    I love the fact that the sign said 4x4's only, and later on, here comes a Toyota mini bus (taxi) driving down the slope.

    The epic drop down photo was perfect. "On the dirt " achievement unlocked. You remind me of Ryan F9 's quote: "a good motorcycle is a sign of a good rider, but a beat up motorcycle is the sign of a great rider", and it suits you perfectly, Kinga. Way to go, tough lady.

    Get it up: I recommend an simple foldable air bag, placed under the bike, filled by exhaust gas to get it up in an angle, so you can do the rest! They use it to lift cars and even airliners.

      Those taxis all have four wheel drive. However, it's even more important to have good ground clearance and low range, which almost none of them have.

    Well done Kinga, that was a tough ride. I was on the edge of my chair the whole time. Just subscribed to your channel, a REAL biker. Long my you stay safe but enjoy every moment. Remember, it's not the destination that counts, it's the enjoyment of the travel inbetween. From an oldtimer biker with 45 years in the saddle.

    Wow I know how it feels ridding alone on bad road condition, you just don't want to drop. You just got to keep going even when it leads you out of your line. You just have to make do with what's ahead and just ride trough. Good on you Kinga, your attitude towards being a ridder makes your journey archivable. Otherwise you may have head for home. I wish to be able to just ride my bike to nowhere land and see what's ahead. When the way gets tough the view ahead will be rewording.

    They are busy prepping for tarring SANI, that's why its flat easy riding, it's not rain, its water trucks wetting the roads. Momentum is important and you need to pick your lines carefully, Sani is very Similar to Breedts Neck here in SA, except Breedts is shorter

  • @wayneblubaugh2122
    @wayneblubaugh2122 3 года назад +1

    Nice ride. If I could offer a bit of advice, I noticed you stopped 4 or 5 times on steep sections, which can lead to the bike falling. There is always a "flat spot" somewhere, even if just a short section, so wait until you get to those spots. I agree with the below comment about "when in doubt, give more throttle." Also, when the bike does fall over, be sure you give tug on the back wheel to ensure it is locked by the gears. You don't want to stand the bike up and have it roll on you. I've ridden since age 12 (now 69) and we all learn the hard way. Anyway, be safe and enjoy the rides. Take care, Wayne in Denver, CO
