendations about where to stay? If all works out we will be 4 riders.
The plan is not to rush so I was thinking we do it in 4 days meaning probably 4 nights accommodation at different venues. Thx

awesome. Bike. Looking forward to reading
Lady Grey has about 4 accommodation spots - all of them fairly good quality, and similar pricing.
So the crew is growing...
So far we have the following bikes confirmed:
-Honda xr250 Tornado
-Hero Xpulse
-Yamaha 660r
-BMW 650 dakar
-KTM 990
One or two still to confirm.
I will just have to sit down and have a talk with the 990... otherwise he might try to take over the show

Ok...
Group has grown. We are about 8 guys going.
Route planning has started. I must say it was a bit of a mission to get the passes connected. I eventually realised that Jouberts Pass is the one that throws the planning off. I found a Ride Report from a website (https://rideracademy.co.za/ride-ten-specific-high-altitude-gravel-passes/) and they started from Lundin's Nek. Made more sense to me.
Plan is then to meet at Zastron to start.

I made some changes to my luggage setup.
Tested it this morning. Due to the lack of extras for the Tornado I could not get a rear rack. Thus my luggage space is limited. Hence changing to the Ubag seup. This way I am able to get my tools and luggage into the same bag.
I'm still contemplating the tankbag. Don't really think I need it, but... I've been reading up on another thead of people riding with their DSLR's. I would love to take my camera with hence the tankbag.

Furthermore, all deposits have been paid. Dates also had to change.... and additional routes
Dates: 8 September to 13 September.
New plan, trailer bikes to Ladybrand. Then we head into Lesotho and spend a night at Semonkong. Next day head out off Lesotho via Telle bridge border post and meet the rest in Zastron. From there we start with the Ben10.
We are 10 guys going.
