Droomers Yamaha fun day

[Fuzzy Muzzy]

I think everyone who went to the Droomers Yamaha Fun day is fast asleep by now, I confess I got home and fell asleep on the couch with the bikes still on the trailer. I was knackered.

It was perfect riding weather and a great turnout, I didn't take many pictures, I was to busy holding onto my bike for dear life after venturing onto the red route. I was so far outside my comfort zone it was not even funny.

Troy had a blast, we did a few laps of the green route together, it was great fun. Great to see some familiar faces and old friends  :thumleft:

Pity I missed getting a picture of Andy660 in a mud pool  :imaposer:

Ja nee ! Ha Ha !
With GJ making  the routes, The Green route , was an Enduro green Route.  That up hill , off camber track with all the loose rocks got me off the bike, there after the route was much better.
When I got to the huge puddle on the way back , I thought ag , its just a big puddle and Im going through it.
I wasnt even 3 m in and the water was suddenly a meter deep and very slippery,so once more 3 Blind Monkeys had to help me pick up the bike, flip , embarising !

But , take my hat off to the guys that set up the route , very well marked, and if the green route was a little difficult , then Im glad I didnt try the red route,

I spent more than an hour in the pits with the Ktm Cape Town rider that had a bad fall,he might have cracked his pelvis.
Hope he got sorted out,

But well done to Droomers well organized and the venue was great.

3 Blind Monkeys ! Thanks for all the help today,it was great to ride with you.

Totally agree with you. I arrived home just in time to entertain visitors with a braai but fell asleep in their company to the embarrassment of my wife  :-[  Only woke up at 9:00 this morning.

Omdat ek vandag ’n slag tyd saam met my vrou moet deur bring gaan ek sommer net die foto's met enkele onderskrifte direk hier op Fuzzy Muzzy se RR post. Voordat  hy hom dalk vervies vir die Afrikaans, hier is hy en sy seun. Terwyl hy nou na homself sit en kyk , gee dit vir my kans om gou-gou nog goed in Afrikaans te pos.  >

You are free to view the photo's in English !

Wat die organiseerders besiel het om my met 'n Transalp op so 'n roete te laat ry sal ek seker nooit verstaan nie maar toe ek eers in was , was daar geen omdraai-kans nie en moes ek maar net my "pose" hou. Die Transalp het gebokspring en geswaai, terwyl ek allerhande spastiese rukkings en goed gekry het. Ek moet darem net sê dat ek die hele roete gery het sonder 'n val terwyl offroad fietse en quads op verskeie plekke om my 'n bietjie sports gemaak het tot die Verleentheid van die ryers. Die feit dat ek die eindpunt heelhuids gehaal het was ook net te danke aan genade van bo. Gabriël en Michael hulle was seker stokflou aan die einde :angel11:

Met my en Eaton, op 'n GS 650 se aankoms, is ons vriendelik ontvang deur Andy660 en Muz hulle. Hier staan vlnr. Eaton, Andy, Fuzzy Muzzy en sy seun, Troy

So 'n paar foto's van die roete, wat natuurlik nooit sal wys hoe dit regtig gelyk het nie omdat dit gewoonlik geneem is op plekke van veiligheid. Daar was natuurlik na 'n vreeslike lang klipperige opdraande ook weer 'n skrikwekkende afdraande.

Die Transalp staan doodluiters bo-op "Moto-cross Hill", terwyl die eienaar sy kamera bewend probeer stil hou  :lol8:
Een van die deurstampe kan duidelik op sy voorwiel gesien word.

 

[Flatout]

GJ en Kriek, was goed om julle te ontmoet

 

[Flatout]

'n Vriendelike Stephanie gee die een bier na die ander aan om my ontwatering teen te werk  ;D

 

[Flatout]

Hierdie twee manne van Droomers, Armand en Wouter, is oud-leerders van my en ons was almal baie verbaas om mekaar weer raak te loop. Dis altyd lekker om iemand onverwags raak te loop, juis op 'n plek waar jy dit nou nooit sou verwag nie.

 

[Flatout]

Hier staan ek voor die kroeg net nadat ek klaar gery het. Moes aan die reling vashou van uitputting.

Die res van die foto's wat ek by Matroosbergstasie geneem het.

 

[Flatout]

nog

Die Quad-bike het nog hier geaarsel, terwyl die GS net eenvoudig deurgery het. Hy moet of 'n baie goeie ryer wees, of dalk is hy 'n  baie goeie akteur wat betyds die kameraman raak gesien het..........dalk is hy albei!

 

[Flatout]

Hier na is ek en Eaton deur die karoo oor Ou Bergpas huis toe op paaie waar ek weer kon flat out ry. Op Droomers se roete was ek slegs in eerste rat flat out. Die Fun Day wat oop was vir dualsport bikes en deur Droomers gereël/geborg is het snaaks genoeg nie een Super Tenere opgelewer nie. Laat mens wonder. Waar was die Demo's, of het ek nou die kat aan die stert beet?

 

[Flatout]

Foto's van ons terug tog huis toe. Het bo-op Oubergpas nog 'n klomp bekende Wilddogs raak geloop. Raak gery sal nie hier werk nie en tog het ons nie geloop nie.  :ricky:

Die gelukkige lot was oppad na Veldbrand se plek toe
