I enjoyed today, and far more than last year. Sure there were not that many bikes in Midrand, but in a way I was quite pleased. Last year there were a number of riders who did not keep a reasonable, whatever that is, following distance and I nearly got caught in a few concertinas. This year there seemed to be far less ego and impatience in the pack was nice to ride in.
I suspect we may have been one of the first packets there, and that was good. Mrs Roux found a shady seat for us (me and Zerc) and the queues for a bite and beer were not bad.
I had a good day, and thanks to Mr and Mrs Roux and Zerc for the company. After leaving I joined my son for brunch at Hyde Park Corner - a bit of a different culture from Nasrec, and then had a sundowner drink with LeonDude at the Centurion Dros. Got to bed thinking "what a really lekka Sunday"
And I want to thank them for not laughing at me too hard. While waiting I decided to do a few slow figures of 8 on the grass at the start to get better with the Ten's throttle and EFI. Unfortunately I messed up one and nearly ended up in the electric fence and laid the Ten down. No harm to anything but my ego.

Must find some soft grass, get some cones, and do some more where there are not a thousand bikers watching.
