This Sunday Hamman Motorrad will head out for breakfast at Houwhoek in the Overberg, where the new F800Gs can be seen. There will be two options available for riders. A tar route and also one for the GS guys who would like some dirt. Riders will depart from Hamman Motorrad and head out to Gordons Bay, on to Kleinmond, and then to Houwhoek with some nice dirt for those who feel like it, where breakfast will be enjoyed. After breakfast the guys going on tar will take their own route and the others will head home to Hamman Motorrad via some spectacular dirt. The route will start with a little known dirt road to Botriver and then on

It was most certainly an AMAZING turn up, a lot of pillions as well, riding right at the back it was an awesome picture viewing this long string of BMW motorbikes from behind on the way to Grabouw. After breakfast 10 bikes was going to do some off roading, we headed back towards Grabouw and took the "The Valley" turn off, this is a tar road that becomes gravel over the mountain and comes out right opposite the Arabella near Kleinmond. From here Russ decided to pick up the pace a bit on his own, then it was some more gravel towards Caledon. Here we got a bit wet but not too much...
