Aww, thanks Richie. I'm glad you're glad I'm back, but I'm not glad to be back. LOL.

I wanna go back and do it all over again.

Two very contradictory(sp?) statements I feel...How can you say that you don't feel safe when you go back there so often? I would just stay home if I felt that way.

As for the apparent "lack" of bikes, I think you need to open your eyes next time...Riding in SA is hugely popular, even more so in the areas you mentioned (Swaziland and Lesotho) although in those areas they would be trailies rather than superbikes. I belong to a couple of huge South African rider forums and never before have motorcycles been as popular.

As for hiring a bike, unless you are in CT or JNB you will find it difficult to hire anything other than a BMW or Hardly Davidson. PM me if you want any more details on either the forums or possible contacts regarding bike hire.

A few more.

Views from Table Mountain. You can just about see Robben Island in the first one.





In this one, you can just about make out the stadium for next year's world cup thingy.

Wow, wow, wow!!!!

How'd you enjoy it? It looks mint!

Any spills? Thrills? Broken bones? How'd the bike fair up?

How easy was it to get your visas? Need many injections?

Miles per day? What Sat nav?

It looks fab!!!!

It was fab and I enjoyed it loads.

No broken bones, no spills, and lots of thrills.

I did nearly drop the bike once, on the first day. But that was purely because I was still trying to get used to the bike. .

Visa is dead easy to obtain.

Didn't have any injections as we weren't travelling to any high risk areas.

Average of 230 miles per day. The most we did was about 300 miles on a couple of days.

Didn't need Sat Nav as we had a guide, although we did use it on a couple of occasions.

Cape of Good Hope



Stopped by the police.

I don't. I just want to know how much it cost, how easy it was to get organized, and when I can go

Dead easy to organise. Just put your money on the table and off you go. Seriously though, PM if you want any detail.
