I recall a trip to Prins Albert last year - snow and rain, lots of rain!

Great trip to Prince Albert. We (wife and i) left in heavy rain on Friday. Saturday heavy rain and zero degrees, Sunday on the way back heavy rain and freezing again except for (and I kid you not) 10 minutes of no rain and 1 minute of sunshine just before Towers rivier. And when asked if we would do the trip again giving the same conditions...... a resounding YES! We are mad. Donald Own a GS and never run out of road.

Ja, onthou daai trip baie goed. Reen vanaf ons by die huis weg is tot by Prins Albert, maar al die goed wat ons tussendeur beleef het. Sneeu/Ys op Du Toits Kloof, toe dik sneeu by Swaarmoed, daarna seepgladde modder op pad Lainsburg toe, hael/reen tot in Prins Albert. Op die dorp het dit begin sneeu toe ons begin aflaai. Die cherry op die koek was nog reen die volgende dag tot by die huis. Na daai trip het ek en my broer(HD) besluit om eers na die weer te kyk voordat ons weer sulke besluite neem, wat doen ons toe? Ry saam met MotoAdvontuur manne Touwsrivier toe in die reen en daarna Middelpos toe ook in die reen! Mal mense. Groete JR

My Most Rainy trip- De Aar return. I ride - and the the weather of the day determines what I wear over/under my gear. So rain has been my companion this year- BIG TIME. The most rainy trip in recent memory was the wedding trip of May 2005. I had my R1150RT at that stage. What a bike!!! Anne in I in Mr Farmer lace-up top-boots and Mr Farmer rain suites left Gordon's Bay in rain to attend a wedding in De Aar. We had rain in all forms and by the time it hailed, I was oblivious to it. Annie had Woolworths shammy gloves on and I had GS summer gloves on. The rain dominates my memory of the trip and it was the odd patches of blissfully welcome sunshine that kept us going. The 7- hour trip via Vic West was probally 5 hours rain. We were in a rain squall, in the dark on the Britstown- De Aaar road at 130km/h when my cell phone rang. I slowed down quickly to take the call as I saw it was the concerned bridal group calling. My headset was also budget then so I could only hear below 90kph. As I reduced to 80, we suddenly saw quart beer bottles standing all over the road. At that speed I was able to weave between them and evade the accident. Waiting skollies on the road side were ready to steal what ever fell before them. or whatever car crashed there. Had I not received that phone call, you would not be reading this rain report. Nevertheless, we arrived home safely 2 days later with rain most of the way back as well and hey, Annie stayed riding with me as well. Since then, I don't mind any weather conditions or light conditions. I quoine a well worn phrase on this forum- "I ride therefor I am..." Andyman Yup that's me.
