KLR Walkerville Sunday 2009.05.10

[cono]

SlowMow & Caroline. The smile on Mrs SlowMow says it all and the ride had not yet started.

Doctor KLR

Don't let the Dakar tank sticker fool you, it's really a KLR

Even KTM riders all wish they had KLR's

The climb up the Ski Slope. A brave rider, getting up halfway.

Ski Slope Top.

Biker doing the downhill

Great crossing through long wild grass

Mud Mosters were wide and deep...close calls for some riders

Eager to get across and under the bridge

Don't forget to wash behind the ears ..boys. Half way across there is a drop of about 1/2 metre, which is scary. A couple of stalls in the water, but no drownings reported.

Almost down, but rescued before dropping.

The wanna-be KLR, really enjoying the slip and slide

The final run down, heading towards Henley-On-Klip and Boswell Wilke Circus.

Classic Quotes of the Day

Rider to Doctor KLR at 07:30, in the very cold morning, before the ride....
"Hey, Graham...howz about you wake up your wife to make us some coffee".
Our host was too scared of his missus, so he brought out the kettle, coffee and even ...yes...cold choclate milk........ I wondered what would happen if I asked for toast with jam.

Mrs SlowMow to Cono, after she crossed a rather large mud monster, waiting for SlowMow to arrive.....
"I don't trust you, you fall too much" ....this after SlowMow said he was not going to cross over and will tar it to the next point. She was stranded and was not going to walk across again to SlowMow. I offered to ride her over, but she got onto the BMW. "SNOB".

We sat down for lunch at the BlockHouse Wimpy, in the fish bowl smoking section. 12 dirty and wet WildDogs walked in and the Sunday/Mothers day Dinners, gobbled down their food and left in a hurry.
Rider said..... "Now let's move and sit in the non-smoking section, we'll have the whole Wimpy to ourselves".

SlowMow lost power on the bike at one stage. I was tired of pushing him down the gravel road and the bike would not start. Graham got on and a small push and the bike started up again. SlowMow says " How did you do that" I said .."He turned on the ignition" ....he looked confused.

The classic that morning was Doctor KLR's 2x poodles trying to "hump" the Alsatian ........ someone said ... "maybe you should give that dog a box to stand on".
Real Wild Dogs in action, in the cold early hours of the morning.

I'll not be missing the next ride. Thanks Guys and Doll for a great day.
