PE Sunday ride & encounters of a strange kind.... nope not talking about Bakkie!

[TornadoF5]

Well Bakkie and I were going to go alone for a ride he planned outside PE a route approx 280km's or so I wasn’t measuring, so nice quick morning out in the fresh air and home for the wives by 12:00!
Ok so I decided to invite one actually another 3 people, Dave on his 640, Kurt on his AT (with road tyres quite impressive... sure I would have fallen) and Quintus with his GS800
Throw in 1 kewl route 5 comedians and some bikes and the plot was set for a good day  :ricky:

 

[TornadoF5]

Guyz all arriving at some t-junction somehwere in the dirt a great day brilliant weather and our nuts are warm....

 

[TornadoF5]

Kurt knew to look kewl he would have to ditch the AT and pose next to the pig.....

 

[TornadoF5]

And in true fashion we had the 640 brigade of Bakkie and Dave who we will call "Footlong 4 short......"

 

[TornadoF5]

Quintus arriving after nearly being caught out on one of those "looks like it may go straight roads with a  suprise 90 deg turn...."  :mwink:

Guyz I'm ok look.....

 

[TornadoF5]

Then off to Canon Rocks via Woodycape beutiful scenic ride pity everyone was racing sorry didn't stop and take photos only Bakkie was stopped by some farm workers on a tractor for an emergency cigarette........

Of course we all know how much Bakkie loves a camera.......

Dave was right behind me when we arrived and went missing..... only to find out a little old lady drove into him. Fortunately he was ok and the bike was ok but the car came off 2nd best.

I try to take a picture of the 4 of us (Quintus had to leave) but couldn't get Kurt in as much as I tried. I reckon I should have used the flash   :biggrin:

Saw some bikes there as we came past
there were about twenty of us on the way to Bathurst for breakfast

why? maybe....  what did the ostrich say? it wasn't me!

 

[TornadoF5]

So we proceed out of Alexandria on a dirt road to the Karel Landman monument where Kurt "Atlas" saves the world!!!!

 

[TornadoF5]

Then off to Amakhala nature reserve where Bakkie said we gonna see some elephants. By this time we were all craving elephant steaks and Dave had the kershaw ready....  but what is that strange looking elephant strolling up our way....

Well lets put it this way everyone had 1 down 4 up and a reverse to the side....... So by this time after 4 bikes lined up abreast of the encounter of a different kind I'm saying guys just relax switch off the bikes and....... huh I look and suddently Dave peels off in a u-turn Kurt is swingingh the AT and Bakkie is trying to fin a gear.... well any gear.....

 

[Zeff Cowboy]

Well unfortunatly Quiton didn't make it................ :'(



he had to leave early to get home before 11 ;D

 

[TornadoF5]

Now Dave is approx 5 km's up the road watching, Kurt is hiding behind a bush 2km's up the road and Bakkie comes up with a brilliant idea of me getting off my bike, taking off my gloves, taking out my camera all while he turns his bike around and postions it rear facing the rhino idling in first gear with one eye on the mirror (see attached pic) and the other on the throttle incase he forgets where it is when the rhino charges..... andf I must take a photo.

Lets not 4get I'm the one off the bike taking the photo... I'm a tree .... I'm a tree..... I'm a tree....

Well shortly after we see Dave making a brave return after the rhino just swung left only to piss it off and have it try charge a 640 KTM doing 160km/h...... Now it's pissed off and starts straring at me (yep I was back on the bike idling away) and thought well now I've played my nature lover and gave to cracks on the throttle from the pig with Matsumotto pipes and that made the message load and clear there was something more intimidating coming on!

Well that was our day out and a good ride was had by all with Kurt showing us how kak it is to try keep up on knobblies on the tar!


ThHE END
