The Road Less Travelled

Is dit oor sy laaste trip deur Zambia?

Ek sien hulle is nou op dag 2..............wait for it..............yes, wait for it..........op dag 3
het iemand gewoonlik 'n "near-death-experience"  ::)

MJ se bike het hom maar heelwat grief gegee.

MJ het gese hulle gaan Zambia toe. As die RR nou begin neem ek aan hulle het oorleef.

This is an amazing RR.

Does anyone know how he does the maps of his tracks.  I PMd Michnus to ask how he does it - I did not want to bother MetalJockey as I suspect he gets stacks of PMs when his ride reports are being posted & I know it is a lot of work to write them.
Michnus says he pasts them into Paint, tidies them up & saves as JPG.  I have done that from Mapsource but you get a very ugly Mapsouce map.  MJ has a MUCH nicer map.  Anyone know what map that is T4A?  Google?  I am busy with a 16 day RR.

I've got the same map that he is using. I followed his route on my map to get a bigger picture. It is the latest T4A on microSD.

I have the latest T4A also.  It gives a much better Mapsource map than Garmin Streetmaps.  My track shows up yellow when selected yet his shows up red & with an arrow-head at the end.  I also have the latest Mapsource etc.  Is the track colour selectable?  Are there other customisation settings worth knowing about?

Yes it is customizable. Right click on your route in the sidebar and go to properties.

Thanks TR.  Red track shows up much better.

How you do a real water crossing  :eek:

Wow! Dis die tipe ding wat ek met my CTX wou doen.

Ek moes weer na die foto kom kyk. Nou DIT is adventure riding. 8)

Die trippies wat ons doen is sommer "Dual Sport Touring" grondpad trippies. :D

Jy moet daai ride report lees (as jy nie reeds het nie) :smirk:

Dis weer regte Metaljockey adventure  8)

Ek het hom gaan soek op ADV rider maar lyk my nie hy is daar nie?

In vandag se posts raak dit RERIG moeilik/morsig.
Mens kan net sulke goed doen as jou fondse amper onbeperk is - dit is duur fietse opneuk.
Daai ouens is hardcore - ek wonder wat is volgende na hierdie trip?

Jy hoef mos nie te kan aanteken op WD om die thread te lees nie?

Jy kan ook nie eers as guest lees nie. Jy wat eikeboom is sal nie nie eers op my rekenaar kan kyk nie. My rekenaar kan glad nie op daai website op nie.

I have just caught up with it again.  When he did the Mozambique trip he decided not to ride in the dry season this time - wanted green bush & no dust.  This has been very serious - rivers to be expected but mud, head high grass & roads that are not open yet.  Where it stops has been the worst day he has had - much worse than when he broke his arm in 6 places.  They are not eating properly, it is hot & they are over exercising day after day.  In real trouble but I think they are now through it all.  I know he had trouble with his bike - they are still in Zambia but he has only touched on that aspect so far.

Hel  :eek: ................ maar dan het hulle jou darem diep weggebêre  :eek: ............. en dit oor die waarheid  :(

Partykeer goed om bietjie "Cold turkey" weg te kom.

MJ is nog besig, so ek dink hy sal dit oplaai op ADVRider sodra hy klaar is.

Delete al jou cookies vir die WD site  :thumb:

Iemand het al gese ek moet my cookies delete, maar ek wil nie. Ek is op te veel sites en forums wat my usernames en goed onthou. Ek wil dit nie als af vee nie. WD is nou nie so belangrik nie. :MrGreen:
