Hy hou van vloek en sukkel.

 

Fair enough.

So their Long Way Up series was bought by Apple, and will be airing on Apple TV+ starting 18 September. Looks lekker, I'll be following. Jut because they aren't riding my type/make of bike does not mean I won't be enjoying it.

Ja, ek wonder hoe lank vat die bike om 'n vol charge the kry....

Remember they could have swopped batteries out and just continued on. Then charge both packs at night.

Or charge on their support crew generator.
