So today we did a breakfast run to go and see the water flowing out the Vaaldam, as they have opened 4 of the sluices.
The response to my invite was not met very enthusiastically, as only Funacide responded apart from Excalibur & Larrysleguana that I invited along for the ride, so I decided to invite my speedbike mates along to join in the fun. All in all we turned out to be 9 bikes so it was a nice crowd.

Stef & Manie had just taken delivery of their new CBR Fireblades ?06 and Larrysleguana was on his new 1200GS. This bike was apparently christened very severely on Friday night as our ?after work beer? drinks finaly drew to a close at 1 o?clock Sat morning.

Anyhow back to the issues at hand. Funacide had to meet all the new faces, but apparently had lots to talk about J

No gravel roads was travelled as we had super bike company, and soon we were admiring the millions of litres of water flowing out the Vaal Dam. Really a spectacular site.

a screaming day glow vest to wear over your riding jacket for all cages to see

After all the phodies we headed for the Flying Saucer restaurant, which was flooded with bikers as everybody had seemingly gone to the dam to watch the water flow.
This dog was enjoying the abundance of water

Manie aka Maniac from the BikeSa forum had struck a bird with his new ?06 Fireblade and the bird went right through the fairing?.

?no idea what speed he was doing , but presumably not the legal one!

Eventually we had our breakfast & could head back home as I had to get to catch the big bird down to George.
