Introducing myself *cough cough*

[Ratty]

Nope, sold in April. It had almost R40K worth of bling on... HPN tank from Germany, handbuilt rear shock with remote piggyback reservoir, revalved forks, different springs (all Martin Paetzhold), some Touratech goodies like crash bars and bashplate, Hepco & Becker luggage rack, CAD designed instrument & nav cluster fairing.

 

In the end I sold it for as much as I bought it for four years earlier. But you always lose.

 

Due to my work I travel a lot and I also test vehicles, so I was riding less and less. Eventually I had to replace another battery and decided to sell and wait for a few years before I get back into biking. I've done almost everything there is to do as an adventure biker. Did the Advanced course with Jan Staal, did numerous GS Challenges, was 4th member (media rider) of team SA in the 2010 International GS Trophy were we came 2nd.

 

I think I just reached a stage where I wanted new challenges. Right now (apart from wehk), my priorities are fitness and my shooting (rifle and pistol) and meat hunting.

 

Oh, and the wife too.

 

Have you done Amageza? If not, you should add this to your list of challenges when you get a bike again. Just get a proper bike i.e not BMW :-)
