Thanks GRUNT, for convening this ride, and all the effort put into it. :thumleft: Being minus my big trailie (Due to rebuild - we wont go there now) I took the little Yammi 400XT, which my daughter & I run around with. So, OK, I had the smallest bike on the run, but jirre, it had a BIG heart. The run from Centurion to Hiedelberg Wimpy was straight down the slab, and uneventful.
Then I meet Laurika at the petrol pump,(With her RED booties) and she Karks, me out before even saying good morning, because I’m wearing my BMW Rally Pro II jacket, and riding the Yammi. WTF!! For a moment I thought, sh*t, this is a bad, bad start to our relationship for the day.
We start at the Wimpy, and its all smiles once she is undressed ( all the riding gear off!!)
Now what did you owes think ?? :ricky: Huh !!
Then she gets around to shaking every paw. Here its OROS, and CARROTS (F*KK&N Stout – There is just no other description)
All in All 34 bikes pitch. GREAT !!
For the KLR fans on this forum, EAT YOUR HEART OUT.
And the GURU, himself, DR KLR
I must say, this is a real neat KLR, and runs like a rocket. DEFINITELY NOT standard !
Then we did a bit of tar, until just outside town, before turning south onto the nice stuff. There after, very interesting, varied road conditions to challenge us all.
OROS
Cyclops (Green KLR) and Son on his left, on his KLE
Young student couple. This mannetjie rides that 800GS like hell, even with his mooi pillion on the back ( RESPECT)
Cyclops again, pulling in at a stop, on the Vereeniging – Balfour road.
Then the SANDMONSTER reared his head. This young dog, fell just as he stopped. Sorry pel, this happens in the very best of families, not to mention THE PACK
Others taking it real careful here.
Even GRUNT, walked back to help the real newbie’s. Here he is seen watching Laurika, whilst walking back to his bike.
GRUNT the convener of this occasion.
He is seen here, “wondering where the moer all this sand came from”. He rode this last Wednesday and cannot remember it.
So we all got clear of this bad section of sand. Here, I must seriously suggest these dawgs, who were intimidated by the sandmonster, must arrange with MILKYBAR, for another weekend in Hoopstad to tame this “monster”
Another rest, waiting for the guys to catch up.
We reach Villiers, and all bunch up again, at the narrow bridge crossing before town.
Dirt Mad couple
Laurika doing her thing. (She is supposed to be the official run photographer)
So we get through town and head east , across the N3 toward Balfour. And somehow, we ALL miss this sign.
Eventually a dog or two, chase everyone down, and get them to turn back. Now I get the best shots of the day, as they all come back, and turn nice and slowly in front of me.
Everyone coming back.
This guy passes me, even when I show him he must turn, He He.
The couple again. (Jirre Lekker om jonk to wees!) en grond to ry
Last of all, OROS
Th e venue has this neat chapel.
The bikes parked at the venue
And here the dogs start to KUIR.
The bar, lounge, dining room and pool are all in one huge room. GREAT
A picture of the chalets
Outdoor Pool
So we all enjoyed drinks, and lunch. An “Honesty Bucket”, was organised for the payment of the lunch. Lunch was lekker and real cheap. So I decided to EXTORT more money from these dogs to give to the lodge for entertaining this “pack”. You know, use and abuse of all the amenities. Nice cut lawns to sit on etc, etc. Real metal knife and forks, (Not plastic thingies) etc. This all has to get washed up etc. The EXTORTION exercise netted R 270.00 + a couple of cents. THANKS guys. :thumleft: I’m sure this lodge will not hesitate allowing us to visit again. (hint, hint Grunt!)
Once again, Thanks GRUNT for organising, and providing us all with a wonderful day out riding, with good company, and so on. Then FINALLY, thank heavens there were no serious ‘OFFS” or anyone hurt. (That I know of)
I suppose most of us will see each other at the FS Bash. Drive safely all. :thumleft:
