On Saturday I did my first dirt (highway) ride since destroying my knee almost a year ago. Sort of a make-up and kiss ride with the XRL.
I fitted a screen the day before and was keen to test it out - it makes a world of difference as I live in the heart of Johannesburg and need to travel almost an hour on tar before I get to see any dirt. Previously my ears would start to hurt on the extended highway pieces. No more.
Went up Breedtsnek and as I stood at the top admiring the view, a 790R came
screaming up from the south side. Good to meet you,
@JK , that bike sounds lekker
The north side of Breedtsnek is in a pretty poor state, doubt any car will be able to scale it in its current condition after all the rains.
It was a good head-cleaner and enjoyed the bike all over again.
Next up -> canals, Jericho and de Wildt.
