After our 2018 tour on the same motorcycles, published in Bike SA magazine of November 2019, we then speculated the next trip will be from Kathu via Baviaanskloof, Gamkaskloof and Route 62 to end in Bokkomlaan Velddrif again. This was then planned and executed in the October 2019 short school holiday.
We had the bikes serviced left all the extras we did not use the previous trip and added some new stuff – Intercom systems in the helmets (BEST thing ever!), nice proper bike jackets (not the normal drymacs we used before), took some spare tubes, 5l extended fuel tanks and obviously our Veldskoene. Again, we planned to use only gravel roads for the trip and added some more serious 4x4 sections to add to the adventure.
Day 1
Kathu to Prieska
283km’s, over 4 hours of riding.
The first day we tried to keep not to long to sort out any issues and to get used to our bikes. Started at about 9am in Kathu using the tarred road to Postmasburg and the gravel roads to Prieska via Griekwastad and Niekerkshoop. Only two words for this section Dry + Corrugations!
Day 2
Prieska to Graaff-Reinet via Sneeuberg
418km’s, 6 hours with top speed of 96km/h!
