Johan that takes care of 20, maybe 30, people. Let's see if the "rest" wants to do something. Any input/ideas from the ON road (ALL bikes welcome) riders ????

I would love to go see Springbok or Knysna or Cape Point

Offroad guys would have seen Springbok, Knysna, Pofadder AND Cape Point in that sequence all in ONE weekend!!!!!!!!

Spider you may start something here... Road vs Off Road... Be careful ;-) Corné Kloppers 0849130391 ckloppers@gmail.com

he he :-) here we go! Now that the new 650GS and 800GS have chain drives. Maybe we can start a `chain/belt` vs `shaft` rivalry to ;-) That will add to the numbers of the road bikes. He he :-) Just kidding... this whole Road vs Off Road thing is getting boring now. Corné Kloppers 0849130391 ckloppers@gmail.com

So can the roadies, if they feel like doing so. They will use different roads (and be there quicker) with less risk of damage to their machines. But then, what is more important: Pofadder or the road to Pofadder? Or the wind & sound in your helmet (on the road to Pofadder) :)

By the way, before the comments arive, I have a large water reservoir fitted to the bike ;-) Do it today, maybe there is no tomorrow! Die malletjie

Rony that looks VERY tempting. However, I will only have 9 days of from work. I am looking at about a 6-7 day trip. Hope you ENJOY your trip Rony !!

Rony, What date will you be in Katima? I will be there on 26th April. 27th & 28th in Rundu. Join us for a beer.

Hey Rony, This is one hectic trip :-) Looks like fun thought! Maybe one day I will join you (when I have a bigger bike). But I think you forgot about Day 20... 20 Wellington/Home to Dealer (Bike needs a service) ;-) he he... enjoy! Corné Kloppers 0849130391 ckloppers@gmail.com

Millroy, waiting for Russel to come back from Tailand before I can pin the exact date down when we leaving but Katima seems to be around 3th of May! Will take a rain check on that beer! Corne, service and tires! Do it today, maybe there is no tomorrow! Die malletjie

Rony, after a trip like that, I think the rider will need a service as well!!

My pillion is my service technician. ;-) Eish, ek dink ek soek vir moelikheid! :-( Do it today, maybe there is no tomorrow! Die malletjie

I'd love to pack up and go away for 19 days. Rony I think you know I'm jealous. May the Km's flow, the scenery inspire and the company entertain you guys. Good luck and a safe trip. Question Rony: What tires will you be using? P.S. I'll sit home and practice cones. Maybe I can knock another 5 secs off my time before you get back.

Hi Daniel Seems I am going on my own, just me and my better half. Russel cant make it anymore. Have a friend in a bakkie that will overnight at some of the places we will, he does not do the same roads as us but we will meet up in the evening now and then! TKC80 Continentals are the tires fitted to the bike, should last 8000 km, did last year. See you when I get back, practice so long, you will need it, I will spend plus 200 hours on the bike in the next 3 weeks. Do it today, maybe there is no tomorrow! Die malletjie

Millroy will be in Katima on 30 April, just to late to catch you guys, have fun! Do it today, maybe there is no tomorrow! Die malletjie
