gin wonder met duur maintenance soos daai dat jy n Honda moet ry nie!!!







just joking just joking! dont kill me!




As ek sou in val op so trip sou Hardy baie vroeer met die RR moes begin het om tyd te he om te dink oor watse mooi goed hy van my kan se!
 
One ordinary day, one phone call …. “Chantal: Hi Annemien, would you like to join us on a tour as a crew member? ”
- I think I fell flat on my face, and I still pinch myself to remind myself that I am not dreaming!

I am extremely honoured for the opportunity to work with Specialised Adventures. I had the experience as a Quest contestant to view this operation from a different angle, this time I am part of the crew, to make this experience memorable for the riders.
I am looking forward to keep Chantal company at the border queues and travelling at max 90km/h to absorb the surroundings. I am already sharpening my Tetris skill to assist Hennie with packing the Unimog.
The tour groundwork, not a surprise, but it is quite an operation behind the scenes to get everything in order. Hardy and Chantal make it look so easy. I want to refer to some well-oiled machine expression, but the feeling/experience you get when spending time with this team, it is much more than just a machine and I will get the non-oil spill brand(s) wrong. 
The one thing that stands out (also part of the Quest experience) is the group dynamics, selecting the crew ( I mean, I still cannot believe I will be part of it) and the riding group itself, I believe they are going to have a great amount of fun!

Beautiful Namibia, cannot wait to venture the extreme terrain of the Koakoland. 

PS:
I think my secret weapon is that I am a cat whisperer. Assuming my main task at hand will be, herding cats. . . .

Welkom Annemien.

I hope everyone has a big appetite for Rehidrat.... :deal:
 
Tell us more about the rehidrate?

we also have a concoction, would like to hear about another version?

 
Just the standard over the counter stuff.

Annemien was a fanatical motherhen with the stuff on Quest.

Keeping the body hydrated is a must, dehydration and or heat stroke is not a fun experience.

Typically, if you stop perspiring, it's often too late in extreme temps, you'll suffer spasms, cramps, etc., and can die.

Even in the extreme cold that I experience here in the winter, one must stay hydrated and caloric intake or the body will suffer hypothermia.

Looking forward to yet another awesome ride report, thanks for making an effort to share your adventures to all of us who are sitting on the sideline drooling.  :thumleft:

One of your trips will be definitely on my "bike-it-list"

Let the adventure begin
 
fanatical:
obsessively concerned with something.

mother hen:
a person who sees to the needs of others, especially in a fussy or interfering way.

:laughing4:

True. And I own it with pride.
