I imagine you left a good impression of our country with them?
:thumleft: and a job well done from your side in escorting them and writing this RR :thumleft:Nimmo said:Bundu said:Nimmo, have those Germans been to Africa before?

Richard knows SA VERY well and has travelled it extensively
Andreas's wife FLATOUT refuses to come to SA - afraid :-\
Karl-Heinz's first trip
They thoroughly enjoyed our diversity and I think we made a impression on them.
I am sure they will have some stories to tell back home :thumleft:
Will try and get them to add their own views to complete the RR :thumleft:

Nimmo said:Day 1 – Losing Karl Heinz
I had some points I wanted to discuss before hand and mentioned those to all of them - one of them being that you are responsible for the man (read light) behind you etc.
Len left the garage first to get some refreshments they could enjoy along the way.
We would meet him at the Sutherland turnoff. As we started up KH left the service station first and stayed in front, we planned on stopping at Tankwa Padstal so when we got to the Sutherland split I told KH he could go ahead. atch:
Len and I had a word and we started on our long awaited tour. Len and I would take turns sweeping etc. When I stopped at the Padstal everyone was there except KH. He was in front and despite Alfie trying to catch him he went past. Well he would soon see no light was behind him and turn around. :sip:
Check me out doing the math where KH must be by now :imaposer: :imaposer: :imaposer:
As Afrikaburn is upon us it made for some very interesting people stopping at the padstal, :deal: eepwall: none of them KH – he was gone.
Sometime later a cruiser rode in and we asked if he saw a biker – “Yes he was about 80km away”. :eek7: :eek7:

:imaposer: :imaposer: :imaposer: Nimmo, you are a talented writer. Your build-up story leading to Karl Heinz's disappearance made me belly-laugh out loud, people looking at me wondering what is so damn funny :imaposer: :imaposer: Not 5km before turning around, or 10km.......................................80km :imaposer: :imaposer: :imaposer: Never in my life have I heard of a rider getting such a distance from his group without turning around :imaposer: :imaposer: :imaposer: I picture in my mind Karl having the time of his life and not giving 2 shits :ricky: :imaposer:
