Kicking it off with a warning....
Every now & then, the government with take a crap photo of you & expect to be paid an exorbitant amount for a grainy, badly framed digital image of you going about your business. (Don't ask if they sell 'prints', they have NO sense of humour)

Breakfast run out to Drakenstein Correctional Facility (I only found out it was a functioning prison as we left, their canteen is like a little dorpie restaurant, overlooking big gardens.)Their canteen is open to the public, One of the biggest & cheapest breakfasts you'll find.
This is the damn at the end of an awesome long road of fast sweeps.

An official "9 cape passes in one day"
Route actually covers 10 passes as the Franshoek pass ends (in name) at the top of the mountain and becomes uhm.. a different one :dundun:
It's about a 600km run, leave home around 7am, get back around 4(ish)pm

Nah, not a lot, it's pretty far from Tableview so I play on the back roads of Durbanville hills :)
I'm pretty lucky, my insurance covers me for "Riding School" so I got the official letter from the 'Suzuki South Advanced Riding Academy' :sneaky PM me your email addy, I'll forward it to you & you can hit up your broker about it.
Aaah so that was you on TB :crash you're welcome.

Yeah I also do most riding in the week when I'm home. I need to haul the bike down sometime so we can ride.

I think in future we need to plan an annual event in CT so we can go ride. Our members are slowly growing, so It could be achievable, and make it cheaper if people haul together.

Ride safe, bike look tits :fact

Thanks guys. The right belly fairings made some bubbles because the guy did a shitty job. So in those photos it's sanded down a bit. but my seat cowling and RH belly is in for spray. If I get them back and I put the Yamaha decal on then the bikes finished for now. or maybe not... tune up... titax... some carbon... ????

Form looks good, I'll say just bring your chin down towards the mirror and elbow out, difficult to see how much you are hanging off from the left rear it would be easier to see.

Me and my wife did a little trip to Mount Sheba, and Graskop for the weekend

We had some light rain for 20min on our way there and on our return we had heavy fog with mist rain in the Graskop Sabie area... luckily the sky opened up on Long tom pass so I got in a few good twisties (road was still wet here and there)


...ps. don't go to mount sheba on a roadbike, 9kms of BAD dirt road:

Resize them if they are way to big, otherwise post them as is... you can also use photobucket or something

Or you can email/post them to me and I'll post them up for you
