Members and guests came from Witbank, Pretoria, the West, East and South Rand and met at the final departure point at the Blockhouse on the R59. It was not too cold and everyone enjoyed a lovely winter run. The Gold Wings arrived at Stonehenge Lodge around 11:30. Stonehenge is a riverside lodge, conference and teambuilding venue, about 10 km on the other side of Parys. As guests entered Stonehenge, they were greeted by a large replication of the celebrated Stonehenge Monument.

  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. During our run in May, Henry proved that a trike can keep up with the 2-wheelers in the twisties at the Red Star Raceway. Thanks to the management of Red Star who made it an extraordinary day. On the people front, please keep Pax in your thoughts and prayers who is still in hospital...

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...

Please have a look at the Facebook photos and website write-ups, if you have not yet seen them. With our April run, we tried something new, as per request from some members.

53 Members of Central Chapter plus 4 guests on 17 bikes and 19 trikes, joined the Chapter for its monthly run today.

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...
