Looks like you guys had a nice ride. Some "nice" bikes along there too...busa....R....[8D]

Drakensberg...sounds like a swedish or norweigan name of the place ?

 

Hello Minn gamla gubbe! (You shouldn't have taught me that)Actually Dutch - "Draken" - the Dragon "Berge" - mountains. Named by the Dutch pioneer settlers in reference to their looking like the spine and teeth of a huge dragon, very jagged and long.
We had Busa R, GSX 1000R 06, KTM 950 adventure, CBR1000F, Intruder 1700, R6, Varadero, FirestormVFR1000, Suzuki 1200 Bandit and the smallest a Suzuki 400, but the best were two XT500 Yamaha *thumpers* who did the whole run, rain, cold and all !! Brave men !!

looks like fun shadow just told my riding buddie its time for a road trip myself, spring fever!!!

 

It's Autumn (fall) here now, KD,so probably one of the last mountain runs we'll be able to do - no snow, just icy roads......and we had 200K's (125 miles) of driving, freezing rain and mist on the return run.......aaaarrrrggggh ![:@]Some more pics .........

very nice scenery , i hope you indulged in a adult beverage at the tiki hut,looks like you guys had a good trip besides the rain and cold.

 

Yeah, that looks amazing. I might have to go half-way around the world!

 

I grew up in west africa and its amazing the difernce in scenere and the fact you would never see a bike that is newer than a 1990 where I came from.

 

Looks like you guys had a good time! pretty mixed up group as well, kind of like we're used to ride here, lots of different bikes.
Cheers on that trip, mountain roads are the best place for our bikes [8D]

 

This wasn't a Club run - just a group of people who wanted to go along - our normal club runs are zx6 (the baby of the bunch) to the Road Captain's Hayabusa. Thumpers, KTM's and so on just wouldn't be able to keep up........ TOURERS RULE.........he he
