A girl's point of view: I love my Versys 650 2014 on the tar and good dirt roads, but I find it very scary on the rougher roads. It is very hairy on the corrugations and gravel, like it has a mind of its own. I owned a KLR before and loved riding Baviaans on it, but I wouldn't even consider...
The heros of the weekend were very definitely the guys in the kitchen and doing all the work behind the scenes. Jock, Terence, Mark and the rest of the team THANKS for making the bash one we won't easily forget! :hello2: :salut: :love5:
What can I say? A woman's got to do what a woman's got to do! ( So glad the camera doesn't show how I was shaking crossing the Fish River :-\) As for my riding skills.......I have a brilliant mentor.........my man, Winston!! Won't ride without him! :love3: Louis and Nanie are an absolute delight...

So sorry to hear about your accident! Hope your recovery is fast and as pain free as possible Misty. We can just about form a BIONIC women's club with all the ladies who have metal in their bones on this forum. ;D ;D
Thanks for the encouragement Mark! I had a blast.............A BLOODY NERVE WRECKING ONE.............but an absolute blast!!Thanks guys for looking after me and for encouraging me all the way. A special thanks to Winston who had to work twice as hard as everyone else because I didn't feel like...
