Race Dog
National bashes on Wilddogs were always the one event in the year where all members got to meet up again from different parts of SA.
It was traditionally an event filled with laughter and camaraderie and the odd naughtiness mixed in.
Any new members also had the momentous advantage of meeting the keyboard jockeys on the forum face to face.
It used to be something to look forward to and still remains the one place where mates from all over the country could meet up, have a beer or two and exchange riding stories and tall tales around the campfire. For me it was the glue that held this forum together and gave it a sort of purpose.
Has the time arrived when this 10 year old tradition is just a distant memory?
Is nobody even going to try and revive it?
Have the powers that be lost all inclination or need to keep it going?
I believe the essence of this forum is to meet likeminded riders and build lasting friendships
I got to meet the legend from Prieska ETS
My mate Cocky ad BUD500 are still some of my best friends.
Hentie, Carrots, Stoetie and others..............Mates one can rely on and have developed into personal freindships............too many to mention
We have had our kakmaak moments on bashes.
Who can forget the Freestate bash just before the 2010 bash at van der Kloof dam?
Most of my current friends are all wilddogs but it seems as if the tradition is fading and the need to meet a dying ember'
Last year there was a half arsed attempt by some brave guys (cudos for trying) to keep it going
Will this year follow suit and initiate the end of an era?
