I remember it well. Was quite an achievement to get everybody back in one piece. Was also a great day's riding. So I guess I will see you guys there then?

Times like these I wish I rode a BMW. But maybe I can go as media. Or maybe I should just pay in full and enjoy the fun. Het iemand n extra BMW om te leen?

Jy's darem nou lekker lelik met iemand wat nog nooit iets op die forum gekoop het of adverteer het nie. En as ek net een keer in drie jaar iets post is dit my saak. Daar was reels wat gese het ek moet sinvol post toe ek opgesign het, niks wat gese het ek moet gereeld post nie.

I had Hyperpro fitted to the front and back on my bike and have both set fairly stiff. Front back 10 turns from fully compressed. Back about halfway. I weigh 95kg. In my experience on the Tenere you should stiffen up the springs. It makes a world of difference. The stiffer, the better.

I am on my second Tenere and my next bike will be a 660 again. The value for money element makes it a no brainer for me. My wife rates it as one of the best pillion bikes on the market. With two up a little more grunt would be good, but with just me on the bike, it goes like a rocket.

Met Ray a couple of times and had a ride or two with him. Always the soul of the ride. Few knew more than him about adventure bikes. Whether you liked him or not, he made an impact on adventure riding in this country and put many a happy soul on two wheels. Legends like him don't come around too...

Looks like it was one great trip. I was in Cambodia about 10 years ago filming a documentary and remember it as one of the coolest places I have ever been. Sonja and I often said we would go back there if we had half a chance. Now it seems like we will have to go back to ride that trip. Thanks...

Laat weet as jy om Lesotho wil ry. Ek ken 'n paar paaie en het dit al een of twee keer gedoen.

ABS moet moer gevaarlik wees. Almal vertel hoe dit hulle lewens gered het. Die feit dat julle nog geleef het toe dit julle lewe gered het beteken dus dat julle lewe nie in gevaar was voor julle ABS gehad het nie? Of verlaat my logika my nou. Jy kan maar vra, almal wat onlangs oorgeskakel het na...

I struggled with sand for years - even after numerous Country Trax courses. Then one day I decided that it was time to overcome my fear. I started playing in ploughed fields. First gear, gun it, stand up and look up. This allows you to shift your weight forwards and backwards in safe conditions...

En ons sal daar wees om julle te ondersteun. Maar jy het mos nie 'n GS Eco nodig om in die Vrystaat bike te ry nie?

Wow, you guys had a good time. Was nice having you in the Eastern Free State and hope you will be back.

Ek vermoed hulle moet die bliksems wat die roetes gebou het opsluit. Hulle was obviously kranksinnig. Dit is nou as ek so na julle fotos kyk. Maar lyk darem of julle dit geniet het.

If you went through the ploughed field, you were exactly on the right road. Congrats.

Pom17. Jy bly mos net om die draai van my. So kom kuier een naweek dag gaan wys ek jou sommer die verkil. Maar dit is nie te sê dat dit volgende jaar wees so gaan wees nie. Daar sal waarskynlik ander rakkers wees wat die roetes uitwerk.

There was 620 bikes entered. Add to that a couple of pillions, BMW SA Staff, Club Staff and the media and you get to a number of 750. Much the same as last year.

We were all very sad when we heard the news. I never met him before the GS Eco, but checked him in at the gate. My first and only impression was that he was a gentleman. I am sure he will be sadly missed.

From my side, being one of the organizers and all - the event was a success and a huge financial investment was made into the community of Clocolan. The positive impact will be felt for years to come. The event was very Eco friendly. Riders stuck to the routes and went out of their way to play...

Thanks for coming and making a valuable contribution to our little town. It is fast becoming an important destination for adventure bikers in South Africa. Who could have imagined.

After seeing all your pictures, I am now determined to do more riding and less organizing on the next one. Will just have to find a borrowed GS somewhere. Great to see you all had such a great time.
