Written by Amorita Engelbrecht Die “Club Captain” het 'n lekker rit gereël vir ons – eers ontbyt by ons nuwe vriende in die Hexriviervallei, Gerdus en Cynthia en James en Rozanne, en daarna na Krish en Gail vir middagete.  Ons was verras oor die groot aantal Wings wat opgedaag het. Die oggend was lekker koel, ons het veilig gery en toe ons by Gerdus-hulle se plaas kom, wag daar 'n feesmaal op ons!  Almal het vermoedelik heeltemal te veel geëet, ons het lekker gesels en toe neem Gerdus ons deur hulle pragtige groen vallei – ons ry mos altyd net...

We, as the National Committee, as well as the Chapter Committees, share these ideals and we serve at the pleasure...

It was once again an honour and privilege to serve as the Chairman of a wonderful group of people that is the Central Chapter. It is my second year as Chairman of the chapter. We are currently 76 members strong, as opposed to 81 at this time last year. The difference is due to some members having resigned stating that the club no longer has meaning for them, they wish to do their own thing, and others have sold their bikes having given up riding due to health issues. We also gained some members during the year. We also lost a...

Awards and trophies are not just about a pat on the back or a quick ego boost. They are about recognising and rewarding the efforts of individual Wing Riders who simply did the best in certain categories. In all the categories, it was extremely hard, not only to choose the three most outstanding contestants, but to reach a conclusion as to the final winners, took long hours of deliberation and consideration. We should always keep in mind why we own the best bike in the world ... to ride. We should always remember that we belong to this amazing club ......

Written by Amorita Engelbrecht (Western Cape Chapter) Ons slaap Woensdagaand oor op Worcester, anders moes ons Donderdagoggend om 4:30 uit Gordonsbaai vertrek het.
