Central Chapter: Newsletter June 2018

  Hello everybody Almost midyear already and another month of activities gone by. Today, thirteen Gold Wings paraded at the East Rand Motor Show. There was much interest from the public, many questions asked, and a number of people enquired about bikes and trikes for sale.

On the people front, please keep Pax in your thoughts and prayers who is still in hospital...

Central Chapter run: Red Star Raceway, 20 May 2018

Members left the final departure point in Boksburg at 08:30 on Sunday morning to travel to Red Star Raceway. On arrival, coffee was the first item on the agenda as most members left home in temperatures somewhere between 5° and 10° Celsius. Quintin Coetser, manager at Red Star Raceway, entertained members with an extremely interesting talk on biker safety and most, if not all, learned a great deal. The professionalism, facilities, and most importantly, the welcoming attitude, made for a great day that will be long remembered. Members then enjoyed a delicious breakfast where after Wing Riders were given the...
