-

-
Great, I'm looking forward to that weekend. If anyone has a open space on a trailor for my bike, please let me know. I will pay for the transfer. It's just a bit too far for me to ride (I think) but still want to have my bike there.
-
Maybe next year we should do a heads up on this...book a big spot at a campsite & pull in... 8)
-
We must organize !
There is a great campsite there by Manaba, last year cost us R 60 p/p per night.

ABW is not quite Sturgis. Our old rally is back up and running,and more along the lines of a Sturgis event. Hennie on the forum is actually the main organizer. Last year was the first one after a break,but the town of Graaf Reinet has given the go ahead for the next three years.

Last year some of our club guys did a train trip up to Pretoria,then rode to Durbs from there after taking bikes off train. After they did an epic trip back down to Cape Town.
I am hoping to do this next year.
-

Africa Bike Week - hell yes, what a jorl, like Bronzy been to four and had a blast every time........
Sadly it won't be all party for us as I have a stand there, as usual the terrible twinz da Bling King and Zebra will be sharing a stand and plying their wares. So we invit all the Dawgs to come and spend their mullah on trinkets with us after you've likkered yourself at the JD tent.
Sadly the precious candy with the 98cm inseam and the 36D's (true story) has just called to say she won't be helping us ply our wares as her stupid bastid Bossette won't give her leave - gggrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ::)
But my darling Dilana is coming out from the USA to perform there and she is alone worth a visit to the show!
If you are sitting on the fence trying to decide - JUST DO EEEEETTTTTT!!!!! I can guarantee you will have a jorl! :thumleft:
-
We gonna miss it this year
We just got back last week from tour , so not gonna go
-
Ill be there... :thumleft:
-
We got a crew of 8 going
Awesome, will have a lookout for you guys. Surely you have a wild dog sticker somwhere on your bikes.

Obviously you can come and visit me in Margate. :toothy2: :glasses9: :occasion14: :occasion16: :protest: :thefinger: :glasses10:

Thats bad news Dr Big ......... hope you heal soon :thumleft:
We have confirmed we will be crashing at Pumlani Saturday night, so it turned from making a turn there on Saturday and staying sober enough to ride back (ie 12 instead of 24 beers) to full on PARTY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
See you dogs there - look for THE only Busa at Bike week with a paw sticker on the ass :thumleft:
It will most probably be my last ride with the BUS
-
Preparations well under way ;D
Last night rigged up a aux power point under the seat for pump and charging cell/gps etc.
Strapped bedroll on the back of Bus, camp gear (tents/matresses/coolbag) for me and buddy will be picked up today to go in a back up car.
Getting a set of soft panniers later today for clothing etc and then we are ready to roll ;D
Oh yes and the HD guys are doing some "hard riding" and arriving in numbers :imaposer: :imaposer: :imaposer: :imaposer: :imaposer: :imaposer:

Read my thread going to Pinetown yesterday, in a cage.
Back in the direction of JHB - 14h00 to 18h30, non stop bikes, all the way.
I was jealous, I was sad, I wanted to ride so bad, even if around the canals or something.
-
Read that - sommer just kept quiet, to depressing to say anything :imaposer:
Almost 17.00 the tjaaila and early tomorrow morning off to Margate :biggrin:
-
Have a safe ride guys! Maybe I'll hook up with Dr Big to administer some anaesthetics! :thumleft: :ricky:
-
yes, it IS worth it, the vibe here is electric, and two BMW Bobbers just went past, and I must say, I RAN out the tent to watch them pass...!
-
Nice to meet you Zebra ! :thumleft:

All ready for tomorrow morn.............

Yes, good to meet you TK TEN, too!

GP Harleys BB,all my mates have ridden up from Cape Town. The blow time my bike has been on a trailer is when I had a bad cut in my rear tyre. I do not see the point of not riding.
And if the missus is not keen to ride all that way, she can fly,cost the same as pulling a bike with a gas guzzler.
-
We are here, arrived 08.00 after lekker ride down, luggage works a treat!!!
Had a few brekfis beers, then of to Pistols, but it is full!!
At Tom, Dick and Harry for some chow now

My gat is steeds lam gesit van gister. Maar bikeweek is awesome...

Give me your e-mail address; I can't resize iPhone pics to upload, but can mail them to you for resizing...

I got to Margate around 09:00 and the streets were still kind of empty, most of the bikes having left for the Mass Ride from Shelly Beach.
The whole beach front road was only open to bikes and obviously it being a Harley thing most of everything was Harley. It was impressive!

Unfortunately one could not get clean shots of the bikes.
Sorry no photos of the mass ride. I was on my way out already, but it was impressive hundreds, no thousands of bikes.
It was certainly worth the visit. Hope the Dogs who were in Margate enjoyed the jol!

thanks for pics

Anyway thought I just let you guys know that a good friend of mine was attacked by a few guys on Harleys in Clarens on Thursday night.
After a 5 hour op they could not save his eye !!!
Broken jaw bone and nose as well !!!
A case has been made and I will start a chat and expose these huligans shortly.
Never heard of a off road event going this way ever ... best I stay on my dirt bikes :ricky:

I am not sure what happened but sure 4 guys dont attack 1 and do what they did...surely a hiding is cool but eisch maybe this was a bit harsh dont you think ! For whatever reason !!
-
Eish that's bad Draadkar !!!!
Sorry to hear.
-
Oh yes and BTW guys check out this top box on this GSA ;D
-
Even if the guy deserved a smack, four to one smacks of cowardice. Hope he recovers ok. Jeez man.
-
it's bad enough that harley riders dress up like the village gay people but acting like the hells angels is another story.Hope they get sued for everything they own.

Confirmed, just before the Uvongo bridge. I passed the scene on the way back everything was under control with lots of emergency service, and since I was on two wheels I did not even rubber neck.

Yes. It's a Pooratech top box , and he also made a Pooratech raid box, too! Nice handywork!

Indefensible no matter what transpired. It does appear that he came to the defence of a girl who was being verbally abused by these tough weekend warriors.

anyone got the whole story ???? a bit more detail would be helpfull
-
These Harley okes must be a bunch of nambie-pambies.... 4 against 1??? They always have to ride in groups in case they get lost in a wayward town & get their asses and chrome stripped off! :pot: :patch:

4 against 1 are good odds for me, then I only have to put in half an effort to defend myself. On a serious note, I hope this incident does not harm the biking community as a whole.

Just got back home from a great time in Margate - definately worth the effort and had the opportunity to personally meet Mr Davidson Jr - what a great guy. Despite the fact that I'm not a huge Harley fan (although my opinion changed somewhat over the last few days) I really enjoyed the 'gees' that goes on in these circles - maybe that's because there were so many adventure bikes in Margate ;D ;D ;D ....check these out....
-
Here are a few more......
-
Enjoy......
-
MarcR and myself were first timers - we had and awesome time ... thousands of cool bikes, much great live music and not to mention the fantastic Jack Daniels tent ...
