WAVOLT Adventures

22/12/2024

Nice but I'm still thinking to go lighter and smaller. With all that is happening at KTM the development of the 990 is probably stopped for now🤔

KTM’s big boss Adventure model, the 1390 Super Adventure R, gets the more off-road focus with chassis, body and dashboard updates plus 50cc more and new “camshaft” engine technology for smoother low-speed riding and more top-end power.

I love the grip of the TKC 80 especially on the back but stopped using them. The reason being that the millage you get vs the price you pay just did not make sense anymore.
Now I wonder with their new tire how much longer it will really last and at what price tag 🤔🤔

Continental has launched the new TKC80 dual-sport tire, now more durable than before and offered in a wider range of sizes.

We ended it in true WAVOLT style with amazing accommodation at Aan de Eike Guest House in Swellendam. You can definatley make Aan de Eike your next stay in Swellendam.
Then The Garden Shack restaurant man, Syd have cooked up a storm for us. The fish and seafood potjie was out of this world!!!!

Camdebo Karoo Tour. What a blast. Perfect weather conditions to explore this beautiful area of Graaff Reinet and surrounds.
Over the 3 days we did Pearson, Noorsvlakte, Jansenville, Sondag river, Erasmuskloof, Kompsberg, Nieu Bethesda, Murraysburg and Aberdeen.
Our stay and Karoopark Guest House never disappoints and we were spoiled with delicious Karo cuisine.
Another one for the books

Day 2. It's the Moordenaars Karoo today. After breakfast we left around 9am making our way to Witkoppen. On our way to Touwsriver my screen started flashing an ice ❄ warning at 3 degrees. My fingers were numb and my face burning with cold. It was officially my coldest ever on a bike.
My thoughts were this should be fun and not suffering and with that we pulled in to Mugg & Bean Touwsriver to get a cuppa and warm up.
It took about 20 min for the cloud cover to disappear and the sun ☀ to show it's welcomed face. The temperature jumped to a warm 8 degrees 😂 and off we went on our ride.
Witkoppen is always a beautiful ride but today the show was stolen by Moordenaars Karoo...what a ride it was. River crossing after river crossing and such amazing Karoo scenery. The ride gave us a little bit of everything you want on a ride. To finish it off in style we stopped at the Matjiesfontein Lord Millner Hotel for a delicious bite and a drink.
Another tour for the books. Our next tour will be Camdebo Karoo 20-24 September. Till then Keep it Twisted 👍🏻😀

Day 1 - We all arrived at Karoo 1 for a quick meet and greet. I was a fresh morning with snow peeping at us from the mountains behind de Doorns.
En route to Op-die-Berg it was a chilly 8 degrees on the bike. The roads were still pretty wet and it was slow go to Op-die-Berg but everyone made it without any incidents.
Katbakkies was a beautiful ride en the road was in great condition. Tankwa Padstal was fun as always and it was good to be back there after an absence of almost two years.
The ride back to Karoo1 one via Pienaarspoort was great with a few tricky mud puddles sneaking up on you.
Tomorrow it's Moordenaars Karoo.

KTM 990 adventure spied. Will it live up to the legend?

Just days after we reported on a prototype 1390 Adventure R model seen at Erzbergrodeo and teased as having a semi-automatic transmission, a test mule has been spotted that appears to be an all-new KTM 990 Adventure. That’s right, it feels like back to the future for one of the most popular KTM bi...

Cape Passes Tour - Day 3 & 4
Addo to Baviaanskloof and Baviaanskloof via Prince Alfred pass and Kom se Pad to Eagles Nest SedgeField
The ride to Joachimskraal in Baviaanskloof did not disappoint. The kloof had lots of water and every little stream was running. Riding it was a lot of fun with lots of splashes and of course Smitskraal never disappoints. I must admit it was the most tricky I have ever experienced it. Not to deep but tricky.
The evening braai at Joachimkraal was one for the books with everyone sharing their stories of their ride through the kloof.
The next morning we set off for Sedgefield but not without stopping at Verberg Herberg who served us a delicious breakfast. Then a quick stop at Angies G Spot having a tequila with Harold.
Kom se Pad was special as always and really one of my favorite roads to ride.
The tour finished in proper style at Eagles Nest near Sedgefield. Herewith some pictures and credits to everyone on tour who took the. Enjoy them love them and share them. 👌🏻😀

Cape Passes Tour - Day 1
We started at Riverdale and worked our way all along the Outeniqua mountain to George.
We had quick lunch break at Conerstone in Blanco. The off to Louvain Guest Farm and man what a place. The tented village was festive with big fire going and lots of chatter about the days ride. Steak braai and our secret garlic patoes with a delicious green salad made sure the guys stock up on energy for day 2 which will be a 440km day.
