??? why is it, that if you want to take your scoot for a spin in joburg, you have to travel 45 minutes, and then only get pathetic little 6 minute rides on almost suburban dirt.....i am so not into that anymore...am i missing the real excitement in joburg...do we have to go to prattoria for some backyard....which is also 33 minutes.....for some mediocre railway track????
this is my ride report...take it or leave it >:D oh, the quarry was tops...pity i could not get in....thanks guys...
 
That's how the cooky crumbles. Luckily us in Pta are closer to some dirt.

so you did!!! i went quickly out this morning..for 2 hours...and again at sunset....again, 2 hours....all i could spare, as i was working....how beautiful the sunset was, swallows diving for flying ants....soft light, just beautiful and peaceful...did you do the run without cocky then?
 
Laurika, where do you live?

Personally I think that 30 minutes to get to prime DS country is something that many city dwellers around the world could only wish for. In the UK, you cannot get to good DS country, it just does not exist.
So travel a few minutes. Go early and be out of the city before the cages wake up. Be out of the city early enough to smell the dew on the flowers. (Then kick up enough dust so you can't smell it).
Ok, PUI, LeonDude out.
:biggrin:

Yes, without his Royal Cockiness. And Fluffing Beer Laurika, does not constitute work.!
 
I'm 2 minutes away from dirt.....not much tar in the South.... :biggrin:

Laurika, Lyk my jy vergeet gou. Hier in Lichtenburg/Zeerust is te veel grond. :imaposer: Toevallig is die jag en skuba ook byderhand en daar is ook nie verkeer.  :ricky: Jy kan maar hier intrek, ons het darem internet. :laughing4:
 
yip, so hoe goed is die advertensie industrie in Lichtenburg.... :imaposer:
