The second part was a long sandy section next to the Nylsvlei Nature Reserve. Here you could really start to feel the dry bushveld heat and I was looking forward to lunch and a cold beer.
Johan was leading on the Nylsvlei road with myself and the rest following, we were at an area where the road was getting twisty and rather sandy. I was having a lot of fun and then out of nowhere came the fallen tree that laid across the road, there was an escape route to the right but I was far to the left and did not manage to get across in time. I hit the tree head on after some heavy breaking in the sand, by some miracle the momentum popped me and the 990 right over and I managed to ride off unscathed. With each bike breaking heavily in the thick sand before the tree it became increasingly difficult for the last riders to manage the deep ruts. Hercules was at the back of the pack and first to have a fall on his 1200 GSA, luckily the sand broke his fall and perhaps some smaller items on his GSA
Not long after we reached Naboom, it is here where the single men were promised that they will wine and dine in the company of lovely ladies at a place called “Sasha’s”. They were terribly disappointed to find out that there were only men working at the establishment.
Its here where we also got to meet up with our backup vehicle drivers -
@bud500 and
@dookie I recall
@Hondsekierie stating that Sasha's have the best pizza that money could buy and I couldn’t agree more as I stuffed my face to a point where I considered loading my bike on the backup vehicle and laying in the back seat of bud's bakkie for the rest remainder of the road to Zinyala.
