Was an awesome weekend. Nice meeting the faces behind the forum names and meeting up with old friends. Family joined me on this one and they thoroughly enjoyed it. My sons first bash. Maybe now he will sign up.
See you on the road

roxenz and makslang just got home safe and sound. Rode just perfect dirt roads through the Free State on our way home. Thanks to everyone who pitched in to make it happen! Legends, every one of you.

Special thanks to Leondude, Cavegirl, Louw and Albert who made the bash last until this morning - great company.

Must say that I also enjoyed the kuier immensely. :thumleft:

Someone mentioned over the weekend that the Wilddog clan may be a dying breed because the attendance was mainly by grys koppe.
Partly because the mere cost of actually getting on your bike, packed with camping gear and traveling 1000+ km's for a weekend party seems to get a bit out of hand. Todays fuel prices a R1/km will leave you with a 2 -3k fuel bill if you travel 1000+ k's to get there.

Lets make an effort to try and involve the younger generation and newbys in the bashes
We need them to take it forward and keep this amazing community alive.
Even if you can not attend any other bashes throughout the year, make sure that you can attend the national bash at any cost and start planning for it early :deal:
I missed some of the older dogs like Cocky, Snafu and Boer there. Circumstances preventing i'm sure.

The rest of the Cape contingent with Briv and Anda, Blinkes and Ball and Chain had a lekke trip from the WC up the eastern cape coast and through Lesotho which i'm sure was worth every km. Post some pics guys :thumleft:

Please tell us your story of the trip here and post some pics of the places you visited
I had an opportunity to get my ass up on a table in the bar and took some worthy pics..........
Enjoy..........
