The year - 2002 (I think because my wife missed me so much my son was conceived :thumleft: when I got back and he was born in 2003)
The scenario
My best friend is about to leave for Australia. Permanently.
We are army buddies.
I was best man at his wedding (my English speech after too much Dutch courage was a disaster).
I taught him how to wheelie his FZR.
He taught me about drugs (didn't stick), atheism (didn't stick) and living life (stuck)
We were die hard sportsbike fans (R1's) and track day junkies.
We had no kids, good jobs and enough money.
We went to the track, rode every weekend, went to Rallies and partied.
We had a jol, and now he was leaving.
So one evening before he left we sat around a fire, got all nostalgic and decided there and then to get "scramblers" as he called them and go see the Richtersveld.
Like one last trip to remember SA by, to think back on fondly, to bore people with the memories and photos.
This RR was the end result and although the trip actually happened, some parts of the RR are fictitious.
I recently found it on an old hard drive and as far as I know it's never been posted anywhere, so if you guys don't mind I'd like to share it here.
Here be some pics
