One of the first trips where there was everything. All worked as planned with no issues.
Would like to thanks Pieter and Willem for joining. And to all the V Storm bikers out there sorry, that BIKE rocks.

The weather didn't work out as planned in the beginning I wanted to go home it was freezing.
The plan was.
Get to Loskop Dam. Don't do the normal dirt roads to Dullstroom and explore the tracks around the town.
Well in the end it was awesome. There was nice speed highways. Then there was I'm a life moments.
and some seriously not for noobs track. Some great friends.

Fist picture. "Dear Willem: were going dirt road the TOP BOX will eat your lunch LOL

Then it was some plantations. The colouring of this picture is great with the dry winter ground and green leaves showing life.

Then we stopped in Dullstroom.
Had some breakfast and coffee. and off we went. On a serious note this is where the road was freaky scary. And I tip my had for Willem and his V-Storm most other riders will just tell us to shuff-off.
There was a stage you didn't want to take a picture because you're scared you're going to jinks the person trying to get down.

We then started our way home. But stayed to the program all dirt. The past was good the road was flat and the V-Storm made sure we will not forget until.

When he realised what happened it was too late. Pictures were taken, there were lots of finger pointing.
We had some water in the shade while he repaired the top box.
Then it was for Pretoria
