Ek weet, ek weet! Kry 'n KTM!

ek dink nie dis n probleem nie as jy net dit rustig vat nie

Nambia was full of ruts and washes and they caught me out

i was going way too fast ......first day fever probably.....have ridden a collection of GSAs many many kilos with pillion
i wouldnt stress if you going to take it easy

im not the greatest mechanic....but maybe a chat with ur dealer as to recommendation if support required

my mate Leo has had his strengthened....but he rides like a maniac....

Stunning trip, makes me wanna go for a long ride

Thanks for the RR. I really enjoyed it.

I was discouraged from doing that Hoogland road from Walvis to Windhoek. I should have done it last year. Well a reason to get back there then.

I am glad to see that I am not the only one that feels the Sosousvlei has become a bit over crowded and might I say exploited?

Peace & Harmony

Nice RR and the advice Mother. We r going that way in 3 weeks time and will take it easy on the Nam dirt.

GeoffR · « **Reply #58 on:** May 23, 2011, 12:04:23 pm »

Great report.

Pity about the bad service at Joe's in Windhoek.

I have in the recent past heard quite a few similar reports about bad service as well as poor food selection (availability).

Mother · « **Reply #59 on:** May 23, 2011, 03:23:39 pm »

thanks to all for your nice words re our trip report it was great doing the trip and sharing it with u

if you going in that direction....have loads of fun and take it easy....as there are lots of washes at the moment

if u havent been to Namibia in a while i advise you to go ASAP......its a great place to ride a DS bike and the people are nice

and life is short.....enjoy the ride
