When fowl heads dont think we had just taken delivery of two brand new GS 1200 ADVENTURES from our local BM agent Joel.
We set off immediately on a ride that took us too Kinkel Bos turn and rode along the gravel coast rode towards Alexandria truly great area to ride
After a stop for a coke and a chat we headed towards the N10 to the Krom River turn off. Buhda and the uncle as i am refer ed to set off towards the Zoo Berg inn some 41 km away .
Both felt really happy with our purchase riding well within our capabilities ja my brag so het ons gedink
Dogs where we in for asurprise this HUGH motor cycle was not like anything I road many years ago when I was a ROAD TRAFFIC ENGINEER BUDHA WAS THE FIRST TO TO CHECK HIS RIDING CAPABILITIES when he found himself flat on his back after going into a small patch of mud toe was dit hande foete sterre en modder
That small spot of mud is all it took The rest of the trip was taken in our stride reaching home just before supper time which the squatter had prepared
The next morning at the crack of dawn around 9.30 we gathered on the Elands road which would take us to Patensie then on to Mooordenaaars Kloof Budha sy Pa my grandson and myself
As we road along Elands River road we past WIDE HORIZON this is the place COWBOY MILLS made famous when I was a laaaaaatie Dogs as Selly say COWBOY MILLS had an odor exactly like his pet lion OSCAR VICTOR now dogs that is a real heap of sleeps ago
We travelled at a rapid pace reaching Assegaaibos station where we rested We had no sooner gone into limp mode when OUPA Gerald was attacked by a mean mother of mothers thank the Gods Oupa Gerald who taught girl guides in his younger days ONE TWO FIDDLE FUM DINGALING and all those things and we where safe from this mother of a puffer or puffer of a mother who was now lights out.
This is Gerald Snr in his young days has really had a great innings reaching 70 on his next birthday
The four of us then took a great ride into Mooooordenaaars Kloof really beautiful
There truely is a great story of how the kloof was built a very quite withdrawn fellow by the name of Mike B was born somewhere in the Kloof in the late 40,s early 1950,s the story goes about his OUPA and OUMA who built the road into the Kloof many years ago in the hope that his Oupa could get away from the husband of a chick he was spinning in the nearby town of Kareedow
Mike B is a great lover of the finner wines like SKip or Old Brown when these have been comsumed is the best time for the story about OUPA GUN,S AND ROSES
As we descended into the valley we where treat to real beauty
We continued our ride into the kloof untill we reached a dead end we also met a lady who had lived in the kloof for many years in no time we where treated to the best boere coffee and proper curry vetkoek on this planet
out of plain curiosity some questions where asked about the story of Mike B reletives we where quickly shown a photo of the family from way back dogs just so much history
we where also shown photo,s of the first bike mag dated 1975 costing 50 cents
photo of one of the greatest Ford racing managers in his Studebaker in the car mag dated August 1966
The weather was turning bad some real dark clouds hung over head we said our goodbyes as the rain started we set of along the kloof as quick as we could go something like days gone bye whe we where in hot persuit ( bring back memories of days past when we convinced the PE TRAFFIC CHIEF ANDY AUGUSTYN to purchase two Honda XR 500 fitted with blue lights sirens so we could clamp down on the reckless behaviour of fellows in the Willows Nature reserve an area behind the PE AIRPORT. AND DOWN THE FAMOUS PIPELINE
We also patrolled the park area,s where ma,s with prams toppies with puppies walked we made the area,s safe for the older folks kept the screaming 2 strokes ridden by the laaaaaities away and just made it safe
OK back to the passd we sped up the pass at great speed only God knows what these three toppies thought they where doing yours truely in ther front
Dogs what happened next is very difficult to explain but DAAI SUIWER BESTUURS VERNIF WAS BESIG MET N PLAN OM MY IN DIE STEEK TE LAAT
I arrived at a corner nothing to talk about but a corner Supervan would have taken flat in sixth
I leaned into the corner aimed pointed looked knew I wanted to turn but the BM had other idea,s like the squatter at home real kaaaaaaaaak idea,s
As my life flashed ahead of me I realized I would miss the squatter and all her kaaaaaaaak idea,s
The next moment I was perched like a ugly BLOU CANNERY IN THE BUSHES SAVED BY THAT FELLOW FORNA AND HIS SISTER FLORA
WHAT U ARE ABOUT TO SEE I AM NOT VERY PROUD OF
The next moment PA Gerald arrived on the scene and true to form out came his little yellow book (all spietkop have them) and started taking details of the accident
Well Dogs those manne that lost three world cups really know how to build a bike not a mark
Shortly after we found my heart which was given to me in 2007 we rode slowly to Kareedow and got stuck into a loaf of hot bread seems the shops had closed early due to the screams they had heard in the mountains
BUDDHA AND I HAVE BEEN BACK TO JOEL AND REPLACED THE MONSTERS WITH NEW GS 1200 THIS AFTER WE HAD AN INTENSIVE RIDING COURSE AT THE VUKA ACADEMY
THERE IS JUST SOMETHING ABOUT BEING OUT THERE IN THE MOUNTAINS ON GRAVEL ROADS WITH GREAT BUDDIES THAT FASCINATE THE HELL OUT OF ME ADVENTURE RIDING FOR ME IS BETTER THAN WHEN I WAS A LAAAAAAAAITIR AND WOULD BUY CHAPPIES OR WILSONS TOFFEES FROM THE CORNER SHOP BY THE WAY WILSON TOFFEES COST ONE CENT BACK THEN NOW 80 CENTS EACH
