The Bushpig Thumper Bash - Bankfontein farm - 12-14 April 2024 - Two Nights off line! & RR

[petri oosthuizen]

Albei is welkom, moet noem daar is drie sanderige spruit crossings op die plaaspad na die kamp... ligter bikes sal daar beter vaar as ek en my KLR.

Nee o hel, in daai geval beslis die XT.
As ek my bottel brannas moet moertoe val draai ek NET daar om

 

[Grunder]

Menende as ek kom, vat ek Bettie, NIE die Grand Piano nie

Ek sal vir jou die tracks kan stuur van twee roetes wat ek al gery het.
1, die een wat ons die naweek gedoen het
2, ipv draai by Edenburg na Jagersfontein kan jy bly af ry na Springfontein (klein stukkie teer tussen Edenburg en Trompsburg). Van springfontein na Phillipolis weer grond en dan net grond op tot by die venue.

What is a thumper motorcycle slang?


Thumper — A single-cylinder, four-stroke motorcycle engine.

Single-cylinder engines (a.k.a. "singles" or "thumpers") have the cylinder vertical, inclined or horizontal, the last type most common in step-through motorcycles. Single-cylinder engines require both a larger flywheel and a heavier-duty gearbox than multicylinder engines. Small singles are cheap to build and maintain and are suitable as cheap utility motorcycles.

A thumper is a motorcycle powered by a large capacity single-cylinder 4-stroke engine, so called due to the thump-thump-thump sound the engine makes.

Sounds spot on

My bike is small, durable, cheap to maintain and makes my heart go thump!

 

[Oubones]

No ways that I am riding my SR500 around 500km there and back two days later
I want to go, but then I will have to take the good girlfriend( Dakar aka Lazy Chariot) not the naughty SR (Super Ride)

Oops 900kms and 500cc My bad!

 

[Vis Arend]

Ek luister by die radio, sien dis maar 600km hier van ons af. Dit kan net 'n lekker "in-oefening lopie" wees vir ons Mei maand se Nam trip.

Seker maar dom, maar ek verstaan net nog nie die kostes so lekker nie.

My 701 has a large 4stroke single engine, but I have never heard it going thump-thump-thump........

Thanks for your organisation so far, Rob and Roan.

And very glad to see it happening at Bankfontein (remember I was the one who suggested Bankfontein after staying there on a solo trip in October ‘22). Valeri and Joop and their son ((is it Philip?) are very special people, and their campsite and its layout and features reflect that.

Just to clarify, is the food option optional? They are providing braaipaks, right? So for vegetarians like myself and @BiG DoM we would self cater?

The food option has not been decided yet, if we are a small crowd it would be easier to plan. Should have a better idea in a weeks time.
At present we are looking at braaipacks from Barons Butcher in bloem. hoping to get them at a good price.
So if you want to bring your own and are able to do so you are welcome.

Dankie Ruan, ek is minder vaardig met daai goed as jy. Ek maak die kaart oop en trek potlood streep...

Tans is dit net die verblyf, braaipak offer to follow, ek stry now met my slagter. Eers as ek prys vasmaak en idee het hoeveel sal dit deurkom. Ek mik so vir R100 per dag. Onthou ons bly in die bos, so dit gaan eenvoudig wees maar lekker, hopelik kry ons dit reg. ;-)
