The test ride - part one... and now part two...

[Garfield]

Yesterday Gavin from Helderberg Yamaha let me know I can take their demo 2014 S-Ten for the weekend  :thumleft:

I collected the bike this morning just after 08:00, Gavin showed me how the settings work, and off I went.

The ride today was about open tar, gravel highways and passes, both tar and gravel...

Hit the tar out towards Klipheuwel, stopping to take a first photo at a familiar place.

Next to the road, this dilemma - eish, I do not think the middle of the farmer's field was part of the planned route.

Then it is over Bainskloof, playing with the various modes and settings as I go.  A quick stop in Ceres for fuel and biltong, then up Gydo towards another familiar place.

A quick bite to eat and something cold to drink and then it is back home, rather briskly.

Tomorrow more time will be spent on the bike, still a few things I want to test and a specific place or two I want to go ride, before I have to take her back to Helderberg on Monday.

Once I am done I might also post my impressions on the bike, maybe  :biggrin:
