Archive of BMW Motorrad Club Cape (2006 - 2019)

I have been meaning to do this trip since the beginning of the year once I finally decided not to sell my 1200. But broken ankle and infections got in the way. Well I finally set off on Tuesday 8th September. I was a bit concerned re the weather and had moreorless decided to give it a miss. But when I got up at 5am I looked out and saw a couple of stars blinking in the sky, so thought what the heck let’s get on with it. I got 500 metres up the road when what I can only describe as an Indian Monsoon downpour hit me full on. And yes, it stayed with me all the way to Knysna. Luckily I started off with full rain gear on, so I arrived pretty dry, just damp around the thighs. I stayed in a great B&B called the hideaway. The trip was broken up as I was visiting several of our shops on the way, Riversdale, Mossel Bay, George and Knysna. The roads were pretty clear, no other bikes seen. Can’t comment much about the scenery etc as I couldn’t see any!
