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.

Written by Retha Roos Planning for this year’s “Dam Jam” began many months ago. Bikes were polished, extra chrome was ordered and fitted and, of course, some pretty lights were added for that extra flair.

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,...
