    ATGATT? Only learnt about that today!

    First time I saw the term used, was on a post on here today -- I learnt to ride in SA. Never wore anything more than flip-flops and shorts... even rode to school every day, right up to final year, wearing my SCHOOL DRESS, ankle socks & babydoll shoes. Scrapes, bruises and roasties were part...

    Water baptism in Namibia...

    As my feet were swept of the footpegs, and I clung to the handlebars for dear life, I had a distinct feeling of being dragged behind a boat with waterski's on. It all had to do with the fact, that we had been riding since dawn. Keeping focussed was virtually impossible, as each 10 dusty yards...

    Hello boys!

    Hello boys! Well, we've worn out the pommie blokes with all our biker-girl antics - so I thought I'd move on to see if boys raised on biltong and braaivleis would last a little longer.  :pot: (I'm hoping this emoticon :pot: actually means "stirring shit again" and not "I will stay in the...
