Hi, I am looking for two spoor tracks in the area of the Hartebeespoort Dam and  between there and Pretoria. The ride has to accommodate experienced and medium experience riders. Is there a way to get under the N4 via a gravel road or viaduct? Many thanks Mario (now on an AT with DCT  :-) )

Thanks  to Tiffie and Rhino for an enjoyable ride!! Tracks attached. The farmer at Heuningkloof said the road to the Stinkhoutberg Reserver is closed and the Loeriedam road as well  ??? Will have to go and look next holiday! Mario

Dankie man!  Dit lees lekker en dis lekker om te hoor die PTA klub se challenges spoor aan om al die klein plekke te gaan besoek! Ja, daai Wuperthal 4x4 pad is lekker!  Ek's jammer ek het die Eselbank watervalle gemis in my Des trip daar. groete Mario

The Worcester to Van Rhynsdorp via Cederberge (Wupperthal 4X4 rouet) to Richmond to Jeffreys bay (via Grootrivierpoort) track. As discussed in this RR :https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=116499.0 Mario

This is the fourth year in a row that we’ve done a bike trip after Christmas. It’s an institution now.  ‘n instelling! We’ve been to Die Hel, Rhodes, Sutherland and this time it was the Cederberge! It was Wayne’s turn to organise and a splendid job he did too! It's a pity Erich (a Cape Town wild...

hmmm not sure if these help - 2010 vintage. I remember going through a location but don't remember a rubbish dump...

OrangeSwifty se roete was toe wel interessant en lekker! https://www.bmwclubs.co.za/forum/17-club-breakfast-runs/21975-cullinan-gs-ride-recce-this-sunday-6-jan#22550

Dankie Dwerg!  Ek het gekyk en daar is redelik overlaps, maar daar is n roete wat noord draai van die Rayton spoorlyn pad wat interessant lyjk!

Tyres are very personal and subjective choices... I've been quite happy with TKC80s up front and Mitas E07s (140/80) at the back. TKCs wear quickly on tar - so if you want more kms you can use Mitas E07s at the front too. Or Heidenaus front and back? Proper MX/offroad boots are crucial - any...

Hi I'm leading ride next Sunday for the PTA BMW club from Centurion to North of Cullinan, looping back to Cullinan. We've ridden this a few times and a bit of variation would be good!  Any ideas or routes?  This route includes the Mamelodi Sand Quarry, railway roads, a bit of deep sand track...

Hey dookie that was the recce route I think.  Gee, we must make contact - I'm very keen to explore routes in that area! Pleas PM me you cellphone no? rgds Mario

We had a very nice big group (40 bikes!) with widely varying off-road experience. 3 KTMs and a Tenere, plus the GSAs, GSs and the 800s. A sand tweespoor caused lots of fun! See...

At home.  At work Photobucket works.  I agree - keep the pic size to 300K or so?

I rode one as a loan bike and gee it feels so much more nimble than the F800GS! Nice free revving too, liked the throttle response!

All bikes and all visitors welcome!  I've seen Honda XR650's,  Teneres, S10s, Suzi's, etc... Marnus is a member of the club and a past GS club captain... :-) The ride is next Sunday, 8 July, leaving 7:30 from the BP close to the Makro in Centurion

On Saturday, Steve (1200GS), Marnus (KTM990) and me (Mario - F800GS) did a recce for the PTA BMW club.  We left at about 8:15 and the planned route was: Sambok Bar, Mamelodi quarry, railway road to the west, then north via the railway road through Mamelodi, north to Kwa Mahlangu and then loop...

The Percheron mare has now foaled and what a little beauty! The mail from Christine at Outeniqua Moon: "Hi Mario, Just letting you know that at 2am this morning our beautiful foal, Shadow-fax, was born. He is an exceptionally healthy boy of an already large size. We think he is going to be...

Ek en my seun Jaco ry saam - hy op sy Dakkie en ek op die F800GS.  Ek beplan maar altyd 'n Desember trip - goeie tye saam! Jongste trip is hier: https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=87531.msg1735811#new

A four day easy Karoo cruise in December from Jeffreysbay with Philip (GSA), Wayne (Super Tenere), Jaco (Dakar) and me (Mario) on the lewensgevaarlike yellow warning sign F800GS. Many thanks for planning inputs from the dawgs!   The whole trip Day 1 - 26 Dec 2011 - JBay to Prince Albert...
