:deal: This is not really a Ride Report...it's more like a Buy-Report!

After some searching, i finally found "the one"! *Thank you LouwXR :thumleft: She's hot, sexy, always keen and she comes with a manual!!! It's my "brand new" Honda XR400R, 2003 Model with just over 11000km's on the clock! She comes from the big city of JHB, but after many email conversations, she sounded pretty excited about the fact that she'll become a humble farm-girl...saying goodbye to traffic jams, shopping malls and high heals...
So, she took the FND Courier Trailer to Sedgefield, first class ticket and Francois handed me my beauty safely in my arms at about 8:45am on Saturday, June the 5th! I live in Rheenendal, it's pretty much in the middle of Knysna and Sedgefield and this is how the story goes!

Jaco (RCerrie) arrives at my house with his pretty blue lass, Yamaha XT600E...to come and pick me up for the big day ahead!

Tadako & me thanking Jaco for actually showing up...Jaco was 5min late!!  :pot:

Happy Family!!!!
Just to round it off...i took her for a quick spin down the Homtini Pass, which is literally down the road from me...took her to a spot where we could hear the birds sing and just chill in each others' presence, for the dream has come true!!! I'm looking forward to many adventures with her!!! peace! O0
