Race Dog
so everything was planned, myself, funtana(nico) and ex dog luther are going to take a saturday ride to oasis with Ex dog Karin a and my familiy in the bakkie.
Nice route worked out over skurfkop, along paleisheuwel to piekeniers kloof, Citrusdal towards ceres and then turn towards oasis.
Get to my first stop funtana on saturday with my family in a Mazda 323 in tow.
The plan to meet Luther in Trawal , move all to the bakkie and continue.
When funtana came out of his house in a short and slops I knew, something came acrop.
Was informed that Luther had to cancel.
my immediate reaction was " af fok man die lighty is so exited oor die naweek" Ons moet maar plan maak en n pad ry wat die mazda ook kan doen.
Funtana het my so bietjie gekyk en se ok, hy ken een wat ok is. Maar ons drink eers n koffietjie.
So we had some coffee and funtana started packing. I sat outside had a few smokes and he comes out with saddles bags and a big bag, and a comment something along the lines, about he might as well have a trip through the Western Cape while he was at it. Ok.
At my insistance we loaded his kit in the mazda, sent the wife and damian on their way to clanwilliam and will meet at the garage.
He eventually got kitted up and we followed. At the garage his child drives past in a car so they have a small chat.
At last we are on our way , Honda in front, KLr second and Mazda following.
Through clanwilliam to the dirt road behind the dam. Here we stop, kit up damian so he can join me on the bike for a while. amanda has the camera in the mazda to take some photo,s. You know, some nice action stuff.
Now damain is only 6 and sitting behind me, his legs are still far from the pegs, so it is a case of holding onto me. The road surface is worn, there is traffic and i want to keep it slow , so that if something happens the the shit won,t be to bad.
We end up having to stop a few times as the mazda is not keeping up. We eventually get to algeria and I see funtana is getting agitated with the pace.
But amanda has a wee behind a bush and he relents, I was patient with him earlier, so he will be patient with my family outing. While waiting for him to finish his cooldrink a bmw 1200 whizzes past. nice guy he waves.
We saddle up and continue. Now the road gets some really bad patches so i stand every now and then. Everytime i sit I am on top of damain as i have a step in my seat and he moves forward, so I have to gently sit on the tank and push him back . This carries on for a good while till I feel his helmet on my back.
He has fallen a sleep.
Funtana had by this time got behind me to wait for the mazda and give instructions on where to turn, while I was contemplating on the best course of action for the child that was asleep, we hit a really bad spot and I had no alternative but to quickly negotiate it before I stop.
Next I hear is "vinniger pappa", he woke up again and was refreshed, The BMW passed me again and I thought WTF, did he get lost or something.
We hit oasis, a while later , disembark , there stands a lone 1200 and a gentleman sipping a windhoek draught, We greet, i get a beer and funtana starts talking.
I smoke.
Ask Amanda to see the photo,s. She murmurs something about, waar die fok moes ek nou tyd kry om foto,s te neem, julle bly ja my weg.
So this thread has no photo,s.
Heard the gentleman ask gerrit if tau or John Webb had booked , answer was no,I volunteered my reliable source of info that tau had said on Wd that him and his father were coming.
his simple answer was I am his father.
oh ok.
toe praat en kuier ons maar verder, sort ons tente uit tot die bikes begin inkom
