Quick Biketrip to Franskraal

Eventually, David found a buyer for his Mahindra.
He offered to deliver the bakkie to it's new owner in Franskraal.
Took the GS as transport back.




 
 Took a swim in very cold water and then made a nice cup of coffee on the beach

GS 1150

Always sort of knew it would only be a matter of time . . . .
Something bigger, little faster, more stable, more pillion friendly, suitable for longer trips
Up to now could manage the urge, then suddenly . . . .  no longer . . .
Bought the BMW 1150 GSA, nicknamed The Fat Lady, in George.
Got on a bus to George and drove her back through the scenic R62 route.











First pillion test run:



Not that bad ! Will need some practice though, The Fat Lady is heavy !
