Well this morning we met at the garage as Wes suggested (Wes next time let us chose a meeting place that serves breakfast, or at least coffee). From here on it was just a ball of excitement for the rest of the day. Firstly this was my first ride with the wild dogs, so I get to meet a whole bunch of guys I shall ride with again anytime. Today I learned that dogs look after there own. The guys were so friendly they even requested I ride (pillion) with them, and they nearly all took a turn at this. I really felt like a star.
Now I have just a few â??issuesâ? to sort out on Sunday, then I can hopefully reveal the full extent of the trip. Oh yes, least I digress too much, we (together with about another 100 friendly bikers) met Charlie & Ewan at Lâ??Agulhas, and we (yes a whole bunch of us) rode with them to Millerton. Now I am not accustomed to have a car with flashing blue and red lights ride in front of me (have experienced this behind me, then we would stop or a chat). Also this is the first time that I have seen a GS1200 (fully kitted) wheelie right behind a cop car on a public road, and no one complains.
Hopefully I shall be able to post a bit of good news (for me) soon.
p.s. It appears to me that if anyone wants to attend a BMW. function on anything other than a BMW, the gremlin shall try and get you.
