Been to all the gatherings organized by Motorrad SA except for Victoria West and also for us, this was the best one yet.
Great organization, exceptional venue, good food, nice riding and good company.
The Pta BMW motorcycle group………well they were number 1…….thanks guys and girls. No politics, no clicks and very well behaved on the road……maybe with one exception. ;D
Thanks to Renier and Malinda for leading the ride.
On our way back, we met several other riders along the road and they all complained about the behavior of one group. We eventually also crossed paths with the said group – they are not from this club – and indeed they ride like idiots…….no respect for motorists and even worse, for other bikes………guess we will always have them amongst us.
almost ready to depart from the Ultra City N1 south
a break at Sterkfontein Dam
arrival at the venue
the function was well attended and the there were a lot of BMWs
also a few interesting ones like this brand new adventure with 3 km on the clock
and this Suzuki B king
with even a lone Honda mixing with the pack.....well done girl for having the courage to take your ride to the gathering
and of course every show must have a star ;D ;D ;D
oeps, I have excluded the real star
they went big on offering test rides
and the waiting list for this baby was loooooooong
the rider academy was present and was surprisingly busy with all the wifes, grandpas and sundry who wanted to learn how to ride……Rob and Mathew Barnes were busy the whole day
here is a familiar face
the outride departure Saturday morning
with the mmwc (main man what count) from BMW Motorrad SA Lachlen Harris
the road side assistance vehicles were well represented and made for good pr
don’t know this couple at all but it made a nice pic
our stop in Mooirivier during the outride
Ivala lodge, the turning point for the tar route
very unlike BMW, an impressive stunt show was presented and it attracted a lot of attention.........do not try this at home
And lastly the very beautiful surrounds……..methinks that’s what heaven might look like
