~ Joe The cold weather strikes<br />

again and first thing Sunday<br />

morning I thought this is not so<br />

bad. Once on my way to<br />

Pinehaven, the big Kawa gave me a<br />

fresh reading of -2 degrees going<br />

over Hillsnacks. At first it was only<br />

Lawrie and myself but then we<br />

started t chatting to afellow fll biker,<br />

discovering that this is Dave from<br />

the East London chapter, awaiting<br />

his colleague from the North, the<br />

one and only Allan Russell.<br />

Now can you believe this, in the<br />

freezing weather we end up with<br />

mini rally of ugly buggers – 2 from<br />

the Woes Rand, one from the North<br />

and one from the East Coast. A<br />

vote was called and decided that<br />

any spot with a fireplace will do.<br />

Allan knows a place, so he led the<br />

pack out towards Harties in the<br />

fresh Highveld air on some twisty<br />

roads. Before long we stopped at<br />

the Windmill – no fireplace and all<br />

forgive Allan for this since he<br />

was our famous sweeper and<br />

not leader and since we are<br />

from the Woes Rand, we are<br />

brave enough to enjoy coffee<br />

outside in the fresh air. Some<br />

good stories were swopped out<br />

and then Lawrie and myself<br />

went on a jolly ride while the<br />

others headed back home.<br />

Next stop was Zakkers were we<br />

enjoyed and quick OBS and<br />

some good biker company from<br />

Pretoria. Then off to Upper<br />

Deck for another one of those<br />

and finally we pulled in at<br />

Route 66 where we joined a few<br />

of the Old Farts for a chat and a<br />

drink. On the way back I<br />

cruised at a steady 160 on the<br />

GTR and thought to myself –<br />

what a nice day this turned out<br />

while everybody was hiding<br />

under the blankets.<br />

Guess Who?


Hoodlums DayJol.~ We few meet<br />

at Andre’s place before heading to the dayjol site,<br />

literally down the road..<br />

Finding Fin there and later Rob arrived, a good<br />

compliment of members supporting a good<br />

cause.<br />

The sun was great once the wind slowed to a<br />

gust, but all this could not blow away the happy<br />

spirit that surrounded us with laughter and jokes,<br />

with a few stories.<br />

There was a good turnout throughout the<br />

day with lots of revving and burnouts, all<br />

controlled in a quiet street.<br />

As day jols go you will always find people<br />

you know and have a good chat about all<br />

things bike while enjoying the biker vibe.<br />

Thanks to Toppie and the Hoodlums for<br />

making this a great day of biking<br />

brotherhood, with good music and friends<br />

thrown into the mix.<br />
