    Hallo - Zackster hier

    Dankie. Ek het die alternariewe roete uit Stilbaai oor die laagwaterbrug gevolg soos voorgestel. Was defnitief die moeite werd. Kaapstad, suidelike voorstede. Die Forum is n puik alternatief wanneer ek nie per 2 wiele in die naweek kan uitkom op die pad nie

Stayed at the Stilbaai Backpackers above Puffie's Bar. Nice venue but not recommended if you want...

    Having read some of the other posts I feel under pressure to post and share my 1st Roadtrip Took delivery of my F800GS on 11 Dec'13 and thought it best to get some kms under the belt before venturing off-road in 2014. With some good advice from the Forum I invested in a soft bag at Flying...
