hi buc nice to see you here too


my fateful clutch-burn day

LOL - what a classic shot!

Small world, Mac.... or is it? <grin>

Still need time to spend more time around here, Hi Buc, (the question remains: Do TKC 80's actually fit on that RT?

Hi, OutDoors Guy, we,ve been to Lesotho two weeks ago and were off to Lydenburg this weekend (Gravel of course)

Some pic's from Lesotho:

will post some more pictures of our ride this weekend later.

Till then,

Enjoy..

what a stunning pic, camo jo.... (the last one)

wow!

Camo Jo............one word: "WOW"

Hi Buc! And Hi Camo Jo! And Hi MacDuff!

Nice pics all. Ahem... of course I took that one of McD - (you should have smelt the oil..... that would have taken your smile off right away......)

Dune 7 guy looks to do the kind of riding I like to do - good on him. Perhaps we will meet up someday

Lesotho is always sweet isnt it? Nice ride. We plan to do the GS Challenge (red routes/skill challenges) and then plop off to do Lesotho the hard way round too. Cant wait.

And then Nottingham Road - thats where I spent the very first years of my life, so its VERY special to me - Salut. And I havent even ridden my motorsickle up there yet....... perhaps if I get me a KTM from Alfie Cox, I will go and tour what I have done on 4 wheels.

SGB,

Howzit - what happened to that 1200? What did the rider/bike do to cause that kind of axident...

I also see you have your bike marked as an S - did you change your suspension?

Kewl, G

2002 - Roodeplaat Dam just outside Pretoria



Xmas Day 2002 - Playing on Brakpan Minedumps (Don't tell my mom she will pull my bout velle af if she knows I played there)



Me and Mrs Maverick at the Elephant rally in Germany...



It was blerrie cold camping in the snow my china's!

Hi there

1200 - Guy from PE and his son - Heavy load, hard tyres, sitting down, hit "middelmannetjie", braked, highsided, then lost control and who knows what happened then. Both had some broken bones, but were OK. We picked up the bike and accompanied them to Mariental from where they were sent to Windhoek for some surgery. We left the bike at Windhoek and Simon took care of the guys and bike from there.

Yes, suspension swopped with a shorter guy who wanted a blue S with low springs...

A few piccies from HoutBay side yesterday with the GF on the back

Africa..... What a horrible place.....

Hey SGB
Do I know you???

I also ride 950......4 of so far in Hilcrest that ride quite often.

Okay I know its not an adventure bike but I'm planning to get a dual sport soon. This was my toy until I destroyed it in the rain on the freeway in KZN.

Damn Noodles! My GF rides one of those on her own.... time to get a bigger bike bud. And come ride with me and da boys

Had a 1981 CB750F before this one. The VFR400 is quick and fun, much quicker than a 650 single but can't go places an adv bike can. As soon as I'm home and settled I'll be breaking the bank again and buy me a new toy. It's my birthday 2 days after I get back....maybe I'll buy me a present

oh I believe that - a 650 single is meant for tractor riding.. not racing. So! Tell me - does your birthday bring a certain ORANGE glow to it????

Hell man, I'd be STOKED if you went that route... DAYAM! And where again do you live? If its Natal, I am not interested cos I miss the place like the daisies and cant wait to tour my beloved birthland on a motorfiets.
