Quite persistent (or curious)!? A trick question ..., since you have an answer ready either way?

The sinner is probably not reading this thread as he is re-arranging rock-gardens. In case .... A lot of planning, time, money, manpower, expertise, and what have you goes into trail building and the upkeep of it. I want to believe the trail-builder had something specifically in mind when he left, removed or manicured something on his trail. This is purpose designed, and bares his signature (same as some gholf courses, right!?). Altering the trail (unless life threatening, in which case i believe those guys responsible for the built/upkeep will close and open the trail as deemed necessary) is the same as when you decide screw Leonardo da Vinci, he did a pretty *** job on the Mona Lisa mouth, you will sommer change it yourself.

Have you tried the royal wave (uppie, pretend smile, half wave, stop pretend smile, back to position before uppie)? You may also try the Mexican wave! Sure this will get some attention. Also remember, you Vaalies are sterk boere and can easily manage one hand on the bar. We Capies are mostly winos, and have to focus, particularly so in this "sedoos" that tried and tested your riding abilities. Ride in peace ...

Why? Why the heck will there allways be a turd in the drinking water, some dude that wants to be "hoofseun", klikkiebek ..., keeper of the moral high ground? The helmet issue, riding formation, the greeting issue ..., and so it goes ...

I like Shakespeare ... To greet, or not to greet. That is the question, and the answer either way, you are a ["chop"] tjop.

Excellent tar all the way through Caprivi. Roads (both tar & gravel) in Namibia are of high standards compared to any in South Africa. You might encounter taxi traffic to the Owambo-region, just plan ... The Namib desert is spectacular, particularly Damaraland, with safe bush camping, or community camps.

What Slowbee said ^^^ Added, I would suggest going straight through the Caprivi (you will most certainly encounter enough elephant) to the Etosha, going around the Etosha (or through the park with a lift) to carry on to Khorixas, then down as per your route. It is senseless going first to Windhoek then back up.

Has any of you riding a TB tried to flip the rear shock up side down? My reason for asking ..., - I have difficulty (even with a side loading bottle cage) to get my water bottle in/out, this being an action taken with caution. I believe it would be easier with more space if the shock is other way round. i would like to hear from fellow Tallboy riders ... edit - hope my post is not seen as a hijack of this thread, - thought it would be more direct to TB owners. If necessary I can ask the mods to move this?

I am in favour! .... for your selfish community to donate the land where you keep your horses for this proposed development/school. What arrogance of you to come to this forum pledging their support in advancing your own selfish lifestyle. It sucks big time! There are more important things you can muscle your community to support.

That nibble is not gonna last ...

jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way .... Santa is coming/going to ...

Certainly not a sub standard built. It is a Santa Cruz afterall. At worst it will be on par with any great bike from the floor.

Trust me on three things; By the time you get to the Bosua pass, you're going to be as fit as fiddle, you might scare the living shite out of many a kudu going up/down the B pass, the B pass is a spectacular gravel pass to ride, as many others in Namibia. Go, go see for yourself! Prosit!

Also riding from around Helderberg onto winery rd then up passing Raithby village on the left through the farms then connecting with Annandale, left on Annandale turning right onto the Spier farms, or going straight down to the railway tracks heading for Stellenbosch, a quick espresso, and then back the other way round, Paradyskloof, Louw se bos, back onto Annandale as you came .... Nice time in the saddle, not technical. So many options ....
