Orange is the only colour!

Clearly the Guzzi is enjoying a super second life! Lovely ride and pics, DapperMuis! Can't wait for the Guzzi and the Beemer to take a ride on the wild side!

Freak & DapperMuis - one word: RESPECT! Awesome pics and love your quirky rendition of the long way back home.

Nope, wasn't scared off - experienced a slight miscalculation between me, the bike and the pavement. Wheels are perfect, i pulled a hammie and damaged a ligament (trying to stop the fall) and cellphone expired on the spot. Thus spend a little time incommunicado. Went to Suzuki South - and it...

Sorry, 'dogs - forgot to include pics of bike. Here it is again: Iceberg Blue, in great condition - serviced regularly at Auto Atlantic, Waterfront. In daily use and weekend countryside trips. 64000 k on the clock. Comes with a Dakar screen (original available), after-market pipe (originals...

Iceberg Blue, in great condition - serviced regularly at Auto Atlantic, Waterfront. In daily use and weekend countryside trips. 64000 k on the clock. Comes with a Dakar screen (original available), after-market pipe (originals also available), expandable BMW tank bag and top box, hand guards...

Recently bought a 'previously-owned' V-strom in beautiful condition and low mileage (32 000 k's on clock). Very smooth and pretty quiet ride until shifting into top gear. There's a whiny metallic sound which increases when accelerating It stops if I hold in the clutch or decelerate. The best way...

Ek het ook in Desembermaand met daai duur hotel kennis gemaak  :deal:...en op die koop toe 'n hele R100 meer as jy vir verblyf betaal. En daar was nie eers 'n bleddie blom in sig nie - so hulle kan nie seisoentyd vir 'n slap verskoning gebruik nie! njce foto's. vanaand tel ek skaaptande tot ek...

looks amazing. would even consider putting my 650GS up for sale for this beaut!

I do hope this is the right page for commending great service? If not, forgive me after the fact.... I recently returned to Cape Town from a trip to Pretoria and was really pushed to meat deadline for the return journey when my 650 GS decided it was time for a new steering bearing. Imagine this...

Some clarity on Mungo Park & Mungo Park 2.  :biggrin: Nope, no attachments apart from MP being my best biker (and beer) buddy...He inspired me to ride other routes than those well-travelled. A good mate to have on your side.

When I look at those incredible distances - i understand why Mungo Park didn't use any words...I  can actually feel the quiet of the Karoo by looking at the pics. Nice.

Wow, what a whopper of a ride report. Never mind Namaqualand calling, YOU brought Namaqualand to us all in a fabulous way. even though it's grey outside, i felt the sun on my back while going through your report. your mountain pass pics had me holding my breath, awesome! and verneukpan...

Thank you all for your wonderful feedback on my ride report. It really means a helluva lot to me (and my bike, of course) I think the crisp air in Sutherland (most definitely NOT that last and utterly evil glass of red wine :mwink: has caused a serious lapse in my memory - my delightful hosts...

Hi Andy 950. Thank you for great feedback. I recently closed my eyes and begged the bank - got a Canon EOS 350D and use it with a Canon 18-55mm and 70-300mm lens (not the fancy 'beige' ones, just a plain lense with the added bonus of an image stabiliser...which i never use) And by the way - if...
