So I invited Alfons for a trip around the Western Cape this morning on my GS12000. He had one look at the height of the bike, and decided to rent something closer to terra firma. This pic of us doing du Toits Pass. Must say, it still looks better from above.

:( :( :(
My chom, ek is jammer om te hoor van daai moeilikheid wat jy na soveeel ure gehad het.
Ons is almal bly dat jy en jou pax veilig is want ons kyk graag na al jou foto,s en geskrifte wat jy op die forum vir ons wys,.
Ek dink daardie ure wat agter jou naam staan het baie daarmee te doen dat julle hier is om die storie te vertel!!
Jy het my ook nou weer terug gegooi vir n paar ure maar ek glo ek sal dit vorentoe vergeet en weer aangaan.
Ek hoop net nie jy suffer te lank aan die geestelike herstel wat jy nou obvious sal deurgaan nie.!!!! Want ek vermoed DIT tref almal wat so iets oorkom.!!
Ek het n Bantam bakkie en hy hardloop 120 kmp uur op 3500 refs,.!!! Ek ry met hom hiervandaan Kaap toe non stop.!!
Daardie arme Rotex hardloop 5800 reffs !!! amper 2 maal soveel..Hy kan onmoontlik nie solank hou nie..Iets moet oppak.!!!
Ek wonder maar net???
Sterkte met alles..
Ek praat jou thaal...

I have been doing some flying since my accident with WUO. DVE is still in Aurora, so my flying is now limited to every second weekend. Initially I thought WUO will be scrapped, but now she has been rebuild, and with the kind assistance of Cor who will be bringing her all the way from Durban, I might be Windlassed again by the end of the month.

When I was flying this weekend (see http://www.zu-dve.com) I had an odd experience. I did two touch and go's at a local field, when I saw a bakkie driving like a maniac in a field in front of me as I was climbing. I then saw that he is chasing a group of orstriches, and by golly it looked as if the ostriches are evaporating in front of my eyes. I turned to overfly the field and saw that they were actually in the process of culling the ostriches. From above the field was scattered with ostriches in their death throws - flat on their sides but running like hell.

And CAA is worried about me flying over the ostriches!
