MOTOfile: March 2010

Sunday, 21 March 2010. Moto S.A. DAY 26. Cape Town. Final Day. This is the last S.A. Ride report. Moorreesburg, where I had stayed at the invitation of an old friend, is only 100 km from Cape Town. The 'adventure' is nearly over. I stopped at Swartland Service Station, on the N7, briefly. Then it was the final leg back to Motorrad Rentals. My flight to London was not until the evening. There was plenty of time for a ride around the city. Cape Town will always be special. This is the new work-in-progress.

Friday, 15 January 2010. Anyone for a Spin? As soon as the snow and ice melts and there is some traction we will be back on two wheels. Four wheels move the body. Two wheels move the soul. The temperature here is about 2-degrees Celsius today (see AccuWeather.com in the margin ). In South Africa the temperature is in the 30s I believe. In two weeks or thereabouts it will be heat and dust for me. I'll let you know which conditions are preferable when ( if. I return to the land of snow and ice. SA Ride Day...

Sunday, 28 February 2010. Moto S.A. DAY 3. Worcester to Cape Town. After a very good breakfast, prepared by the lovely Mrs de Bruyn, we left Worcester and headed back on the R43 to Villiersdorp.

It is not every town that has a tractor and trailer parked on the main street! The view to the west . Moto S.A. DAY 2. Cape Town to Worcester. The PLAN w...
