Dag 3 / Day 3

Neem afskeid van “René” op Keetmanshoop wat terugdraai Kaapstad toe en begin die lang tog alleen noorde toe. In Windhoek word daar eers by “Danvic Auto” gestop waar “Dieter” gou ‘n paar dinge op die motorfiets uitsorteer.

Ontmoet hier 4 Angolese motorfietsryers wat al die pad van “Luanda” af ry Windhoek toe so elke 3 - 4 maande om hul fietse te laat diens. Dis ‘n afstand van bykans 2500 km waarvan nagenoeg 900 km slegte grondpad is. Volgens “Dieter” ry hierdie ouens hul fietse (800 GS) in die grond in en verwag dan van hom om wonderwerke te verrig.

Day 3: 17 Aug 09 / 21h20Keetmanshoop (Namibia) - and I had to say farewell to “René” turning back to Cape Town. The long and lonely journey to the North awaits. A pit stop at “Danvic Auto” in Windhoek to do an overall check on “Ou Bees”.This is where I met four Angolian motorcyclists, touring all the way from “Luanda” to “Windhoek”. This is a ritual every 3 – 4 month’s for a service on there bikes. A distance of almost 2500km, of which 900km are bad dirt roads. Thereafter “Dieter” needs to work his miracles fixing the bikes.
