~ 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 />
