Lunch run to the Royal Elephant Hotel in Centurion
6th June 2010

CLEAR BLUE SKIES AND REALLY GREAT WEATHER...
ENSURED THAT 38 BIKERS WERE WARM IN THEIR LEATHER.
46 KMS RIDDEN DIRECTLY TO THE VENUE...
SOME HAD THE BUFFET, BUT OTHERS ORDERED OFF THE MENU!

R115,00 FOR LUNCH IN THE FEZORATI COFFEE SHOP...
SOME SAID VALUE FOR MONEY - OTHERS SAID "NOPE."
THE FOOD TASTED GREAT AND LOOKED GOOD ON THE PLATE...
BUT WE HAD WAITED AND WAITED AND IT STILL ARRIVED LATE.

THE COFFEES WERE HOT AND THE COOLDRINKS WERE COLD...
BUT IF WE HAD WAITED ANY LONGER - WE WOULD HAVE BEEN "OLD!"
SOME SAT OUTSIDE IN THE HOT SUN ON THE DECK...
THOSE WHO FORGOT SUNSCREEN WHERE THINKING "OH HECK!"

OFF CAME THE LEATHERS AND OFF CAME THE THERMALS...
WHILST VERY HOT SUN BLISTERED OUR SKIN DERMALS.
INTO THE SHADE THE TABLES WERE DRAGGED...
WHILST ENERGY LEVELS WERE BECOMING FLAGGED.

PACESETTER WAS JEFF - WITH HIS TEDDY ON THE BACK...
AND NIKKI TOOK UP HER POSITION AS LEADER OF THE PACK!
BIKER BUDDY ANDREW STOPPED TO HELP OUT A COUCH...
HOPE IT DOESN'T COST TOO MUCH TO REPAIR - OH "OUCH!"

PAUL WAS "SWEEP" AND RODE RIGHT AT THE BACK...
AND I'VE RECORDED THIS STORY ON MY TRUSTY "MAC!"
THANKS TO "ROAD CAPTAIN CHRIS" WHO RUSHED ON AHEAD...
TO MAKE SURE WE'D FIND THE PLACE AND EVENTUALLY BE FED.

THANKS TO THE MARSHALLS FOR THEIR THANKLESS TASK...
GETTING US THERE SAFELY - WHAT MORE COULD WE ASK?
WHERE ELSE ON A SUNDAY CAN WE ALL HAVE THIS MUCH FUN?
NOWHERE OF COURSE - BUT ON THE HOG SUNDAY BREAKFAST RUN!

For all of you going on the Ysterperd this coming weekend, ride safe and have a blast.

PS: Some clever signage :

On an Electrician's truck
"Let us remove your shorts"

On an Optometrist's door
"If you don't see what you're looking for, you've come to the right place"

At a Car Dealership
"The best way to get back on your feet - miss a car payment"
