As Joe Rocket put it:  "Ons gaan bietjie kom kuier en jou plek oorneem!"

The same silly bunch, and a few new ones pulled into my friendly watering hole on Friday afternoon, for Saturday's ride with the Moto Avontuur guys of Mouton van Zyl from Greyton to Baardskeerdersbos via Riviersonderend, Napier, Elim and a sleepover at Baardskeerdersbos, known as B-bos to the locals, home of the infamous Manie Boontjie of the Baardskeersbos-orkes.

Beautiful weather, we sat quietly outside....

We were graced with a back-up vehicle supplied and specially sign-writed by by Joe Rocket, aptly dubbed "Flash"!

Then, as the strapdoppe started doing its thing, it has turned some into movie caracters...."My name is Darth Vader, master of the Dark Side......"  (Katoom)

Mrs Uil, Buys and a totally disinterested Katoom!

No pics of the ride to B-bos, but then again, in true fashion, Joe Rocket's bike gets carried into the Strandveld Pub through the kitchen.....

Don't worry, it was done with a wipe-off board marking pen!

The very friendly staff at Strandveld Pub & Venue in B-bos.

So we went off to Struisbaai to stay there, as it was only our (Kat's) job to show the route, and we left B-bos.  We all had to go, as Flash, who carried our luggage, had to rush to aid a friend with a new BMW HP2 with drive shaft failure......must've looked cool....an HP2 on a trailer behind a KTM support vehicle...hehehehehe!

En route to Struisbaai, Katoom with Kat in hot pursuit.

Nice wheelie there Katoom!
