...and so it came to pass that Newguy, Doerengone, Riaanw, Generaal & myself set off for Riemvasmaak...my old special forces army training ground.
I needed to visit it again to deal with the demons. Next maybe will be the border & a little into Angola. Verstaan jy.
Generaals Vara kakked in Ceres so he was out Bad luck buddy So we cruised onward toward Loeriesfontein on the longest most amazing Karoo highways i have ever ridden! :drif:
Please keep in mind that this was my first 'holiday tour' with buddies. All other trips have been one or two overnighters or outrides + the two KTM RR. So it was nice to keep the speed down unlike getting to & from the RR's which is very pacy! :mwink:
We arrived frikken ampted, hot, dusty & dehydrated in Loeries & naturally gravitated toward the Loeriefontein Hotel for a few well deserved tubes :drif:
Doerengone almost had a nasty on the way but we could still discuss evidence of rare & hardy succulent flora still stuck to his 640 :biggrin:
We were destined to camp at the local sport/agricultural grounds courtesy of our ride Captain, Newguy, however being so hot I had a quick chat to the Hotel owner which put us into his winter braai & kuir area...with bikes :thumleft: Thanks boet! Its hard to stay away from refrigiration under these conditions...verstaan jy :
Some of the local charaters drifted in over time & i understood once again what makes our country great.....brandy & coke Joke....these guys are the genuine article...hard men in a hard part of the country! Me...the only soutie within a radius of 300km's... We got famousy on & a moerse lil party ensued....rehydration you understand..
Guys standing at braai...Doerengone, Newguy & Riaanw
