Die KLR het aangekom!

The friendly Mrs Hermann of Customs helped me a lot to get the bike through as quick as possible. Thank you so much!

Big thanks to SAA

I have to compliment SAA on an employee like Ms Lefkothea Tsemekidou at Frankfurt Airport. Thanks to her efforts and even a call to the SAA Manager did I get ALL my luggage checked-in. What a privilege to be served by such a friendly, professional lady.

My friends Doris Koenig, Gunther Gehring, Rosi Wacker and Hans Koenig brought me to the airport. It wasn't that easy to get all my luggage into Gunther's SUV.

Nou is dit nog net die KLR wat vanmiddag 17:00 uit Munchen moet wegkom. Die weer in die Kaap vir more is blykbaar koel, wind en reen!

Now only the KLR has to manage to be on the flight from Munich at 17:00 today. The forecast for the Cape tomorrow is rain, wind and a cold front or two.

Baie dankie aan julle almal.

Spesiale dankie aan julle!

A special word of thanks to you!

Ek wil graag so aan die einde van my reis vir julle almal baie dankie sê, dankie vir die e-posse, vir die saamlees aan die dagboek, vir die aanmoediging, die bemoediging toe Soedan se hitte my kop laat hang het, BAIE DANKIE! Vir julle ouens wat ek nog nooit ontmoet het nie en miskien ook nooit gaan ontmoet nie, baie dankie! Julle was wonderlik om so aan ‘n wildvreemde te skryf.

Ek gaan hier onder ‘n klompie name alfabeties noem van mense wat voor die toer hulle ondersteuning op so baie maniere gewys het. Ouens, ek waardeer dit so baie! Dankie. Ek sal weer met julle kontak maak wanneer ek by die huis is.

Nearly at the end of Naboom2Germany I would like to thank you all for all the emails, for reading with in the diary, for the support and motivation, especially when the heat in Sudan had scorched my enthusiasm, THANK YOU SO MUCH! Many of you I haven’t met, some of you I will most probably never meet, but thank you for your support to a total stranger.

Below I am going to mention a few names of friends that contributed in many ways to my long tour. Thank you! When I am back home I will contact you again.

My kollegas Lize Cloete en Suzanne Baker – sonder julle groot insette op kantoor sou ek nooit die reis kon doen nie!

Gunther Gehring + Rosi Wacker: Ihr Haus war das Endziel meiner Reise, mein Zuhause in Deutschland. Rosi hat mich unendlich gefuettert, damit ich wieder zunehmen konnte. Vielen Dank Rosi und Gunther. Ich freue mich auf Euren Besuch im November!

To end off this letter I want to quote Ray Muller who sent me valuable preparation material before I left on this tour. Here are only a few points. When reading this you will understand where I am at this point of Naboom2Germany.

• You will laugh – for good reason.
• You will cry – for a reason.
• You will feel depressed – only you will know the reason.
• Your life is guaranteed to never be the same.
• Always be yourself, as you have nothing to prove to any one.
• You will appreciate everything you have and how fortunate you are, more than ever before.
• You will gain new perspective.
• On your return you will be mentally and physically exhausted.

Goodbye until next week on my final leg home!

Die KLR in Afrika

Kawasaki KLR 650

Ek het aan die begin van my beplanning van Naboom2Germany op die KLR besluit as gevolg van vier oorwegings:

1. Die lae gewig van die fiets;
2. Eenvoud en omdat die model reeds 21 jaar oud is;
3. Groot brandstoftenk (23 liter) en relatief goeie verbruik teen toerspoed;
4. Lae prys in vergelyking met die ander 650’s.

Met die beplanning het daar toe nog ‘n vyfde rede bygekom. Egipte het ‘n 200 % deposito, bereken op die huidige waarde van die fiets, vereis voordat mens die fiets die land kon inneem. Reken maar self uit wat ek sou betaal het, sou ek ‘n duur motorfiets van R 110 000.00 gehad het.

Aankoop van my KLR

Ek het die KLR op 1 Maart 2007 van Centurion Lifestyle gekoop. Die fiets was nuut, en die prys R 42 000.

Oefenritte

In die jaar voor Naboom2Germany het ek 15 000 km gery onder alle omstandighede: Teer, sand, grond, sinkplaat, grasvlaktes sonder paaie.

Die KLR is deur al die ritte sonder enige probleme.

Opgradering van die KLR

Ek het op die opgradering van die KLR besluit omdat ek die hele toer alleen sou ry sonder sonder enige bystand van enige aard.

Ek het Ray Muller van Cytech, ‘n veteraan van talle Trans-Afrika-ekspedisies, om hulp genader.

Ray het die volgende gedoen:

1. Handbeskermers vervang;
2. Enjin beskermstawe aangebring;
3. Plastiese beskermplaat onder enjin vervang;
4. Toeter vervang;
5. Groter voet aan die systaander aangebring;
6. Hoofstaander aangebring;
7. Hoofligbeskermer aangebring;
8. Hoër windskerm;
9. Dikker vere in voorvurke, beter skokbreker agter;
10. Hepco Becker tasse;
11. Dikker binnebande;
12. Michelin Anakee voor- en agterband (Op 14 800 km opgesit);
13. Binneband vloeistof om teen pap bande te beskerm, elektronies gebalanseer;
14. Swaardiens ketting, twee nuwe “sprockets” voor en agter;
15. Bykomende petrolfilter ingebou.

Naboom2Germany

My toer het op 15 360.1 km begin.

My filosofie was van die begin af duidelik: Dit was nie ‘n sporttoer met so vinnig as moontlik ry nie. Ek het getoer. In Afrika was ek meestal teen 80 – 90 km/h op pad. In Europa, selfs op die snelweë, was ek meer as gelukkig teen 110 km/h.

Omdat ek alleen op pad was, het ek die KLR soos ‘n dame hanteer. Kry jy die boodskap? Die KLR kon baie vinniger ry as ek sou wou vinniger ry. Ek wou egter nie. Gelykmatig weggetrek (bande en ketting) en goed na die fiets kyk was die modus operandi.

My kommentaar op Ray se opgraderings:

1. Handbeskermers – Dit was een van die beste verbeterings, veral na die valle. Op so ‘n toer gaan jy val. Sonder die metaalhandbeskermers sou die handhefbome (“levers”) seergekry het.

2. Enjin beskermstawe – Hulle het die enjin en verkoeler beskerm. Na my val in die Noord-Keniaanse woestyn op die lawarots sou my reis op ‘n einde gewees het indien ek nie die beskermstawe gehad het nie.

3. Metaal beskermplaat onder enjin – Die geluid van rotse en klippe wat onder teen die plaat vasgeslaan het, was genoeg bewys vir my dat ‘n plastiese plaat nie sou hou nie. ‘n Metaalplaat is ‘n moet vir enige trans-Afrikareis.

4. Toeter – Ek het gefrons en Ray het gesê ek sou sien hoekom een wat harder toet, nodig was. In sommige lande ry jy met jou duim die hele tyd op die toeter en toet jy. Sonder dié geluid het voetgangers net eenvoudig oor die pad gestap. In Kaïro toet jy motors weg voor jou.

5. Groter voet vir systaander – In die sand was dit waardevol.

6. Hoofstaander – was soms nuttig, soms in die pad. Alleen, met al die gewig op die fiets, kon ek nie die fiets op die hoofstaander kry nie.

7. Hoofligbeskermer – as ‘n klip die lig sou tref, was dit nag. Letterlik. Ek was bly die ekstra beskerming was daar. In die Nubiese woestyn het ek dikwels ‘n paar uur voor sonopkoms begin te ry.

8. Hoër windskerm – in reën het dit die ry gemakliker gemaak. Was eenvoudig net geriefliker.

9. Dikker vere in voorvurke, beter skokbreker – Noord-Kenia reken met skokbrekers af. As jy jou bagasie op ‘n voertuig kan laai en jy stop gereeld sodat die skokbreker kan afkoel, kan jy sekerlik met standaard skokbrekers deurkom. Die Long Way Down ouens het 5 skokbrekers daar geblaas. By Jungle Junction in Nairobi het Chris ‘n boks vol skokbrekers wat dit nie oorleef het nie. Na die tyd weet mens nooit wat jou standaard skokbreker daar sou gedoen het nie. Een laatmiddag in Noord-Kenia toe die alleenheid soos pes oor my kom lê het, was ek bly dat skokbrekers nie een van my bekommernisse was nie.

10. Hepco Becker tasse – Volpunte! Al het bagasie het droog en stofvry daar binne gebly. As ek die fiets moes alleen laat, het ek meer gerus oor my dokumente of versteekte geld gevoel. Die valskade was minimaal en maklik herstelbaar. Nie die tasse of rame (brackets) het iets oorgekom nie, slegs die een slot het met ‘n val gebreek. In Soedan het die een “bracket” wel gebreek omdat die laaiers die fiets aan die tasse op die veerboot getel het. Ek het dit in Aswan, Egipte, in die hotel se voorportaal reggemaak en dit hou nog steeds.

11. Dikker binnebande – dit verminder die moontlikheid van papwiele. Dis ‘n feit.

12. Michelin Anakee voor- en agterband (Op 14 800 km opgesit) – Ek het Ray blind vertrou en sy ervaring het hom reg bewys. Dis bande gemaak vir die harde en lang pad. Ek weeg 103 kg, my bagasie was maklik nog 60 kg. Die fiets se gewig met olie en brandstof was ongeveer 190 kg. Ek het die voorband op 28 394 km vervang, na 13 584 km. Die agterband, na 18 256.3 km, loop nog steeds! Dink aan my woorde van netnou: Ek het die fiets nie deur die ratte gejaag nie.

13. Binneband vloeistof teen papwiele – Ek was skepties. ‘n Mens het dikwels gelees dat die vloeistof die hantering van die fiets beïnvloed. Ray het weer daaraan geglo, dit ingesit, die bande elektronies gebalanseer, en ek kon niks merk nie!

14. Swaardiens ketting, twee nuwe “sprockets” voor en agter – Na 18 816 km hou die ketting steeds. Ek het verbasend min die ketting moes stel. Die “sprockets” hou nog, sal 20 000 km haal.

15. Petrolfilter – Dis net ‘n feit, alle petrol is nie skoon nie. Die bykomende filter was maklik bereikbaar en maklik vervangbaar. Ek het in Egipte ‘n ekstra filtertjie gekoop maar nooit nodig gekry nie.

Die KLR se afstandmeter staan nou op 33 616.4 km. Gister op die lughawe by Munchen toe ek die fiets vir die laaste keer in Europa afgeskakel het, het hy 18 256.3 km op die Naboom2Germany toer gedoen. Tot ek einde volgende week by die huis in Naboom gaan aankom, gaan die kilometers opskuif het na ten minste 20 000 km.

Dienste tydens Naboom2Germany

Nairobi – olie, oliefilter, remskoene (ek wou my bagasie ligter maak)

Tel Aviv – olie, oliefilter, petrolfilter

Altenstadt (Duitsland) – olie, voorband.

Ek het twee ekstra lugfilters saamgeneem wat ek na baie stowwerige gedeeltes ingesit het. Ek het ook die lugfilter olie saamgery.

Brandstofverbruik

Ek het nooit enige ekstra brandstof saamgery nie. Ek het nooit op reserwe oorgegaan nie (laaste 5 liter in die tenk) behalwe op 1 Junie toe ek in Langenselbold, Duitsand, aangekom het.

Ek kon gister nie op die lughawe volmaak nie omdat die fiets leeg moes wees. Oor die laaste 17 857,1 km van Naboom2Germany het die KLR 783,166 liter petrol verbruik teen ‘n gemiddeld van 22.8 km / liter.

Die verste afstand ooit tussen twee volmake was 408,2 km, en toe het ek 16.93 liter ingegooi.

Die laagste verbruik was in diep sand in die Nubiese woestyn (Soedan), nl. 14.88 km/l. Die beste verbruik ooit tydens die toer was 25.53 km/l in Letland.

Probleme met die KLR tydens die toer

Ek wonder of julle genoeg tyd gaan hê om deur al die probleme te lees. Waar gaan ek begin?

Pap wiele: Geen

Enige herstelwerk aan die fiets: Geen

Elektroniese probleme: In Italië een sekering (fuse) vervang. Dit was vir die hooflig en paneelbeligting.

Mense, dit was al. Na meer as 18 000 km loop die KLR nog steeds probleemloos!

My slotwoorde oor die KLR

Dis nie die toerfiets vir die spoedvraat of Blink Bennie nie. Dis ‘n toerfiets vir hom / haar wat eerder in betroubaarheid as spoed belangstel, wat by die verste uithoeke van die aarde wil gaan draai sonder ‘n begeleivoertuig.

Ek het so ‘n groot bewondering vir dié fiets gekry dat ek kan verstaan hoekom dit in sommige lande al kultstatus gekry het.

As ek more weer ‘n fiets sou moes koop vir ‘n toer deur verre, afgeleë dele, dan sou dit ‘n KLR wees.

Ek wil net noem dat ek geen borgskap van Kawasaki Suid-Afrika gekry het nie (ek het ook nie daarvoor gevra nie), ook nie van die handelaar waar ek die fiets gekoop het nie (ek het ook nie daarvoor gevra nie), ook nie van Ray Muller van Cytech nie (ek het ook nie daarvoor gevra nie).

Ek het bogenoemde geskryf sonder enige verpligting teenoor enige mens of maatskappy. Dit was my ervaringe, en waar ek lof uitspreek, doen ek dit omdat die produk of persoon dit verdien het.

The Kawasaki KLR in Africa

Kawasaki KLR 650

At the start of the planning phase of Naboom2Germany I decided to do the tour on a KLR. I based my decision on four arguments:

1. The low weight of the bike:
2. The KLR model was already 21 years old and proved itself as a simple design and reliable;
3. Big fuel tank (23 liters) and quite a good consumption figure when ridden wisely;
4. Low price in comparison to other 650’s.

Later a fifth reason was added: Egypt demanded a 200% deposit on the current value of the bike before the bike was allowed into Egypt. You can do your own calculation how much that would have been if I had done the tour on a bike of R 110 000.00.

Purchase of the KLR

I bought the KLR new from Centurion Lifestyle on 1^st March 2007. Price: R 42 000.00

Training rides

I did about 15 000 km on long and short trips to improve my skills. I did a lot of riding in sand, on gravel and through the Botswana bush.

I never encountered any problems with the KLR during these long rides.

Upgrading of the KLR

I decided to upgrade the KLR only due to one reason: I would be doing the tour on my own without any assistance or help of any kind in the form of support vehicles of other riders.

I contacted Ray Muller of Cytech. Ray is a knowledgeable and experienced rider of many trans-Africa tours.

Ray suggested the following changes:

1. Replacing existing hand-protectors;
2. Crash bars to protect the engine and radiator;
3. Replacing plastic engine protection plate with aluminum plate;
4. Replacing hooter;
5. Bigger ground plate for side stand;
6. Main stand;
7. Protection plate over main headlight;
8. Bigger wind shield;
9. Stronger springs in front forks, better rear shock;
10. Hepco Becker panniers;
11. Thicker tubes;
12. Michelin Anakee tyres (fitted on 14 800 km);
13. Tube fluid to protect against punctures; balanced electronically;
14. Heavy duty chain, new sprockets;
15. Inline fuel filter.

Naboom2Germany

My tour started with the odometer reading on 15 360.1 km.

From the beginning I decided that my tour won’t be a sport-riding tour, i.e. as far and fast as possible. I toured the continent. In Africa that meant a speed of 80 – 90 km/h. On the European highways I was happy with a relaxed cruising speed of 110 km/h.

To get the most from the bike I decided I would treat it like a gentleman would treat a lady: Gently. Do you get the message? The KLR could have gone much faster but I wasn’t interested in racing through the gears each time. It was all about saving the tyres and chain / sprockets to get the highest possible mileage.

My comments on all the upgrades done by Ray:

1. Hand protectors – one of the best suggestions. It saved the levers during the crashes.

2. Crash bars – ditto. They protected the engine and radiator. Without those crash bars my tour would have been over after my crash on the rocks in Northern Kenya.

3. Engine protection plate – The sound of rocks and stones hammering the bike from below was proof enough why a plastic protection would be sufficient only in a city, not on a trans-Africa tour. It is a must.

4. Hooter – I couldn’t understand why a louder horn was necessary. Ray said that I would know soon. He was right. There were countries where you had to hoot to warn pedestrians; otherwise they would have just crossed in front of you. In Cairo you had to hoot to keep the cars away from you.

5. Bigger foot plate for side stand – It helped a lot in the desert.

6. Main stand – now and then useful, was also a nuisance now and then. With the bike fully laden I couldn’t get it on the main stand alone.

7. Headlight protection – Riding in the dark without a headlight would have proved why such a protection was important. In the desert I often started a few hours before sunrise.

8. Bigger wind shield – it helped a lot especially during rain storms. The ride was more comfortable with the better wind protection.

9. Stronger springs and rear shock – Northern Kenya is a shock destroyer par excellence. If you have a support vehicle with you that could carry your luggage, and if you would stop often for the shock to cool down you may take the chance with your standard shock. Many did, some got through, others not. The guys from Long Way Down blew 5 shocks on that stretch. Chris from Jungle Junction in Nairobi has got a box full of shocks that hadn’t survived that stretch of road. In Northern Kenya one day late afternoon when I was all on my own I told myself that at least I had not to worry about my shock.

10. Hepco Becker panniers – Brilliant! My luggage stayed dry and dust-free. I felt more relaxed, knowing that when I had to leave my bike for a while unattended that my luggage and documents were safe in the panniers. Furthermore the panniers protected the bike during crashes. Never any bracket or pannier was damaged during a crash. Only one lock was broken, but the African mechanic in Kenya did a wonderful job and it held until now. The one pannier bracket broke when the guys at the ferry to Aswan tried to pick up the bike by using the panniers as handles. I fixed it in Aswan and it held until now.

11. Thicker tubes – it lessens the risk of getting a puncture. It is no guarantee, however.

12. Michelin Anakee tyres - Ray recommended these tyres, and they did their job brilliantly! The tyres were fitted on 14 800 km. My weight is 103 kg, my luggage about 60 kg, the wet weight of the bike about 190 kg. I replaced the front tyre in Germany after 13 584 km. The rear tyre, after doing 18 256.3 km, is still going strongly and will most probably reach Naboom after 20 000 km. The key to a long tyre life: Don’t race, and check the tyre pressure at least every second day!

13. Anti-puncture fluid – I had my doubts after hearing so many stories about the stuff influencing the handling of the bike. Ray believed in the anti-puncture fluid, but then one had to balance the tyres electronically. I couldn’t detect any change in the handling of the KLR afterwards.

14. Heavy duty chain, sprockets – The chain has done 18 816 km and is still fine. I was surprised that I had to adjust the chain only once in a blue moon. The sprockets should hold at least until I get to Naboom, 20 000 km later.

15. Fuel filter – Petrol is not always clean and a clogged fuel line may be the result. The filter was easily accessible. I bought a new filter in Egypt but have never used that until now.

The odometer reading of the KLR stands at 33 616.4 km now. Switching it off at Munich Airport yesterday the bike had done 18 256.3 km on the Naboom2Germany tour. Reaching Naboom at the end of next week the kilometers done on Naboom2Germany will be about 20 000 km.

Maintenance / services during Naboom2Germany

Nairobi – oil, oil filter, brake blocks (I wanted to get my luggage lighter)

Tel Aviv – oil, oil filter, fuel filter

Altenstadt (Germany – oil, front tyre

In my luggage I had two extra air filters, which I’ve used after very dusty stretches.

Fuel consumption

I never carried any extra fuel. I never went on reserve (last 5 liters) except on the 1^st June on my way to Langenselbold, Germany.

I couldn’t fill up at the airport yesterday as the petrol tank had to be nearly empty during the flight. On the last 17 857.1 km of Naboom2Germany the KLR used 783.166 liters of fuel, which gives an average of 22.8 km/l.

The longest distance travelled between filling-up was 408.2 km, and then I put in 16.93 liters.

The worst average was in the Nubian desert, which was 14.88 km/l. The best average was in Latvia, 25.53 km/l.

Mechanical problems on the KLR during the trip

Where will I start? Will you have enough time to read through all of it?

Punctures: Zero

Repairs on bike after mechanical failures: Zero

Electronic problems: In Italy I had to replace one fuse, the fuse for the headlight and instrument lighting.

That was the one and only problem on the KLR. And now, after more than 18 000 km on tour and without a proper service it is still running fine.

My final résumé on the KLR

The KLR is not the ideal bike for the speed freak or Shiny Shaun of the suburbs. It is a dual-purpose bike for the guy or lady that first of all wants a reliable bike, with which they could tour to the furthest corners of the earth, especially without a support vehicle.

I admire the KLR, I love the sound of its one cylinder, I am going to exhibit it in my coffee shop (another dream) one day after many more long distance tours.

If I had to buy a bike to start a trip across Siberia tomorrow I would buy again the KLR.

I have to mention that I never approached Kawasaki South Africa or Centurion Lifestyle or Cytech for any kind of sponsorship, neither was I offered anything to promote a product. What I’ve written here are honest impressions of products as I’ve experienced it.

Ek wil dit met jou deel.

Ek het hierdie vanmiddag van een van die mense ontvang wat gereeld die dagboek gelees het, wat in Soedan groot bemoedigende woorde geskryf het, wat ek nog nooit ontmoet het nie, van 'n mens wat ek glo sonskyn versprei waar sy gaan.

I Am

I am capable. I am worthwhile.
I am beautiful. I am lovable.

I will accept both my strengths and my weaknesses
For they are me.

I will never again believe the "lie" that if I make a mistake,
I am a mistake.

My mistakes are the learning tools that I will encounter
on my life journey.

When I learn from my mistakes, I give them meaning
When I give my mistakes meaning, I can begin to forgive myself, I can
begin to heal.

I will not use my mistakes as excuses to give up on me.
My mistakes are not me.

I will seek the wisdom to nurture my heart, mind, body, and soul
so that I may feel more centered, providing an energy reserve.
That allows me to climb the mountains in my own life, that allows me
to love and support others who are climbing a different mountain,
that allows time for friends, play and the celebration of life.

I will permit myself to feel capable so that I may seek excellence.
I will permit myself to feel sadness so that joy may return.

I will permit myself to feel joy so that I may be revitalized.
I will permit myself to feel afraid so that I may find courage.

I will permit myself to feel alone so that I may know me.
I will permit myself to feel beautiful so that I may feel free.
I will permit myself to feel lovable so that the loving may seek me.
I will permit myself to feel pain so that I may heal.

I will permit myself to feel worthy so that I may fulfill my purpose.
When I am centered, I see the perfection in the world, myself and others.

When I find the world to be imperfect,
I will take responsibility for painting it that way.

I will look into the heart of a rose, or the eyes of a newborn baby
And again know perfection.

I take responsibility for creating my own life story through the choices I
have made.
To blame others is to give away my personal power.
Who will I allow to write the next chapter of my life?

I will seek the courage to believe in God who will laugh with
me in the sunlight or cry with me in the darkness.

I will make a small difference on this planet through the work I do.
When I leave I will have done my share.

I will live, love, laugh and learn on my journey.
Because God loves me and He makes it possible for me to write my life's
story.

Thank you so much my dear, unknown friend. You have made not a small difference, to the contrary.

Und Anja, vielen Dank, dass Du mich in Muenchen abgeholt und nach Langenselbold gebracht hast. Es ist unmoeglich, Deinen Beitrag zum Erfolg von Naboom2Germany in Zahlen zu bezifferen oder in Worten auszudruecken.

Die KLR is afgegee.

Ek het laas in die Sinaiwoestyn in Egipte die KLR ge-"hug".
I hugged the KLR in the Sinai desert in Egypt the last time.

Hierdie steelfoto is vir my mooi. Laaste terugkyk na die KLR.
This snap shot is so funny. I looked back at the KLR a last time.

Goeie middag!

Die KLR is in die veilige (hopenlik) hande van die lugdiens. Sondagmiddag vlieg die liewe ou vriend van my Kaapstad toe. Ook ek vlieg oor die naweek direk Kaap toe, en Maandagoggend die een of ander tyd is ons weer op pad.


Good day!

The KLR is in the safe (I hope so!) hands of the airline. On Sunday afternoon it flies to Cape Town. Also I fly fly over the weekend directly to Cape Town, and on Monday the KLR and I will be on the road again.
