It was a perfect day for a ride with excellent companions.
Pitty I woke up so late after a 21st was held at my place.
I only woke up as I entered the Engine one stop and realized I had just missed my own ride!
Caught the lads up pretty quickly though.
As usual , a good turn out .
Thanks to Rovrat for guiding us through Caledon and the Stanford Outback to Elim and back to Hermanus for lunch.
I will post the special race stage on the tar back to Gordons bay later.
Will post route on this post later

the chances of me finding/riding those roads on my own are zero.
The best were the smaller roads, the worst was the N2 and R300 trying to keep up to Sparky and battling the traffic and wind. That's what you get for enjoying yourself so much that you run out of time and need to hurry later.
I'm embarrassed to say it, but it was my first time on a bike on the Rooiels road, and what fun it was. I tried to keep up with 2StrokeDan but failed miserably.
Helshoogte, Franschoek and Rooiels on a DS is where the dual comes in. What a blast to do the same roads as the cruiser and superbike crowd but also be able to explore all the backroads

waiting for our fearless leader who jolled with the young ones and couldn't take the punch
Sparky contravening rule 13.3 B: talking to a lady without André's permission
check André's sweet 1150 ADV.
Franschoek pass was covered in a cloud. It was nice to feel cold for a change
Snafu on his way to some burning town (I really don't know what town that is, please help)
The strong winds and dry veld aren't helping
BMW - check. Yamaha - check. Suzuki - check. Kawasaki - check. KTM - check.
Honda - check.
Die pilot maak die verskil, kon daai bliksem nie vang nie
Ons sweeper Snafu

Ok nou weet ek ook waar die racing stage was! Sal maar die ander stukkie n rally stage noem.

Thanks to all it was a great ride. I will make up the short vid today and post.

Nee, die "racing stage" was daar waar Snafu al n rally stage gedoen het, Clarence drive was net fast touring.
Nou sien julle hoekom ek nie n neckbrace dra nie, blerrie porta-potti clash met my atgatt. My sposor, Mr Price sal nie dit laaik nie!

By Dassiefontein stop ons vir ’n ontbyt, wat R-O-V-Rat so vinnig weg pak dat hy na die tyd eers ’n bietjie skuins moet sit. Agter sit Pullaway en Jason.
Snafu, Andy660 wat filosofeer en ons eie 2StrokeDan wat vir ’n verandering by iets minder olierig hou.
Iewers naby Caledon word daar gestop vir ’n vinnige ruskansie en ’n “brieving” deur R-O-V-Rat.
Na die rowwe stuk vat ons ’n lekker lang “break”. Hier staan Sparky, Snafu, JC, 2StrokeDan en Pullaway. 2StrokeDan is ’n man wat sy bike ry geniet en steur hom nie veel aan ATGATT nie. Hy moes seker die Man Van Staal gewees het.........?
Al die fietse in ’n ry
Die Transalp (en miskien die ryer ook) het gesukkel om by te bly en staan nou skaam eenkant.
2StrokeDan besig om my Fourstroke Wonderwerk te bewonder terwyl R-O-V-Rat en Pullaway net bly lyk om in Elim te wees.
Op Elim is self die petrol, tot Andy660 se ontsteltenis, op gedroog.
Dié hond is op ’n Sondagmiddag so lui dat hy op sy, sy lê en droom van iewers heen hardloop.
Robin Brown, Flatout en Andy660 besig om ’n biertjie te laat val waar hy moet.
Snafu dink ek het ’n vraag gevra toe ek sê hulle moet opkyk vir ’n foto en steek begeesterd sy hand op.
Ongelukkig was die antwoord verkeerd en lyk die man nou skoon bekaf.
Nou raak dit laat en die manne besluit om Rooi-els om huis toe te JAAG. Ek en R-O-V-Rat besluit egter om eerder tot bo-op die berg bo Hermanus te ry en die uitsig te geniet.
Aan Andy wat gereël het en R-O-V-Rat en Snafu vir hulle leiding, baie dankie. Maak gou weer so! Aan al die ander ouens dit was goed om saam met julle te ry. Ek het ’n lekker tet op my nek waar die by my gesteek het. Het vanmiddag vir Trailrider in Cape Gate raakgeloop toe ek my Phenergans gaan aanvul het.

Dankie, Flatout vir die mooi fotos, en die baie humoristiese kommentaar. Daai een van Snafu se vraag/antwoord is n classic! Almal lekker ouens om mee saam te ry, geen stupid moves nie. Dan moet ek byse, ek moet nog n onaangename Wilddog ontmoet, sover almal top ouens. Sorry, en vrouens. Ok ok, dames dan.

Lekker Fotos JC! Daai dorp wat brand is toe nie Sodom of Gemorra nie maar wel Caledon.
Weet nie hoe hulle dit geblus gekry het nie want water is maar glo skaar daar.
