Is motorcycling allowed?

[Spokey]

Yes, this one..

We came up from Van WyksDorp. Apologies for dust-covered GoPro lens.

Yup, that is the one I thought you meant!

So no DT unfortunately. Guy pulled out of the sale again - he did it about a year ago - advertised the bike, I told him I would take it, and the day I was due to leave he told me he wasn't selling. Then he sends me a message out of the blue last month, asks if I am still interested. I say yes, we agree on a price and when I'm just about to leave - guess who sends me a voice message again....SMH

Man, disappointing and very irritating.

Did a lekker Sunday ride with a few guys from a offroad group I recently joined.

We did a loop from Ceres through PA Hamlet to Op-Die-Berg, from there we turned right towards Katbakkies Pass.

We stopped before Katbakkies under some trees for coffee and some of the guy's played in the sandy dry riverbed.

After coffee and rusks we went over Katbakkies and stopped on the other side at some roadside picnic spot to braai for lunch.

After lunch we went through the kloof into the Tankwa Karoo and headed to the Tankwa Padstall for some refreshments. From there we headed back on the Tankwa Karoo Road all the way to Ceres.

A day well spent making memories with my boy and cementing some new friendships.https://uploads.tapatalk-

Thought I found heaven today...

 

Then I took one for a spin. I've always had a thing for Vespas, Ive owned two 150 sprints, and loved them. But having ridden motorcycles for the past 20 something years there is no way I could go back to Vespa!

Where in CT is this little gem of a place?

Factory Road, Salt River. I was on my way to Buco and stopped when I saw all the Vespas! Didn't make it to Buco...

Have taken delivery of this about 2 weeks ago. Very happy. Always wanted one and this came up. Awesome bike to ride.

 

There is something very cathartic about an open road and a bike like this which makes me ride like a hooligan.

 

please please loose that top box

Yep i am not a fan of them as well but when it come to practicality bs looks they win every time. Having to lug a helmet around inside or put your belongings in a backpack when using the bike day to day is always a ball ache.

This is so cool, I had to post on two threads:

How over badly priced are they selling for?

Have an acquaintance selling a very neat Vespa 200 for R35k.

So finally I can add to this thread.

 

I little R1200GS crossed my path lastweek and I pulled the trigger on it.

 

Main purpose of the bike is to travel a bit with the missus and to do weekend tour a month. But with that being said on a lovely sunny day I will most likely end up riding to work etc as well.

 

 

As a first trip, starting from Jhb, what would you recommend? I was thinking Dullstroom but this morning a friend started talking about a trip he did to Parys.
