So, a while ago we loaded up one motorbike and one stofie and headed for the Timbavati

It was farking cold, was still winter, so we kakked for the first stretch of tar to the first dirt of the day.

With some sand highway just passed cullinun we headed for loskop dam and the to Dullstroom from there. brunch at Dullstroom and on to leydenburg via dirt

From here we took Longtom pass to Sabie, for the next stretch of dirt through the plantations and then to Klaserie via Blyde Rivier Canyon. Got some good pictures.

So it was Rooicharl and myself, we headed off

And then we spent a couple of days drinking beer and relaxing. The we presumed to head back to Pretoria, but on our way to the filling station, I ran out of juice. So did Rooicharl, about 500m further on than where mine did. In an enlarged version of this photo you can actually see him on the next incline, next to the road!!  :imaposer:
