Why I bought the 1200GS...

[AfricaOffroad]

I'm getting old.

The harsh power delivery of the 110Kw R1, its constant power wheelies, backbreaking yoga inducing seating position, light switch like brakes that when fully applied threaten to throw you over the front bars, and its general bling bling school girl attracting appearance, have forced its replacement.

So here it is: the AfricaCamelManOffroad mobile

Idling up this climb was a doddle

Other side QwaQwa (got a real long name now) on the way to Witsieshoek, you take the Sentinal Peak turn, takes you up to about 2500m above sea level, a lovely scenic dirt road
This pics shows the route quite nicely

Gorgeous backdrop.

Me and a few friends are coming to SA in November on a bike tour organised by a company called Karoo http://www.karoo-biking.de/en/index.php

We arrive in Capetown and go up the NE coast and fly back from Joburg. Maybe we can meet you on the tour.

Fantastic sceneray....you're very lucky to have that

Can't believe you've got street tyres on with all that to play in though!!!

Quick, get some TKC's on and start enjoying it properly
