Hi folks
So we have created a blog... maybe it's more a case of Toit than we, but still. We had a final night of planning last night in the picturesque Elgin Valley. He especially flew down for the occasion. That folks, is commitment!
Basically that entailed me getting issued with his dad's over sized biker's kit, and he ain't no small bloke... a helmet and some boots, as well as a course of how to use the equipment. Jip I'm a rookie!
We have also discovered that without a masters degree in mechanical engineering and/or a grinder its impossible to get the back wheel off of a big boy scooter! Which ain't encouraging signs if you think a minute peace of glass have given me my first puncture, you guessed it, on the rear tyre!
The above mentioned incident opened my eyes to another all important piece of equipment... A off road scooter tyre... Now imagine yourself going up to a tyre shop and asking with a straight face for an off road scooter tyre... Ja thought so... Impossible! But they are there according to the interweb... it's getting them off the PC on the "bike" that proof to be hard tjik tjik poor us from the technology deserted wastelands which is rural Southern Cape! My home town use to be Vermaaklikheid jip that's in SA!
Well that's all for now. We're new to this so please - your inputs will be most welcome.

Petrol prices are skydiving, which means a lot to transport companies but not really that important to a scooter adventure.. Every cent counts I guess( extra packet of chips yay!)
