So it's 30km's from the Maluti Lodge at Mohale's.  It's been a good day and K-ZN and me have been doing a lot of bonding since the broken leg happened in December. K-ZN probably looked on in disgust as the damage was caused by some lazy stuffing around on a Sunday afternoon on a mountain bike of...

Hey Paulsky.......where were you when I needed you man!  A piece of that fuel hose would have come in handy in Lesotho.  Not even SGB's best Sotho could get the little locals to understand what we needed and it was only after we'd swapped the radiator overflow hose for the pinched fuel hose that...

Yeeeeeee Haaaaaah! Thanks for the day SGB. Great opportunity to do "stuff" and to meet the faces behind Team Lito. Yep....whilst for you guys it was KTM, for me personally it was B...ig M...ountain W...on!!! Thanks again for stretching that comfort zone SGB! Looking forward to whatever...

Here's a reality check....... I thought laser detectors were really cool. Yes they do work, and it has saved me a few bob, but here's the problem........... In the last year I have covered more than 62000km around a Durban/Welkom/Johannesburg loop. In my drawer I have R4500 worth of speeding...

Bli&*^m SGB...... Looks like you had a fine day! Great pics and coverage - you should consider a post on the Motorrad site as well for info. Kevinski seemed absent from the action.....did you do this thing alone? - Apologies for letting you down with da finger! Roll on the 10th - oozing has...

Hey Lito and Shark I'm still in the dark! If I learn to ride the stuff without the damper Then why would I ever need the damper? If it's really because of the endurance factor Why not just go to the gym and get less fatter? Don't you just love poetry?

Hey thanks SGB. I'm starting to put 2 and 2 together now. You got the 525 because you're fat and dumb and so you needed 525 shocks. I got the 450 because I'm not as fat but twice as dumb and so only needed 450 shocks but couldn't divide 525 by 2 without getting to a number that looked close to...

Teeee Heeeee .......we all have our problems - :scratch: :scratch: It's cost me thousands of rands in the gym to maintain my 68kg superior weight advantage. I find the front wheel of the GS12 lifts far too easily. With my standard suspension set as instructed by Jan Staal DT I am unable...

Hey Piet.... Many many happy miles on the GSA. As far as the bash plate is concerned.......study the topo maps of SGB's trips with care and, if necessary, plot your own route and your plate should last a long time! :angel9: Enjoy :) :)

I have the Scotts unit that I move between my 450 and the gs12. IMHO you get: The whiplash taken out of the hard knocks (rocky downhills), additional stability on sand, an ability to relax on the dirt when you're tired (a little sitting during a day of standing, tiring riding is a great energy...

Whiskers SGB.... Which of the above photo's is the comfortable accommodation at Rhodes? My eyes are not what they used to be! Count me in but leave out the hill with the boulders.....oh yes....and when we're about to lift my gs into the little boat thingy it would be neat if you could lend me...

This whole thing is most unfortunate. But with all this "He said.....She said" stuff the truth remains hidden. What we know from Swaziland is that women generally have less rights than those women in Lesotho. So it is perhaps within your own statement that the warning lies if you have learnt...

Hey Adv...please tell more about this BMC/K&N filter

Hey....welcome Papa G. Fancy sneaking in like that? You're right about one thing...... Got any plans?

Maybe there is some good news out of all of this. Adventurer wrote: If current rumours are to be believed, some of these have been voiced directly at the BMW team. The early changes to the programme would seem to include the introduction of the "black" route which will now consist of 3 days...

I'm with the Big Guy who wrote I bet he's got a Lancruiser and I've got a Landrover. Good heavens, if we went through all this &#$%^ everytime we were planning a trip we would never have got as far as the Skaap Jacuzi!!

Great weekend report SGB! In its own small way I reckon the Skaap Jacuzi is as much a masterpiece of its time as the Old Mill is. Thanks for some great hospitality and some fine riding - alweer uit die boonste rakke!! :D :D :D :D :D

When I posted a reply to funacide's original post I wondered what would come out of it all. It would be interesting to hear from members who have done all 3 GSC's. IMHO it's not about being negative - I've got nothing to be negative about at all - I have a green route badge, and a red route...

MMmmmmmmm........second GSC for me. :x It seems the bigger and more commercial it gets..... 1. The generation of really good non standard dirt road riding is a challenge for the organisers 2. Day three of the red routes is very different to the first two, although the organisers would have...
