Old Fahrt
If ever you get to punt a bike around South Africa, the first thing you need to check on your bike is the hazard lights. Be familiar with them. You'll use them between 50 and 150 times on a typical 400k day. Whenever you're cruising down the highway at 120, and a truck, car, minibus pulls off into the emergency lane to let you past, you flash your hazard lights twice to say thanks, and they flash their high beam to say "you're welcome". It happens constantly.
At one stage this afternoon we were cruising at 130 in a120 zone and an f250 and a BMW SUV came up from behind at 160, so we pulled over to let them pass, they flashed their hazards, and we flicked the high beam. It felt oddly good.
More, and photos, to come.
Summary.... Wonderful.
