Very impressive, you speak the language

Translation from SA English to other English:

dam wall = dam

Beautiful country!

Great photos! Thanks.

I'd like to visit South Africa someday. Is it possible to rent a bike for a week or so and go touring?

Absolutely. In fact you have far more options if you want to rent a dualsport in SA than you will find here in the US (dualsport is the way to go if you want to tour there - some areas are primarily dirt roads, albeit very good quality dirt roads).
I am sure the SA guys will be more than willing to help and guide. I have also done some wonderful riding there - PM me if you need help.

Long time since you were in that (Lesotho) end of the world! Motorcycling around that whole area is awsome in and around the Maluti / Drakensburg mountains. Cannot help but notice that you are using the B.S.A.P. colours as your logo... Some connection? Your first motorcycle was not a BSA or Matcheles by any chance? I am ex force living in Johannesburg, have a Triumph Sprint and Rocket 111 also own tour company www.triumphtours.co.za lotsa pics if you care to look of tours around Kruger / Sabi, Lesotho surrounds and Jhb to Capetown. Wonderlust or somthing! If ex BSAP and Support Unit we are having get together after 28 years at Midmar in
Natal Midlands 14 - 16 Nov. vWant photos of that will oblige, let me know. Cheers.
