Befok dude, befok 
for sure ...
Usually when one reads about Van Zyls is a continious sage of afkaaaak etc, now you guys make it sound quite "not-that-bad".
Is this maybe becuase your weapons of choice was the more lighter bikes??
This makes me lus to go and do it.
We were chatting about it, and although I have never had a big bike (14 so far, 650 biggest, baddest was a KTM 490 2-smoke) I can imagine it to be afk@k, especially if you drop it.
At the end of the RR I'll post a top 3 of most difficult stretches, suffice to say, Van Zyl did not make the top slot, the surprise came later.
Unfortunately, the heavier the going, the less photo's I took.
