Year planners 2021: Wing Riders SA
Written by Amorita Engelbrecht André begin ewe gewillig die Wing opvryf vir die naweek, terwyl ek die weer dophou. Dit lyk of die wind heel naweek in Arniston gaan waai en dit gaan 33 grade wees Vrydag in Worcester, waar ons bymekaar moet kom. Toe besluit ons, nee wat, ons is te lui of te lief vir ons gerief. Dié naweek kan die Wing maar sy vlerkies toevou. Ons is darem nie die enigste op vier wiele nie. Daar is ander ook wat weens gesondheid of 'n Wing wat onder konstruksie tans is, met motors moet kom. Ons ry verby...
Written by Amorita Engelbrecht Dit is ons eerste oornag sedert Maart, en ons kan nie wag om die lang pad te vat op die Wing nie. Die weervoorspelling sê dit gaan Vrydag reën in Gordonsbaai, maar ons ou mense skrik mos nie vir water nie, ons het immers al voorheen vir 7 ure in gietende reën gery van Worcester tot Jeffreysbaai. Gerdus en James en hul metgeselle en Johan Hattingh en Boet en Renthia het 'n lang naweek gemaak en Donderdag aand in die Piekenierskloof Country Lodge en op Clanwilliam al gaan oorgeslaap, of dalk was hulle bang vir...
Written by Amorita Engelbrecht Ons was in Oktober 2019 laas op ons Wing. Moes wag vir 'n nuwe waterpomp en het ook gesukkel met 'n hoeklig wat aanhou doodgaan het, so ons het baie uitgesien na die naweek by die Marriott Hotel in Saldanha. Ons het besluit om nie saam met die groep vir ontbyt na Bellville te gaan nie, maar hulle op pad na Langebaan te kry. Was lui om vroeër op te staan! By die Weskus Petrostasie kry ons vir Pieter en Marietjie, ook hulle seun Wynand; hy het heen en weer gery om video's van die groep...
Hello to all the Wing Riders On behalf of the Western Cape Chapter committee members, I want to wish you all a very prosperous 2020 and may it be a great year for all of you. We have already shared the official events calendar for this year and a number of these events are in the final stages of planning. Please make a note in your diaries of these dates. (The Western Cape Chapter year planner appears below for easy reference.) We take this opportunity to also welcome new members that have joined us recently as well as those joining...
Written by Amorita Engelbrecht The gale-force southeaster has been torturing us for a week, so chances of going on the run with our Wing was becoming slimmer every day! Rain was also predicted, so André decided the car was the best option. We turned up at the meeting place, but after waiting for the rest for more than half an hour, we realised that something was wrong. The group apparently forgot that we were also going and left a bit earlier! After contacting Igsaan, we heard that they were already at Betty's Bay and we decided to meet them at...
Written by Amorita Engelbrecht Feroza het oral gesoek en toe dié lekker plekkie gevind. Ons hou al die hele week die weer dop; dit lyk of dit die naweek gaan reën in Elgin - moeilik om te glo aangesien dit aan hierdie kant van die berg al so warm is! Ons besluit om maar met die motor te gaan, daar is ook 'n stukkie grondpad waarvoor ek maar versigtig is! Goeie besluit, want Saterdagoggend word ons wakker met 'n tierende suidoos wat waai, nie 'n manier wat ek op die Wing klim nie. We still had to do our weekly...
Written by Amorita Engelbrecht Na reën en wind is Sondag stil maar yskoud. By Somerset-Wes voel dit of ons yspakke op ons knieë het! Ons kry vir Johan Hattingh langs die pad. Ek sê nogal vir André sy hande kry nie koud nie; sy Wing se handvatsels word mos warm. Ons s'n is al dood van die koue. Nee, sê hy, toe ons afklim by Swartland petrolstasie – hy het al wat ‘n knop is gedruk en getrek, maar kon niks regkry nie! Nadat hy die handleiding bestudeer het, het hy die regte knop gekry! "When all else fails ...!" Naby...
NEWSLETTER JULY 2019 It looks and feels as if we are going to have a long winter. Mid-June, we had the first heavy rainfall and I believe it did affect the Western Cape badly. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Delphius for being instrumental in getting all the new members on board with Wing Riders SA. We hope to see these members at our Chapter runs on 21 July 2019 and at Chapter AGM on 17 August 2019. We wish all the Wing Riders a speedy recovery and may your health go from strength to strength. They...
