It has been a difficult time and it took me a while to decide whether or not to do this RR, but I realised that I have to do what I have to, no matter the toll on me, if I am going to fulfill my objective of honouring my son, Brandon, and make a difference, so here goes.

This is the most difficult thing that I have ever had to do in my life. On the 15th of March 2021, I lost my 27 year old son, Brandon. He was the love of my life, The reason for my existence. I have taken a leave of absence from work and am going to travel, I just need to get away and try and...

I need some information for our upcoming trip to Lesotho. Leaving PE 16 Dec. What is the road like, turning off outside Grahamstown to Committees Drift on to Breakfast Vlei and up to Dimbaza?

Anyone have information on freighting a motorbike from South Africa to Canada or the USA?

Still practicing. Last view of Coega where I was working before starting this great adventure.

As I am doing a contract in the Montagu area for the next 10 months, I have a rented cottage on a farm just outside the town. Bob (Gill) and I decided that I would drive back to PE in the Bakkie, fetch the bike and her, return to Montagu and spend the Easter period at the cottage. We took off...

I think it is time for a new Ride Report. The bike was ready, now just to get the saddle filled. Going to be my first non-solo trip. Quite an adjustment. The destination - Lesotho. The route - don't know yet.

Only 2 days to go before my departure from Port Elizabeth, on a 17000km solo trip, but the trip is happening right now, as I have officially stopped working and the packing, which is as much part of the trip as the riding, is taking place. The GS 911 Diagnostic Tool, which was generously given...

I flew to JHB to see my son and test drive a 1200 GSA that had been advertised on WD. My offer was accepted and Bumble Bee and I were on our way to PE. I was not exactly prepared for this eventuality and only had my open face Quad bike helmet and a pair of gloves with me. But, the deal was done...

SOLO, ALL ON MY LONESOME OWNSOME.................................................................... 17000 kilometers 2 month round trip from Port Elizabeth to Zanzibar via Botswana into Zambia, riding through the western side, the Barotse flood plain and northern side, along the Congo border...

Monday 16 Dec 2013 I was planning on doing a trip to Botswana for the December holidays, but I was warned of the unbearable heat, combined with sand, not a good idea. But (just a poor excuse for justifying a long trip), I need to start practicing riding, with all I will possibly need, to...

The planning has started for the next epic African Adventure departing around 25 June 2014 for 6 OR 7 weeks. The prelim route is currently this far: PE to Kimberley to Vryburg to Bots border Then either left up past the delta to Caprivi, Katimo Mulilo and into Zambia                    OR...

Laban, Thump, Jman and Daskop meet at Engen Blue Water Bay and set off for Alexandria via Kinkel bos and Woody Cape. First the ride photos. (And you know by now that I like taking photos) We truly live in Adventure biking paradise.

I want to do Eastern Namibia and Botswana from 2nd week in Dec 2013 to 1st week in Jan 2014. I know it will be HOT. Any other advice (for and against), from other dogs before I finalise this, will be greatly appreciated. Routes must be GSA friendly, please.

So this is my version of "The long awaited African adventure". Some patience is going to be required, as I have a few thousand photos to sift through and sequence. Day 1 - 26 June 2013 - PE to Murraysburg. Amazing weather to start the trip with. We were warned that it was going to start...
