2024 Festive Season Message from the President

CHRISTMAS MESSAGE 2024 Dear beloved Wing Riders SA member and Motorcycle Enthusiast, As we reflect on 2024, it becomes evident that history often repeats itself, with this year being no exception. Once again, we experienced incredible highs and deeply painful lows. It is also evident that the highs are enjoyed for the first ten months of the year, with the lows typically following directly after the annual Wing Fling. Wing Riders SA bid final farewells to two cherished members of our family. Johan Hattingh passed away on 7 November at the age of 77, with his memorial service held on...

Trains or buses, also known as groups, also known as friends, were formed, each with their own agenda of arriving safely and without mishap at the Gariep Dam. For most, the fun started the moment we began planning outfits for the themed evening and,...

This year, I must begin my report with the terrible losses we, as a Wing family, have faced. You can imagine the heartbreak we experienced at the end of November and the beginning of December 2023 when we had to...
