On my way back to George yesterday on the N2 - 15km before Albertinia, I came upon this "poor" guy - returning from Cape Town to Sedgefield. He just bought this bike brand new from Donford - rode about 300kms in and around Cape Town and was on his way home yesterday afternoon. Bike just over 600km.  :'(
As I've told him - it was not his time and/or he surely can handle a sliding/snaking bike!!!  :eek7: :eek7:
Only help I could provide was charging his flat cellphone from my bakkie and help loading the bike when the AA finally arrived...
(Some of the "string" you see around the tyre is actually wiring from the bike's electronics... Even the pillion seat is totally loose, and many parts are apparently missing from underneath...  :eek7:)
