Main way round

[RHODESIA SMITH]

Hello all,

finally got some megs loaded and I can post some pics of the trip I did earlier on in the year in May.

for some or other reason ( i am not a very good computer operator!) I could only manage to get the pics loaded as an albumn in my profile. so if any of you are interested go onto my profile and click on my albums. sorry dunno why it did this.

was interesting SA has some awsome places and Port Nolloth was defineatly a place to consider going again- and the awsome roads going through the Karoo/Kalahari.

thanks all

Great pics and a stunning bike. I love that color scheme and wish we had some of those over here in the US.

Thanks chaps for helping to get the pics onto the posts.

glad you like them.

the colour scheme of my bike is/was a popular one here- I have seen a few black and orange ones as well.
mostly here were all 1000's. The 850' s were not so popular, i would imagine owing to the close price difference, blokes who bought would take the plunge and go for the bigger one.

Awesome pics, that is one part of the country I still need to get to on a bike...one day.
Nice thing about the G is that it has the range for those long streches through the Karoo and the middle of nowhere.

ja cool man. I will try to post some more if you guys want?

at the top of Northern cape not far outside of Augrabies,there was a very "lonely" stretch road is in fantastic condition - i managed to get the old girl up to the red line in 5th (top) gear. speedo read 200km/h+ but the needle was bouncing around a bit. maximum speed for about 2 minutes and then had a thought of what if the engine goes bang - how do i get home, and what if i run out of fuel - i am stuffed as no one around for 100's of km. slowed to carefully to a respectable 140km h, and decided to enjoy the scenery.

strange thing is even though it is semi desert- the air temp was rather "Fresh".

hoping to maybe go next year again , but i also would like to go spend some time with my dad fishing near angola.

cheers all
