Sorry Rynet that I missed your birthday ride. My best wishes for the year ahead.
You lost your fear of heights, the Sandmonster doesn't scare you  - what's next?
 
Happy Birthday Rynet, may this be a foretaste of the year ahead, conquering fear and reaching new heights ( or downhills  :D) well done and all the best  :thumleft:
 
Baie Geluk met jou Bday Dame!! Hoop jy het Super Stunning dag!!  :thumleft: :thumleft:
 
Heita. Happy birthday Renette. Go for it.  :thumleft:

The lil downhill that got me so stumped. I watched the others all doing it till I was sick of watching. SuperT kept saying its your birthday you have to do it so I went for it . Its quite scary because when you take off you just see fresh air, yikes. But it was not so bad, those bikes are heavy and tend to move down by themselves without any help from the rider required . :imaposer:

Only CapeKLR did the biggest hill in the Quarry. It's circle with the table top part very sandy so you cannot guarantee that you will be straight when you come down , also you have to turn right as you arrive at the top. Its rutted from side to side , the right slope has two ledges to make you run out of steam and the left slope is quite a bit off - camber as CapeKLR proved to us. The rest of us thought the odds were too high that we would not make it , we going to wait till we ride a bit better. Nice of you to do that so eloquently CapeKLR and to even work a lil fall in to show us how dangerous it is.  :mwink:

To my amazement CapeKLR immediately jumped on his bike and promptly executed the maneuver again and came down successfully this time , I was impressed , that is how it is done, if you fall off a horse get back immediately. ( I would have stopped and caught my breath first but I guess some people are more tough ) :thumleft: :thumleft:

Some neat riding in that quarry....lekka fun there!!!  :ricky:
 
Thanks Renet! Am busy dismantling bike now, soon will have new steering head bearings,which means more quarry!
 
Superten having falled his little ball bearings off :mwink:

peering into his Yammie and wishing it was a Beemer  :laughing4: just joking

More like peering and seeing a BMW spanner is not going to work. Ag thanks Super T for being such a good sports .  :3some:


Monkey boy and I escorted him home and it was painful ( and a bit funny ) watching him not being able to turn that big maching of his. :ricky:

ST hope you get your bearings soon .  :thumleft:

Always amazing to see the things Rynet does on her bike  :eek:

Puts a lot of us to shame, .... well at least me!

Hope you had a pleasant day  :thumleft:
 
ag ja, so my yammy little bearings failed.Not bad for 22 year old bearings, with 150 000+ km's.not bad at all. Funny that the BMW rider carries tools though....I wonder if it means anything.

Incidentally,that ride back was nerve racking!

Happy - Happy Rynet! May you have many more.
Looks like you guys had fun! :thumleft:
 
Baie geluk Rynet mag daar nog baie jare sonder enige oopsies wees  :laughing4:

Padrone
 
Impressive Lady!

Never mind becoming the best lady rider on WD, but probably better that 90% of the guys as well. Can't wait to see what you can do on a lighter machine.

Monkeyboy got excited?! What did you guys do to him?  :peepwall:

The quarry is a nice controlled environment to practice.
