To be honest, there was plenty of banter on this trip about KTM vs Yamaha. All in good spirit and no one was ever offended in the making of this trip  :ricky: Each of us gave the others something to laugh at by toppling over or making mistake in a tricky situation. Even [member=8876]2StrokeDan[/member] shouted "Kadwaa!!" when the T7 bottomed out on an obstacle :ricky: :ricky: :3some:
[member=14709]chopper pilot[/member] and I had a flippen awesome ride off the mountain from Serala, sliding into corners side by side at considerable speed and never did it turn into a race where one had to be in front of the other. Similar ride with [member=24722]malmens gerrit[/member] towards Heanertsburg, riding neck & neck at breakneck speed.  It was awesome fun! In the end it doesn't matter what you ride, it's being part of a ride like this that is special!

Enough soppy stuff! [member=7804]Amsterdam[/member] [member=14709]chopper pilot[/member] [member=10935]BuRP[/member] , load your pics on Google photos so we can continue with this RR! :pot:
 
Our destination on Day 1 was Joe & Ruth Holmes' Bush Boys in Tonteldoos. Joe is a legend and despite the fact that he turns 70 in a month's time, is still an avid offroad racer and adventure rider, often putting younger riders to shame on his 990!

We dodged the early morning Lowveld traffic and soon found ourselves on dirt. First stop as we joined up with the tar for a short stretch to Sudwala where we would hit dirt again.

Yes, yes...... I know it seems photoshopped, but this is actually [member=8876]2StrokeDan[/member] dressed in FULL ATGATT which he wore for the whole trip :peepwall:

Going up Weltevreden Pass towards Lydenburg, the dust was insane and the guys kept big dust gaps. To be safe, we regrouped regularly as we have lost riders in these forests before.......

I rode back a few kilometres and found Marc and Henk. The 950 SE was acting up....... the first KTM reliability banter shots were fired........

Eventually we had to give up and a friend from Lydenburg, Johan Janse Van Rensburg assisted by loading the bike and taking it to his man cave for problem solving.....

[member=14709]chopper pilot[/member] offered to ride with the Cruiser and make sure Marc was somehow sorted. The rest of us would continue with the day's route and we would all meet up on Joe's farm later.

[member=8876]2StrokeDan[/member] hates water crossings
