So we have 1….. or maybe 2 beers at Warthog’s. Seriously! We get ready to leave and a small crowd gathers in the parking lot to see us depart. Mostly parents with their little kids. 12 camelman types on their KTMs…. Sorry, make that 11 Camelman types and one guy on a T7…..

As I pull away (in second gear) I stall the bike and it immediate starts falling to the left. No way I can hold it so I just step away and let it drop.

Some comments about drinking beer and riding bikes from the crowd. My fantastic riding buddies (not @Just Blip It! , he just rides off) rush to my side to help pick up the bike. I try to hide my embarrassment by power sliding out of the parking lot only to slam on the brakes when elephants appear right next to us in the road on the way out.

At least I won the BAOBAB!! Game…

Forgot about another little detail about the day…..
@Vosperd hurt his knee the day before and was having a tough time on the bike. He decided to head straight to Kariba from last refuel. Couple of the guys join him.

After our refuel in Kariba, we head to the lodge to join them. @Just Blip It! , @Amsterdam and I just drop our luggage in our rooms and ride up to Kariba Heights to view the sunset.

EDIT - looking at the photos now… we didn’t drop off our luggage
