Hi,

Well, here is my experience to and from the bash. Firstly a portion of my wiring burnt out one week before the bash. Freak and Dappermuis came to my rescue and helped sort out the wiring....The day before the bash, a noise had me so worried that I took the bike apart to check valve clearances etc. Finally got everything assembled and ready.

Everything was packed and ready Wednesday night. I left my house in Centurion at 5AM and met up with Johan (Bushtrotter) at Allandale. We then headed out to the Blockhouse Engen on the R59 where we met up with Dave (Superdave) and Schalk (Schalk van der Merwe).

Affter brief introductions and admiring each others steeds we headed out towards Koppies. We did quite a bit of dirt on our first day. We took no main routes.

We stopped at Zastron at the hotel for a beer or two. The Wind was horrible. We left Zastron for Aliwal North, and the wind picked up, it started raining, and to top it all the air was filled with small black burnt grass. It was so hectic that the rear on the bike was being pushed around by the wind. We also passed a big tree that had falled over due to the wind.

But after a lot of prayers and saying sorry for all my sins we made it safely. We had a good braai and kuier.....
