North Coast ride 9 January 2011

[chicco]

Raymond is leaving for Aus the end of the month so we arranged a sort of farewell ride. It was also a opportunity to recce and track the first stretch of the sodwana ride in March. There was a lot of rain the last couple of days that made for some interesting water crossings.

Hendrik's yamaha (his first ride with the new bike) went for a swim, luckily he managed to kill the ignition before the bike was completely submerged.

Nice ride there Chicco, brings back lekker memories. Please send Ray my best wishes.

Is that Ryan taking his big Katoom in the bush........ good one, he needs to get it dirty once in a while....lol. As for that fancy lid... :thumleft:

 

[chicco]

Yes its Ryan, I eventually managed to convince him to join us for a ride. He also had his moment.....I was to slow with the camera...... :biggrin:

Ryan "understands" the principles of horsepower, gravity and momentum....

He asked me to send regards to you and Fran.

Hey thanks Chicco  :thumleft: Well done on convincing. We spent a lekker time up at the roof as I helped support Anthony Drysdale and Ryan told me that he wont take his big Katoom or that helmet in the bush.  Cant have that.

Please send rgds back.

Cheers

That was another "WOW" ride with Raymond. Him and his unfailable sense of direction will be missed.

No need to come down here via the dentist, just hit the road. a Visit from you and Mark is long overdue.
