Where has your bike taken you today?

[edgy]

Took a ride out to Alicedale yesterday and great to see that finally there is water flowing into their towns supple...New Years dam which was pretty much empty a month ago!

 

[GeelKameel]

Solo dagtrip in die Boland
Op die ingewing van die oomblik het ek besluit om 'n draai te ry.

'n Mooi koedoe van metaalplaat naby Klapmuts

Du Toitskloof pas.
Altyd indrukwekkend

Die Hugenote tonnel se ingang, met die ou pas daar vêr bokant

Die westelike ingang van die ou tonnel

Baie mooi uitsig anderkant Slanghoekvallei, na Wolseley se kant toe. Grasgroen wingerde.

Die laagwaterbrug oor die Breërivier

Bainskloof, naby die Bushpub
Oral is dit mooi groen en die helder kleure van lenteblomme staan mooi uit.
Maatjies in kleur!

Bainskloof pas is baie mooi ná die restourasie.
Padoppervlak is puik en die klipwerk aan die afgrondkant is al die pad baie mooi en stewig herstel

'n Mooi troppie springbokke by La Vita restaurant buite Wellington

Interessant hier is dat die 12 ramme apart wei van die 7 ooie (en twee lammers). Mens sou dink ten minste een ram sal hom by die ooie hou.

En terwyl ek my verwonder begin die GeelKameel proes hier onder my. En vrek ---- petrol is gedaan !
Die meter wys 80% petrol terwyl die tenk leegloop!!!
Gelukkig het die eienaar van La Vita 'n houer met twee/drie liter petrol vir sy grassnyer.
Hy was vriendelik genoeg om sy regterhand, ene Fattie, met die kosbare petrol saam na die droeë GK te stuur.

Ek het volgemaak in Wellington

'n Baie mooi jakaranda in blom (soos ook oral te sien is op die dag se roete)

In die Paarl het ek hierdie kleurryke winkel gesien en gestop vir 'n foto en íets koud te drinke te koop.

Op die pad deur Simondium het ek die Franschoek Trem gesien ry. Ek het nie geweet hy ry so vêr uit Franschoek nie.

Die mooi Franschoekberge gesien vanaf Pniel.

Via Helshoogtepas deur Stellenbosch, waar ek by Coetzenburg die standbeeld van Dok Craven en sy hond Bliksem gesien het.
Dok sou baie trots gewees het op ons springbokspan, al lyk rugby deesdae baie anders as in sy tyd.

Dit was 'n baie rustige, lekker trippie, plus 'n sonder-petrol-staan (vir die eerste keer in my mfiets loopbaan) wat gelukkig sonder veel moeite opgelos was.

Maar die petrolmeter het aandag nodig

Nice photos. You can lean the bike to the RHS as low as you can and then back up again. This happened to me in Nam and I made it to the next town about 20 km. This trick was told to me by the late Lenny from BMW.

Little ride in Lions River area, KZN midlands.

Thanks for the tip. I actually tried it, but had no success. Dalk was ek te haastig, of nie vêr genoeg oorgeleun
It is also possible that different year models 1150/1100 has different plumbing around the tank

I had the same Mandarin colour 1150 GS. This was twenty years ago so was a lot stronger then and was able to lean the bike down onto my thigh. Only works leaning to the RHS.

Daai skerm lyk soos die wat Bikesnbits verkoop?

No idea. It's quite a primitive thing....thick glass fibre. Unlike the rider who is highly polished

Ah Montague pass, by far your favourite pass.

I really hope they repair it in the near future, its gotten really bad after the last few rains

 

[edgy]

Been a bit wet at last our side

Did a quick loop from Stellies via Botrivier, tried going Phisantekraal around to Caledon, road was unpassible due to recent floods. Did Greyton and then Riviersonderend little N2 and that gravel shortcut towards Mcgregor after short stint on R62. From there Robertson, Eilandia then home via Franschoek again. Started at 0700, bumped into a mate at a coffee shop in Franschoek and lekker chats along the way with locals. 38 degrees close to Worcester, had to stop for the first time and the little shop on Eilandia road got a glass bottle coldrink. Gave the return back and got offered a Wilson toffe. In fact 2 Wilson toffee's. 540 km and back home at 15h30.

Havent done this for ages. Might be the fact that my bike got its 40k service and it feels brand new.

Just out to the West Coast Park for a braai, returned along al sorts of back roads.
Was enjoying the riding so did not stop much for photos.
