Central Chapter will be going to the Aviators Tavern and Craft Brewing Company this Saturday, 14 April 2018. It is situated along the R512, close to the Hartbeespoort Dam (see www.aviators.co.za). This is our first Saturday run, as was requested by Central Chapter members, and we hope to maintain the same numbers we have become accustomed to. Therefore, no lawn-mowing and shopping this Saturday! We will leave our final departure point at 10:00 from the Zenex Laezonia garage on the corner of the R511 and R114, just off the N14 highway (at the Diepsloot/Hartbeespoort Dam offramp: 25°54'22.1"S 28°01'38.4"E). From there,...

53 Members of Central Chapter plus 4 guests on 17 bikes and 19 trikes, joined the Chapter for its monthly run today. Members came from all directions and gathered at the final gathering point just before Cullinan. After exploring Cullinan, everyone departed on the short ride to Nic and Maraai Hechter's home for a bring and braai. Everyone parked their bikes and trikes in the shade under big trees and then made themselves comfortable in the huge lapa. The Hechters surprised members with a very talented musician, Jaco van Wyk, who entertained us all day beside the pool - and...

On Sunday, 11 February 2018, the Central Chapter of Wing Riders SA motorcycle club had their monthly run to the SAA Museum in Germiston. Their main goal was to treat Neels van Zyl to an awesome outing, as motorcycles STILL make his eyes sparkle with joy.

Seventeen Gold Wing and Valkyrie bikes, 25 trikes, 42 riders, 23 pillions and a variety of other bikes, riders,...
