OK, I'll set the ball rolling! All Wild Dogs please add your bits  ;D

Ball & Chain, Briv, 2Wiel, Mrs 2Wiel and me set off on an Overberg route that quickly became a chase down to Agulhas to catch that Scottish lad and his mate. We arrived at the lighthouse just before the Long Way Down entourage (they having done some filming at the Southernmost Point).

Every man and his BM was there, lots of people standing around - or on their BMs. Here are some pics:

Here comes Obi Wan!

I felt sorry for them - they got mobbed. Again :D...

Afterwards we set a lazy course through the dirt roads of the Overberg. Some others followed the entourage to Cape Town (please post!). Anyway, here's our journey back...

En route, the Department of Public Works was kind enough to lay on a little slalom and water course for the Wild Dogs:

I will let 2Wiel tell this story, but apparently the rev limiter on the 650GS is a mirror that just flies off...
