The Bushpig Thumper Bash - Bankfontein farm - 12-14 April 2024 - Two Nights off line! & RR

[petri oosthuizen]

En vandag lekker terug via Marquard, die keer die regte Marquard.
Baby, die petrol Dame op Paul Roux, het vir my n pic geneem met die woorde "Djisssssis what a mechiien".
My hele menswees, my siel en verstand, hoop nog steeds dat Baby bedoel het die bike is die "mechien", maar ek dink so.
Ek lyk soos n swanger hommelby op die XT.
En ek konnie my pens intrek vir Baby nie, ek het 2 moer sterk samoosas op Rosendal gevreet wat al toe klaar beginne gesels het.

Ons het die reen gekry do halfpad tussen Jagersfontein en Bloem... toe raak dit vir jou koud!

Ek het so LIGTE reen so net voor Bloem gekry, maar nikd serious nie.
Was nogal lucky, ek het genuine baie min reen gekry.
Paaie vandag was ook "klam", maar baie nice

 

[petri oosthuizen]

O ja skuus laaste een...1212 Km gery in total, en ELKE km was seriously, seriously baie enjoyable
Nogmaals BAIE dankie Almal

Hyt nou so 72000 op
Maar Previous Seller het hom redelik volledig oorgedoen, het haar op so rondom 60000 km by hom gekoop.
Maar enjin en carb is rerig PERFECT, nog nooit olie gegooi tussen services nie.
Sal haar maar nou service, haar seat weer upholster, front fender plastidip, ........ klein goetertjies.
Wil sommer more weer service parts bestel (maar ek het nog meeste van dit dink ek), en lekker olietjies kry.
Maar sy kos my genuine BAAAAIE min aan issues - klein lekkies hier en daar en so aan, maar alles is gesort.

Hiers ek by Moertoeverdwaalfontein, en ook by Nogsteedsverdwaalfontein.
Mooi plekke.

Tog asb daai plekkies se GPS koördinate stuur, lyk omtrent na mooi plekkies.

 

[Tommy Transalp]

Lekka mense!...... Looks like it was a really good joll.....

Well done Rob and the organisers!

 

[Puls0nic]

I am sure I met him once, or was it you Odd Dog, at a MOTHs boerie sale in Dana Bay.

Yip it was me. You were there with the missus and Fox was braaiing the wors.

Yip it was me. You were there with the missus and Fox was braaiing the wors.

Indeed! I thought your name rang a huge bell.

 

[RobCrouch]

Just @Ri still gallivanting about... The rest of us are all home. Safe travels!

 

[RobCrouch]

I really think this bash should become the Vlakvark Bash... we had a few close shaves with the beasts...
Here is an ode to the Warthog... https://maroelamedia.co.za/afrikaans/gedigte/gedig-vlakvers/

Back home and online ( power had been off for 36 hours when i arrived on Tuesday ). Peter Gage (XR650) and I had traversed some increasingly elusive-to-read wet gravel , the roads wetter as we moved south, slower due to the difficulties, dodging ominously building storms behind and west and east of us, but avoiding the muddy fate that befell Warrick and Ri, whose itinerary was seriously compromised...

We got to Peperboom Camp just before dark, and then 3 hours of steady thunderstorm ensued.

Anyway, the point needs to be re-iterated: it was a great bash, not least because of the sterling work put in by Rob and Ally. No question now: it is their bash - vlakvark or bushpig (regardless of the fact that the original suggestion for a DR-themed gathering came from @Ri and myself; I also suggested Bankfontein as a venue, because I'd been there , and I knew what amazing people Valeri and Joop are...).

Rob is the meneer, and braaiking without the residue of alphamalehood - and Ally is his powerhouse. I suspect this bash will always be small, but it will thrive if its present format is maintained.

Saluut!

Rob ja stem 200% saam met Warrick.
Jy kan my naam maar solank opsit vir die volgende Bankfontein.
UNBELIEVABLE gewees, seriously
