What a awesome rally hosted by D-tox in a picturesque part of the Western Cape.  

Friday 18 November the start of the rally a damn hot day and out comes the pool and is placed on the cement slab right in front of the stage adjacent to the bar (the perfect spot).

Bikers were picked up and put into the pool by fellow bikers through out the entire weekend with their entire kit still on there asses. Miss and Mr 3 passes were chosen and a party of note started and shook the grounds.  

After evening fell the wind came up and gave a few bikers a bit of a “skrik“ shame !!! A few guys lost a couple of hours of there life but enough of that.  

Saturday 19 Nov “wakey wakey rise and shine“ the sun is up and the bar is open. A few bikers were feeling quite “vrot“ but glad to be alive. Little did we know that today was going to be a scorcher , a wild guess round 40 Celsius. Next moment the pool was occupied “klere en al“ and every body mingled and had a great time.  

Some time after lunch there was a announcement sounding something like LET THE GAMES BEGIN in that heat but once again the organizers were well prepared as the tug o war was held on either side of the pool where the loosing team landed up in the pool. All the spot prizes were great and the brotherhood was there no real incidents to report. The games lasted for the balance of the afternoon after which everybody kinda disappeared to their tents for a siesta.

After sunset the music fired up again and a stripper was summoned to the stage where she did what she does best.  

Now time for prize giving and thanking people for making the rally successful. The charities were called to the stage and presented to with the love that only a biker has. All the prizes were given to the lucky bikers and every biker was happy with his prize.  

By now the bikers started scattering and the pleasant smell of braaivleis fires filled the air. Suddenly a voice came from the stage , only to see a biker Jim behind the mic giving the entertainment for the balance of the evening.  

Before I forget the casino had its fair share of bikers banking some money but its not all doom and gloom Mies Main and some others were lucky enough to make a few bucks. Just a request Web we would like to know if you are going to donate you winnings to the buddy fund ? LOL  

Sunday 20 Nov roughly 03H00 the heavens opened and some well needed rain came down to cool the day and settle the dust. At about 06H00 everybody started packing up and greeting each other before heading home.

This is a sight to remember bikers giving each other a hug and wishing all a safe journey home. We should all be proud to be part of the greater biker family.

BILL THE FEARLESS: Despite his Hayabusa's baby-blue finish, Bill Warner doesn't lack courage or bike control.

Supercars are fun but superbikes are better - right?

Well, if you're one of those who believe chasing velocity records on two-wheels is the highest form of worship at the altar of speed, you'd be thrilled at what Florida's Bill Warner's managed.

On July 17, 2011, at the decommissioned Loring Air Force base in the state of Maine, Warner beat his personal top-speed superbike run of 447km/h to set the world record for an open cockpit sit-up bike, as opposed to a lay-down rail dragster.

SHAMING BUGATTI'S VEYRON SS

Let the statistical madness of Bill's beaten record settle in your mind: 447km/h is 17km/h faster than the world record for a production car, held by Bugatti's Veyron, at 430km/h...

So how fast did Bill manage to go? An absolutely stupefying 502km/h.

Although Bill's Suzuki Hayabusa's fairing is a custom-crafted item, the frame's been left relatively unmodified. The most amazing part of Bill's bike is undoubtedly its engine.

The 1299cc Suzuki four gains an enormous Garrett turbocharger, boosting power to 480kW. So severe is the boost regime and its cooling requirements that the engine can only run for 25 seconds before the turbo disengages and shuts down. For all intents and purposes then, it's 0-500km/h in 25 seconds...

Beyond the jet-fighter challenging acceleration, by far the most perilous part of Bill's record run was slowing down, especially after part of the Hayabusa's intricate fairing sheared off. "It was a little scary," said 42-year-old said in an epic instance of understatement.
