[Ama ride ride]

Nice report. Glad Peaches is mending well.

 

[bmad]

Thanks for the report and sharing 

Pity to see a well planned holiday trip cut short for the wrong reasons, but most importantly, a bike can be replaced and peaches looks in great spirits after such a short time.

Heal well Peaches and we look forward dome more riding :thumleft:

Awesome to read about the WD camaraderie ;D

 

[toucan]

i hope peaches gets well soon and is not in too much pain. the sooner she gets back on a bike the better. is there an orange in her future?

 

[Beemer man]

Shoo!! Kurt reading this even after you telling me all on Saturday brought a lump to my throat, was very touched by the Wilddog response to your dreadful situation, am very proud to be a part of this group also.Was not nice to see Carol in such obvious pain, I pray for her speedy recovery and that she's back on a scoot soon.
Thank You also very much for what you did for me on Saturday I can't tell you how generous it was.

Glad Peaches is okay... jeez that whole experience must have been rough for all of you.

and a big hand to the WD spirit.

Hi Adventurer,

Thanks for the stickers and nice meeting you guys. That bike took a tremendous knock and it is fortunate that everything worked out OK.

Hope you get the new bike soon.

 

[Stofstreep]

Sjoe!!
Intense!!!
Thanks for sharing. Peaches, hope you are back on a bike soon.

 

[Watty]

Best wishes to you, Peaches and Cherry.  May things only get better from here onwards.  BTW I bet that Peaches will be ready to take one of the Serow's out for a run in the very near future ....

 

[SuperJuice]

So glad to read this story as I was wondering what happened.

Very happy things worked out well in the end.

Get well soon Peaches, glad you're recovering well.

Thanks for posting that.  Nothing was said of Cherry's reaction at the time of the ghastly discovery (you would hardly have noticed) and over the next few days as the nightmare became your altered normality.  And now, how is she coping with it all?  A defining event in her life to see her mother like that.

Cherry was very strong, when we found Peaches lying in the veld, she had immediate concern as is normal, she helped me get Peaches back to the road where we sat her down in the shade of Pedro Camara's car, she dusted as many ants off Peaches as she could, at no stage did she panic and was a pillar of strength to me.
After Peaches was put in the car, Cherry helped me sort out the bike stuff, and once we had loaded all of Peaches' luggage onto my bike, there was no hesitation, she hopped onto my bike and off we went, making sure none of the luggage fell off.
At the Ceres hospital she was offered a ride to CT in the chopper, she accepted without hesitation, it also made it easier for me to high tail it to CT without having to worry about Cherry's wellbeing on the back of my bike.
I understand she was a bit emotional in the chopper, maybe the shock caught up with her, but when I arrived in CT she had everything under control and was emotionally stable.
Some of this very mature behaviour can be put down to the fact that she had kidney cancer when she was 6, she went through hell then during chemo and radiation, but came out of it a stronger person, she is now 12.
During the next few days in CT she was fantastic, never moaned about the circumstances, her holiday moer toe, once home she is nagging for us to go and ride, her little Honda is still one of the loves of her life. there has been no obvious trama, but we are watching her anyway.
I fetched her from school the other day on the Triumph Rocket that I had, absolutely no problem, and the envy of all the other kids. ;D

 

[LuckyStriker]

You are a lucky man to have such a fantastic family
and I'm sure they are lucky to have you as their man-o-the-house

 

[Stofstreep]

Wow! that is one cool kid you have there ADV.

 

[Goose]

Adv, Peaches and Cherry... what more can one say in response to your ride report that has not already been said. Great meeting you guys ... pity about the circumstances? but I am sure that the experience has left everyone much the richer for it.

Tell Peaches that her and our incentive for the future is that we would have the honoured opportunity to share a ride with your family (yep and other Dawgs too..) - Cape Town will always welcome you in our midst...

Well done to your fantastic daughter as well - what an absolute blessing you have to have someone so young, yet so strong and supportive.

Please remember we are always only a phone-call away!

As for the trip... all summed up in a three letter word....

"WOW" !!!!  ;D

 

[Raggety]

ADV, Peaches and Cherry.  From the ride report I can tell that you are a great family.  Thanxs for the report, glad the report has this good ending. Blessings, hope to meet you in person

 

[serf]

Glad to hear that everything worked out well in the end after the accident.

I read that Pedro Camara's dad was murdered recently!!!!!! Wish all these damn murders would end.
