Race Dog
We left home for our departure at 6h10, got there with fellow dogs, and had a nice chat, almost missing our time to leave. We went via Pretoria North, Brits road, over the N4, and onto the road past the south of the dam. Stopped for petrol, and headed to ADA.
Just outside ADA a BMW hit something on the road, and papers all over. As I got there I was in a money shower. Stopped, got the wallet, cards and cash together, and drove to ADA.
After the usual warm welcome from Mark, I contacted the wallet owner(Alan) wife. Her first, and obvious reaction was – is he ok? After telling her he is ok, I actually have good news, we made arrangements to get in touch.
Back to the restless crowd, and getting the ride report from Mark.
My info was turn left into the road, go to the t junction, turn right and continue to the t junction, then left, and just over the bridge, onto the gravel road, they will come through there. And off whet the riders, posing for there pics.
I had a quick chat to Alan before we left, he was at Moulin Rouge at the time. We had a nice ride, not many bikers as most was at the toy run. Eventually we arrive at the right place, where we met Alan (One happy rooinek) but never saw the Dogs. I think they all got lost.
So after playing with the cam a bit, we set out to Beestekraal Restaurant, to be there by 12. Nice ride, more pics until we hit that bloody road outside Brits – Pothole County. We crawled at 65km/h to Greens and took the boots of for a breather. After about 25 min I decided they can’t be that far behind, so I called Topie – no answer.
We got dressed, and headed past Beestekraal Restaurant to see if we spot them, but only KTM’s outside there – hello hondsekierie en Smokes. As we turned around and set the GPS destination Home, Topie called. They just pulled into Greens. So we headed back, greeted by a tired, but happy bunch of bikers.
Quick lunch, and when Mark say quick, he means quick. Pay now, eat later. And off most of them went, more gravel ahead. Some started heading home. About 10km from Beestekraal we found a Blue Super Ten, major accident. Rider and pillion alive, but serious injuries. A ER24 helicopter was dispatched to airlift them.
At the same time I lost one of the nuts holding the exaust to the manifold, so my bike was noisy, backfiring like a Hardley Davidson, and lost some power. That all fixed now, so let me go mow the lawn.
I will load pics soon.
Tx Mark and Malibu. Ingilsman enjoy her birthday saddletime, even though not on gravel yet.
