THE ELEPHANT, THE WHITE<br />
TIGER AND THE LIONESS.<br />
By Pat Roux and Clive Strungell pics by William Sutherland<br />
It was one of those days that only come around very seldom,<br />
sparked by the opportunity to ride the 1190 and 1290 KTM<br />
Adventures. In fact it was supposed to be a chance to ride the<br />
1050 as well but unfortunately that will wait for a future issue.<br />
Oh the decisions on where to go….should we head east out of<br />
KTM’s head office in Randburg, or west? Perhaps south would be<br />
a good choice?<br />
In the end we decided to go north, from Randburg towards<br />
Rustenberg, passing through Hekpoort and Magaliesberg on<br />
the way. First up on the 1290 was Pat Roux, a very experienced<br />
adventure rider on about his 400th BMW GS. This was to be his<br />
first ride on a KTM. His instructions were short and sweet….ride it<br />
with an absolute open mind, and give your honest opinion. Those<br />
who know Pat, and there are an awful lot of you, know that with a<br />
brief like this an honest answer is what you will get.<br />
