Hi No rim lock the tyre does not give a lot of warning before it lets go i was doing my best Valentino impersonation down  mountain pass  when the 990 started the 'wobble' Not a nice feeling and to be avoided price of new underwear is scary

Last days riding was special Got a front wheel puncture going down a mountain pass had to push the bike flat tyre and all to a safe spot fuck it phone a friend for a 120klm rescue

Awesome riding with the 1290 KTM all the way down to the Famous City of Jansinville Local fair at the pub Bultong and beer Managed to purchase for myself a SA manufactured Okapi knife for R34.00

Sunday morning i was out of there and on my way home Met a bloke on a 1290 KTM on his way to cape town so we rode together for a while Riding in Natal up near the border of Lesotho is spectacular. accommodation is special as well Dead Bambi all over the place. Strange warning signs in the Bathroom

Day 4 just chilled and watched the shenanigans of the bike rally When in Durban Bunny chow is mandatory Got to see Jack Parrow live on stage and learnt the words to one of his songs "Fok fok fok fok fok fok fok" And looked at lots and lots of bikes

Day 3 i arrived at the south coast bike fest in Margate just south of Durban The Eastern Cape and Natal towns are slightly different to my home town. Clocked into the local watering hole full of Harley riders from JHB. What do they feed Harley riders on? "they are big" Lot of sounds and smells.

In the Karroo i found most of the town centers with there wide roads all but deserted. not so in the eastern cape, that is a different planet WHO said the 990 is fat ? i had to squeeze thru the security boom because i was to LIGHT to trigger it. Even rode past an ant farm,

The rain was pretty hectic and stopped play for the day. The town streets are ox wagon wide wide. Thursday rain had stopped and the roads were drying out. Some stunning riding on the farm roads

hi de ho Left Hoekwil in thick mist Over the mountains and into a Karroo rain storm, For the old Rhodesian/Zimbabweans might remember the old strip roads, Well on a scooter after the rain oncoming traffic is not such fun. Then again The Karroo clay is also not such fun . And when it does rain in...

Day 4 Touwsriver-Hoekwil Via Seweweekspoort Can highly recommend Seweweekspoort Photos cant do it justice Slow or fast its a blast. Home safe

Day 3 Calvinia-TouwsRiver Calvinia-Nieuwoudtville-South to the R355-Touwsriver. Went to see the flowers at Nieuwoudtville but only found a bike "Sanctuary" The bikes are so tightly packed into that dusty shed that you cant really dream as much as you wish, The next leg was always a fuel issue No...

Day 2 Merweville- Calvinia Merweville-Sutherland-Middilpos-Calvinia Some truly amazing passes getting you into and out of Sutherland. I can recommend. After Middilpos we encounter hectic road works  massive trucks flying down dirt and sometimes sandy road made things rather dusty and just a...

Hi De Ho Cant really give you a GPS rout (dont have one on the 990) But When it was possible we tried to avoid Tar 990 (2008) and 1200gs  (2008) both have a thirst for petrol if you just think about going near the speed limit, This must be taken into account. DAY 1 Wilderness - Merweville Via...

Thanks for the info on that "Dome"

Now if you ride around in the desert long enough you can even find Table Mountain. But the sea? That is elusive  as them pesky little flowers Maybe its the drought.

Yip the desert is defiantly a strange place. there is no glass or builders-ware house out in the desert So instead of using windowpanes they use wood The other theory is the houses are all boarded up because the farmers have taken the sheep and families to summer pastures or Just moved out...
