A trophy to my GS

To my English speaking friends, with great respect to you, I write this in Afrikaans, (want dis mos my taal), and sure you will forgive me for this. This is a story about my personal experiences of the BMW GS Trophy 2019 at Dullstroom.

Dis ’n lang storie die, so lees hom wanneer jy rustig is en tyd het.

I would say I haven’t always had the perfect relationship with my younger brother Dale. As boys growing up on the farm in the Transkei we were very close and did just about everything together, like wrote off mom’s car when I was 12, shot the neighbor with a 22 rifle in the backside, because he gave us a hiding, because we painted his dog orange, because we were grounded, because we broke his sons arm….. You get the picture. A wonderful childhood filled with horses, rifles, camping, fishing, farming and motorcycles.
