Ja, Hennie Warnich. En het jy 'n probleem daarmee, huh?

Hey kort mannetjie!! Gedra jouself!!  :ricky: ;D

Gelukkig kry ek nie skielik 'n "maagpyn" voordat ek saam met kort mannetjies moet drink nie...  >:D

Johnny en voordat ek vergeet, ek dink julle hele idee was BEF*K!

Die &%*# alleen weet, daar sal altyd kla-gatte wees. Gelukkig hoe julle hulle nie saam te nooi nie.  ;)
 
I dunno, leaves me feeling kinda wierd.., not sure why, just really wierd. ???
 
Jacko, stem 100% saam met jou. Laat Hennie vir jou iets hieroor in meer detail skryf.
 
That looked absolutely awesome. This is what good memories are made of !!!

do you think you could bling the bike back to life.... ;) ;D
 
Very strange indeed  :eek7: Suppose if I have to ask why then I am to dumb to understand anyway so won't  ::)


Somewhere there is a laatie out there with big aspirations to become a Wild Dawg one day, hopefully the next time a group of okes can go out to verneukpan and rebuilt it around a big fire instead of destroying it.

For those who don't get it, I think this is the inspiration:

Okes burn out their GSXR 1000 engines at ralleys, I don't see whats wrong with burning an old 2 smoker that's not a classic (yet  :biggrin:)
 
Andy, I could not have said it better. You're 1000% spot on.

Aaiirree Rasta!!!

Aaaahh I think I get it now only that you did not get charged money to go burn the bike at Verneukpan like the other sites :biggrin: Should of said from the beginning it is free dammit  :ricky: Still weird though  :eek7:
 
Its STUPID shit like this that gets bikers banned all over the place !!!
 
I thought I would come back to this thread just to see the response and different ideas people have.

My goodness, just what I expected, like Jacko said, there will ALWAYS be kla-gatte, no matter what you do.  People leave their R200k cars or R140k bikes parked in the sun 365 days a year....does that not "hurt" you more?

I for one liked their burning exercise........just let them be, FFS!
 
If you want to burn your bike, do it!  Afterall it is your property, and if you want to be wasteful and destructive, you are the loser in the end IMO.

BUT, why go and do it somewhere in the nature.  Even if you claim to have "clean-up" everything, some sh@t will remain!  As mentioned,  you are seen by other people in a very negative way, and before you know yet another publication in the Gov. Gazette:   "No motorcycles allowed on Verneukpan, or anywhere off-road for that matter!"

A very bad move !  Very bad!  :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
 
soos n klomp ou tannies met nat broeke

::) ::)

fokkit people - some of you really need to lighten up a bit.
 
Its not about "hurting" me you ........  , its about hurting the environment, and disturbing an area where others would also like to visit.

I don't give a dam about some fool wanting to set a perfectly good bike on fire. Why doesn't he do it in his own yard. Where the only person having to look at the remains is HIM ( or her ) !

Don't even get me started about the FIRE-WORKS !!!
Did you A$$H@%$# ever think about the people that come to that pan to see the birds and the wild-life ???
 
Dis nou die tipe shit wat ek op WD verwag. Hier deel 'n mede WD of biker of vriend sy naweek weg saam met julle. Hy doen moeite om foto's vir julle te wys. After all, dis sy Ride Report en die moun-gatte kom faark dit op.

As jy nie iets goed te se het vir iemand nie, hou jou bek. Dis ons Suid-Afrikaners se probleem.
Kla in jou moer in oor alles.

Spaar my om so 'n kla-gat te ontmoed.

Johnnie Bok, befok, dankie. Iets anders 'n slag. Goeie foto's :thumleft:
 
It is quite interesting and surprising, to say the least, to read some of the above comments........so I will enlighten/inform those who are a bit dazed and confused.....

I happen to know some of the guys and girls that went on this trip and I, for one, think this was the most original/awesome/mindboggling idea EVER!!

Alot of planning and preperation went into this trip and everything came together +- 2years later. Obviously, one of their concerns was, the burning of The Bike in such a beautiful, remote and unspoilt location. Therefore, they contacted the farmer/owner of that specific part of the pan and explained to him what they are planning to do.
He(the farmer) was very excited about this idea and gave the go-ahead. Once again I'll be stating the obvious, but the major concern was the "waste" factor. Throughout the duration of the event, the farmer was kept in the loop and even joined the Main Event. When everything was packed up and they were ready to leave, the farmer came and inspected the "war zone" and was so pleased by the way these bunch of bike/nature lovers behaved, cleaned up and respected the location, that he extended an invitation to host them again next year....!

I guess what I am trying to explain to people like Bospadda and Buzz is the following:
When judging other people and their actions, one usually do it only to your own frame of referance and do not know the "other" side of the story....what you would've done, is not neccessarily what other people will do......

Well done to Johnnie Bok and your fellow riders. You are an inspiritation to many that embrace the way of alternative thinking and I would be honoured to ever have the opportunity to ride with you okes...! Saluut!!
