I'm sorry gentlemen. Not a day goes by I do not think of this thread and my inexcusable failure to finish the story. But I have sworn to finish it, and shall, when I return from South Africa. I will be in the Cape for the next two weeks. If any of you want to meet up with a large, wordy...

Hello all, me again. Wife and I are in the final planning stages and I just realized I'm short a place to stay around Gansbaai. Any contacts or suggestions?

Thank you all for the enthusiastic response. I will try and get the rest up soon. I've already got the fotos and video uploaded, just need to piece them together.

That's all I have for now. I will update the rest next week sometime. Thanks for reading!

DAY 2, Part 2 With full bellies, we sallied forth back into the heat. The Road waits for no man. We drove about 10 kilometers down the road. Then we took a nap, because naps are awesome. Then we rode some more. Our destination was just past a little dorpie called Barrydale of the R62. My...

DAY 2 I must have slept uncommonly well, since I awoke before the sun peeked over the rock-scattered mountains. After checking that no wayward snakes had gotten cozy with me in the night, I rousted travis out of his sleeping bag. We feasted on reconstituted eggs and...something (Mountain House...

Night before our tour begins: "Travis, we should probably start early tomorrow for maximum mileage (kilometerage? doesn't have the same ring)." "I don't know. Maybe we should start around nine." "NINE?! THIS IS AN ADVENTURE! WE CAN'T SLEEP IN!!" I think I slept till 9. We left at ten. And...

RIDING. Let's get down to business. The next day--or maybe the day after--We picked up the bikes and headed out for a shakedown run. Up through the norther suburbs, through Wellington, and over the Bainskloof road. The Bainskloof pass road is built on top of an old wagon road. At times the...

False advertising, sorry. I only speak enough Afrikaans to be dangerous. I am an American, currently living in South Carolina where I have lived for most of my life. By far the most interesting part of my life was when I lived in South Africa from 2000 to 2004. I was a teenager then, and my...

Wildwood...Please send me a PM with your contact details.

That would be interesting if it was them.--the logo looks very familiar.  They have good rates as well so I will send them an email.

I think I bumped into them at Ronnie's Sex Shop last time I was in country. A German guy with support vehicles and a bunch of Harleys?

Hello Saffers I am returning to the Cape for a few days in late March. This time I am bringing my lovely wife who has never seen the Cape. I am thinking about hiring a 1200GS. Last time I was here I got an F700GS from Karoo Biking and they were very good to me, just wondered if you all had any...

No I think we're going to do about a thousand mile week. Probably equal parts slab and dirt.

Robski thx for the reply, I have looked at all those websites and I think I will probably go with one of them. I also found some guys in City Center that have R75's for hire...now that would be a classy mode of transport! Right now our main decision is whether to go on a couple of Tigers or on...
