I generally dont like traffic cops. So when they pulled me over for rolling over a stop street in Aston, all I could do was laugh. After all, I was in the wrong.
I though about it as just another R500 to the sin bin, but things got a little bit more annoying, when I found out that the only place I could pay it, was in the Langeberg (Aston)
I left home at around 9 am, rode through to Louis, who bike did not want to start after it fouled the plug. A quick change saw it fire up and we headed off to Ceres Wimpy where Johan was waiting for us. It seems XRL's only get faster...
We headed out via Nduli and over Onderswaarmoed pass. A lekker quiet piece of gravel.
We headed off to Touwriver and took a right on the N1. 4km down the road we turned on the railway road which had seen better days. The riding was pretty lekker though.
We eventually head towards Ouberg pass.
Luckily made it to Aston and paid my dues.
Then we headed out to Mcgreggor and Bonnievale where everything went Pear shaped. Luckily we had been riding relatively slow, 100kph or so when a cat ran in front of me. I had avoided it and he got frazzled and ran back over the road infront of Johan. I watched this in my mirror and I could only see him fish tailing with a huge cloud of dust. Louis had been riding too close and collided with him, sending them both down.
Johan had gotten up, but Louis stayed down.
1 h 30 minutes later, the ambulances (3) arrived.
Sad to end a great day of riding like this.
