High side, just too far for her, so she was happy to pillion. In saying that I must have the best pillion in the world, she was even leaning when she was taking the vid.

We did close to 2 500 kms on the whole trip. Took from 6 am on Saturday to get to our sleep over on the south coast. We arrived there at 2 pm after 750 kms in the rain :evil:

Took another 3.5 hours to get to Umngazi as there is no straight road and you have to cut back through the mountains inland. Lot of rural settlements.

The road the vid was shot on like this for about 130kms of the 160kms to the next town and then some more from there too but the eventually flatten out and you can join highways.

I had to ride alone to Kokstad which is 160kms away to get a new rear tyre on Wednesday. They told me that the cars can not do it in less than 3 hours, usually 3.5.

it took me 2.5 to get there and 1 hour 55 mins to get back :lol:
