Que Sera - Breakfast run

Went for a breakfast run last Sunday to Que Sera down Lynwood road in Pretoria. It was great fun. Not a very long ride, but the food was good and the fellowship of all the other bikers was great too.

I did not quite expect so many other bikers there. Was probably around 60 bikes.

I can say one thing. . . . I will definitely be there again. . . . and soon. :)

New Motorcycle

I decided that I need a Motorcycle to commute to work everyday. The cost of fuel has just gone up so much that one cant commute with a 4x4 anymore.

As a result: Honda NC700x was purchased.

Clarens Weekend

I am actually writing this a month or two after the trip, but I guess it is still worth mentioning.

So we also went snow hunting just like a lot of Gautengers. We heard over the news it has snowed in a lot of places in the country and decided to go look for snow. I saw on a website that it has snowed in Clarens and decided that is where we will go for the weekend.

I have firstly never seen snow, and secondly have never been in Clarens. What a nice surprise on both accounts. The snow was great. Even though it was very few and far apart. And Clarens the little town was awesome. The beauty of the place with all the mountains was amazing. And the little town itself with the restaurants and friendly people really makes it a great retreat.

(My First Snow encounter.....ever)

We discovered a lovely little pub/resturant in Clarens. What a nice place. The Roter Hahn.

It is a German Pub with the nicest food I have ever tasted. We ended up there for Dinner, Breakfast and lunch the next day. Really nice little German place.

Cheers!!!!!

New Flash!!!

I finally decided it is time to get a proper flash for my Camera. I have to admit the photography has taken a back seat to everything else that has been going. Actually not even a back seat, more like gone in the boot of the car and in the corner right at the back.... Out if mind.

And what better way to get back into the swing of things than to buy a new gadget and get shooting again.

This is the one I decided on as Canon's flashes are just way too expensive for me. And the Yongnuo is very well priced and have 80% of the features. The YN-468

I ordered it from across the ocean, and hope it arrives soon.

The reviews on it seems very good.

Moving Residence

1st of July 2011 was moving day, and the Saturday the 2nd was the same, moving the last bits and pieces out of the old flat.

I cant believe it. After 2 years of trying to sell the place it finally sold. Now I am renting for a bit, before I get a new place of my own.

Pics of the new place will follow, but here is one of the move so long.

Hennops Offroad Trail

We went to the Hennops Offroad trail on the 25th of April to have a bit of an outing over the very long weekend in South Africa. It was 11 days long if you took the 26th, 28th and 29th off. You would have had 11 day holiday with all the Public holidays and weekends. I was unfortunately only able to get the 28th and 29th off. But it was very long as well.

In the Picture above is me deflating the tires to 1.5 BAR pressure to make it grip more. I got a funky pump for my birthday with inflates them again very quick. And the two animals behind Rusty are Zonkies. They are a mix of Zebra's and Donkeys. hehehe

I really enjoyed the Hennops Trail because they had 3 different choices in difficulty for a lot of the obstacles. We really had to get out of the car a lot and walk to see which one is the best. Not too easy and not so bad that Rusty gets hurt. It is after all my work car as well.

Have not updated my blog in a while. I will be making time in this week to update you on the Hennops Offroad trail and a few other things happening.
