This will be the last trip for 2014, and it's probably the greatest distance to be covered this year. Big Red and I are heading up to Roodeplaat in Pretoria (http://goo.gl/maps/HymPF) for our friends Timothy King and Nicole Walter's wedding.
It is with great sadness that The Goose (Juanita Parsothum) won't be joining us this time round, due to a heavy work-load and serious deadlines. It's not going to be the same without her, but she'll be on our minds throughout the trip.
Special thanks must go to our friends at Kingtek Motorcycles - Andrew King, Douglas Saayman and Jerome - for preparing Big Red and for sponsoring the new spot lights, we're always grateful to these guys for their work, support and generosity. Andrew even loaned me 'The Custard Tart', a beautiful R1150GS, whilst Big Red was in the shop, what a guy!
Big Red's new 'bright eyes' (pic taken at this years' Toy Run, hence our additional pillion), kindly sponsored by Kingtek Motorcycles, and the route up to Roodeplaat. The spots work superbly and make one hell of a difference. Although I travelled this route last year on The Mighty Zephyr, I do hope that things are lot more interesting this time round. Due to time restraints and a heavy work-load, I am not able to get a little creative with the routing. Keep watching, Africa loves springing surprises...!
