THE CHEF AND THE FAT MAN
Sunday 2 August

A fine day to get out on the Harley's for a Lunch Run. Blue skies and temperatures above 18 degrees. 37 bikes (45 people) arrived for the 97km ride to 'The Chef and the Fat man' in Centurion arranged by Bazil Dakes. Road Captain for the day was Karl Tameris, who set the pace, Mike Kylie led the pack, Rick Bennet and Bazil Dakes were Biker buddies and Vince 'The Prince' was sweep.

The planned route took us down Rivonia, left onto Bryanston Drive, right onto Main, left onto Witkoppen, right onto Cedar past Dainfern all the way past Lanseria Airport towards the dam. We then hung a right at the T-Junction where we joined the back road from Harties to Sandton. We followed Main Road extension to 'Diepsloot" corner where we turned left past Knoppieslaagte.

We joined up with the old Pretoria Road after crossing over the M1. At the Mint we turned right and a quick left where we arrived at 'The Chef and the Fat Man'. In one of the photo's included you may be able to recognize the 'Fat man' although he has lost a little weight since his accident.

Friendly staff were overwhelmed by hungry, thirsty bikers and were running mad trying to get the drinks orders out. The food was tasty when it arrived, but the influx of customers took it's toll as it was a long wait for some of us. Fortunately we had no grumpy bikers on this ride as Dean Wegger could not make it as his bike was in for repairs.

Another great Sunday ride. Thanks Karl, well executed. Until the next ride, take care. Hoping to see a bunch of you on the Hippo Rally this Friday? Ride safe, drink neat water on the way and then chase it with Whiskey when you get there. I'll see you through the bottom of my empty glass.
