eepwall: Great review of a fantastic trip! I learnt a huge amount thanks to all the guys on the trip. Had some tumbles requiring good friend’s assistance to get me up and going again. The first day of the trip from Hogsback was for me the highlight of the ‘riding’ trip. Being stuck in Rhodes with an icepack on my right foot, being put to bed by rough bikers and stuffed with all sorts of meds was the part of the trip I will remember for a while to come. Having to leave my Triumph XC800 in Rhodes, driving (with what now will be lifetime friends – 2 Australians and a Durbanite) for 16 hours with an overnight stop in Port St Johns, destination Durban, I arrived back in Johannesburg days later to have my foot x-rayed and stuck into a cast for six weeks. I remember a lot of pain!!

What a magic ride! Such a pity you didn't get to the coast. Hope you're still planning to do it sometime.

Great RR. I will be on some of the same roads in about 2 months, 1st long trip ever. PTA to East london, meet up with other rider, then transkei, natal, free state and home.
