Seven Passes and Sunday Lunch

The weather played along and kept the cold front at bay for just long enough. Sunday Morning at 11 the Dual Sport Bikers met at the designated spot in the middle of George.

We were on the new TranAlp and Clinton on one of two Honda NXR’s

Mrs. Trailrider was loving the TransAlp & once again with her as pillion we had the advantage of “in ride” photography.

The bike corners nicely as well…

The route starts with the lovely Saasveld road. It’s tarred, but it has great scenery!

The lovely Southern Cape – what better place for a scenic Sunday ride?

The route has intermittent tarred sections…

… but enough dirt to keep everybody happy.

To me the nice thing about the Wild Dog forum riders is that we all just ride together, regardless of brand, age or cc’s. We had Honda’s, BMW’s, KTM, Yamaha & Kawasaki. We had 125 to 1200cc and we had riders that were young and riders that were young at heart.
