I'm no writer so bear with me.

Sunday at around 11, being bored out of my mind, I got on the bike with no real destination in mind. I just had to get out. A short dirt ride should do the trick. So I took Lynnwood down to the R25 towards Bronkhorstspruit & then onto the dirt towards Vaalbank.

Why take a tankbag on such a short trip you may ask?
A 6 pack cooler fits very nicely thank you, with new compressor(must take housing off)
The Red Bull's are for picking the bike up :D :D

Did not even know I left GP.
Did a loop via De Tweedespruit to Zambesi Rd turning back on dirt towards Cullinan. Then Boschkop, Vaalbank & home just after 4.

Did 334km of relax dirt riding on some beautifull roads. I took roughly the same route a couple of months ago but I forgot how much I enjoyed it.
The one bonus of dirt roads is that the road condition changes all the time. :D

Just a note about the TKC 80's. I'm really impressed, excellent in the loose stuff, corners on loose dirt is no longer a butt clenching affair & once back on tar, you can lean it quite far. Only down side is the wear rate. The rear got just over 3000 k's on it & I doubt I'm going to see another 2, the front looks brand new. Will I fit them again, hell yes.
Must learn to have a gentler throttle hand :oops: .
