At the end of our ride, we reluctantly handed back
our GS Adventures. After thrashing through the Baviaanskloof the bikes had
accumulated an appealing layer of dust and dirt. The GS is perhaps the world’s
only motorcycle that looks as good dirty as it does clean. The send-off to this
off-highway sojourn was from the elegant Fancourt Hotel and Country Club Estate
in George. During dinner, the restaurant staff serenaded us with traditional
Afrikaan tribal songs.
Riding the Baviaanskloof is a unique off-road
experience. The sense of isolation, exploring a pristine region little changed
since the violent prehistoric seismic activity that created it, possesses all
the essential elements for a cathartic, life affirming experience. Long after
you descend the mountains and acclimate back into the world, you will have
acquired a significant bookmark in your life.
Dunlop Motorcycle Tires will offer a series of high-quality, collector’s edition Legends posters, with the net proceeds benefiting injured riders through the Clayton Memorial Foundation. ::MORE::
