This is not a Ride Report but since it was a BIG event in the family, I want to share it.

Couple of years ago Tom van Brits sold his son's XT125 to me for our little pensioneater.

We taught the man to ride a bike in the park just up the street.

Took the bike with when we went to the farm so that he could ride a bit.
Also did a trip to Kilroy's Nkandla with Subie where he could ride a bit.

I believe that if you do not have a licence, you do not ride on the road.... finish and klaar.

So the oke really did not have a lot of time to hone his riding skills.

So he managed to get his learners licence about 2 weeks ago and I promised him that we would do a Breakfast Run as soon as time permits.

So Sunday was the first time we could make good on my promise.

Decided to take it easy and hit tar to Boswell Wilkie Circus near Meyerton.

On the way there we did not reach 90 km/h.

Me and Ma in the front, him in the middle and Ouboet and his wife riding shotgun.

Well maybe he is just a bit nervous so I let it be, but I knew from one of our farm trips he managed to get up to 110 / 120.

So we have a great breakfast  at the Cafe... really great food and great prices... check it out... .https://www.circus.co.za/

On the way back his brother decide to go straight home to Alberton.

So that left just the 2 bikes.

Close to Brakpan I see this left arm go up... thumbs UP and he is right on my tail.

So I speed up... and he stay on my tail.

Got home and I ask him where did the horses come from....

Well my kids do not lie and the answer...

Pa ek het 5de rat GEKRY....... :laughing4: :ricky: :ricky:

Welkom to many safe miles Pierre.

Checked out the bike when we got home and the clutch lever had a bit of play.
Took it apart and found it was worn a bit.
Quickly turned a small bush and fixed this for him.
