Dear Jo & Les
Thank you for your generous donation . People like you have made it possible for us to take a lot of the financial worries off Des Pistorius’s mind, and allow for him to focus on his recovery .
As you know Ulysses Durban, John MacManus from VMax Pub and Grill, supported by The Thumpers MC , held an afternoon of live Bands, Food stall’s auctions and raffles on Saturday the 3 April.
The response was overwhelming and the provisional takings exceeded our wildest expectations.
Once again a BIG thank You, (and or Organisation) for your contribution, in making this possible.

BIKERS MEMORIAL.
I am hoping that the memorial will eventually become an "Icon" in biking and a "must" visit by all visiting bikers to PE.
I would greatly appreciate your and your various clubs participation in the Blister Butt and Blood Group Bar initiatives.
The Blood Group Bars sells for R30 each and are well received by the local emergancy personal. The idea came to me after listening to a talk by them at one of our meetings and was identified as one of their biggest problems on accident scenes. They advised us that no blood transfusion may be carried out unless the patients blood is first tested, but what the Blood Group Bar does is that they can pre order blood and it would be ready on standby once confirmation of the test is received. What it does is that it takes at least 30 minutes to order blood from the blood bank and if they have the blood group it can be pre ordered from the accident scene and save vital time. The delay in receiving the blood when only ordered after the test results are received have been the difference between the patient living or dying. They furthermore advised that the ideal place to put the blood group bar would be at the highest point on the left hand shoulder of the cut off, basically next to the face. The reason for this is that 99.9% of the time the patient will lay on their back and will be visible immediately.
Blister Butt Competition. Although the Eastern Cape Competition has started but fortunately this competition is flexible. Should you wish to promote it in your region we can decide on a starting date and launch it then.
All the information regard this competition is contained in the attached document.
I would be extremely greatfull if you could promote these two initiatives in your region.
I await your favourable responce.

Subject: Re: ASSISTANCE
Please see if you can assist me. A biker of the name Mark Peo bought a motorbike from us (the one rassie had). He never paid for it as agreed and disappeared without trace. I have recently heard that he is working on a farm in Vreyheid. I believe that he will probably hang out at bikers clubs or at least with bikers as that is what he was doing here in Warner beach. Perhaps you could email all the relevant club presidents and put the word out, maybe someone knows him. He was riding the pre slingshot, this is the old bike of tiens and angela.
Thank you for the help,
Paul and Debbie.

KZN’s New and Hottest Biker Hangout
I recently visited a new biker pub called FANATIX Pub&Grill, situated in Malvern just off the M7 Bellville turnoff opposite Bluff meat supply. This pub is truly a biker’s pub starting with their signage to the original bike painting on the walls. I met the owner Bernadette Buntting, who has been in the catering business for over thirteen years. Bernadette welcomed me as if she knew me for years and treated me as if I was a regular. I was immediately directed to the private room where I could hang my helmet and jacket. The private room also has a flat screen TV. I was hungry and tried out her curry of the day, and boy was this not only hot but delicious. This was by far the best curry I had in a long time. Too cool my fiery mouth I ordered a beer. All beers are R6.50 for bikers. After my meal Bernadette showed me the rest of the pub.
Throughout the pub is has all sorts of motorcycle parts hanging on the walls ranging from sprockets, chains and pistons. It also has a huge dance floor and big screen television to view your favourite sport. It also has pool tables and a dart board to pass the time. I have to comment on the light fixture above the pool table. Get this; it has a bike as a light hanging from the ceiling. Simply unique.
Taking you outside for some fresh air are a couple of tables and chairs and a huge braai stand. Bernadette tells me they have poitjie competions and braai’s on the balcony for those long summer days. Best of all you can braai and peep over the balcony to see if your two wheeler is still safe.
This is truly a place for people who are fanatical and passionate about their biker lifestyle. Best of all the prices are biker friendly.
The next time you need a new hangout visit Fanatix pub and grill, where you will enjoy good service at an affordable price.
For further information you can contact Bernadette on 0848881288.

The Dragon Rally 2009 in WALES, UK.
This Dragon Rally is approximately 50 yars old now. Started off with 3000 entrants and now tops the 10,000 mark - not bad if you consider it's held in the middle of Winter, February to be exact. This particular link shows a good day!
Generally it's waist height in Snow! Global Warning seems to have affected even there.

Hey there, I stay on the N14 in Centurion and watched the kings of the motorcycle world at work yesterday. A group of about 20 Harley Sunday cruisers with full marshalling hold up all the traffic even bring the highway to a stand still while they cruised in the fast lane at 100km, they do not allow any traffic to go past them or even interfere with the path of travel, THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY MOTORISTS HAVE NO RESPECT FOR US BIKERS. I take offence at the notion that they are above the law and think they are better than the rest of us. Come on guys let’s all play pretty and change the mindset of the motorist, that way we all stay happy. Kind regards, Dudley, President – Tribal Hunters

Hi Guys / Gals, I and some of my members went to the Stag Rally, great Rally, nice time. Yesterday on the way back, my Sgt at Arms (Ghost) lost his camera, which slipped from his belt while driving, it happened somewhere between Memel & Vrede. There were a lot of clubs coming past us, some of them from JHB, which also stopped a couple of times. We are asking if anybody stopped and picked up this camera to please contact Ghost (Sgt at arms) (072 480 3177) or myself (Sanet – Panther) Pres Jo’Burg Eagles (082 448 1715). All our photo’s for the website is on the camera. Please guys let me know. Thanks. Sanet (Pres) Jo’Burg Eagles on 082 448 1715
Thanks for nothing Ekurhuleni metro! On Sunday morning my son had a accident on the way to Q serra, Immediately after the accident two metro cars stopped and one of my members requested them to radio for a ambulance, we were told it is not their job. One of the officers immediately took out his cell phone and phoned someone giving details of the location and a tow truck arrived 5 minutes later wanting to pick up the bike( he was told to .....! ).The lady officer in charge proceeded to the motorcycle and insisted that we tell her what the motorcycle is doing on the wrong side of the road. None of the officers paid any attention to my son and started to complete the accident form, checking if the bike is licensed, number plate is in order and asked me to bring them his drivers licence. The message, don’t expect any assistance from them whatsoever except to get their commission from the tow truck company and to make sure they can not fine you or impound your bike while you are bleeding to death.

Dear Biker/Club member, Bikers Against Tolls are once again calling on your help, to support a Tollgate protest, on 10th April 2009, at Grasmere Tollgate on the N1. Clubs will meet at Viking Garage, Devland at 7am, to depart at 8.30am.A full briefing will take place to all Club Presidents and Road Captains, prior to the departure. Your inputs in this regard, are more than welcome.
We understand that some of you will take the Easter weekend off(enjoy), but believe that a public holiday, is most suitable to target these tollgates (bikers are not at work, and people go away, using the tollgates.)
If support can grow we will start moving protests to the bigger gates. Currently we don’t have enough support to pull of a huge one, and bikers are averse to challenge the authorities. No explanations are necessary, for the tollgate protest. We all are familiar with this issue.
Last year, we had our protest on the 24th September. Despite fears that bikes would be confiscated, licensing etc, nothing happened. The protest was legal and peaceful. No laws are broken, in that we pay with 5c pieces. And no bad behaviour from bikers will be allowed. But we will frustrate the hell out of the authorities.
The tollgate fees are about R12.00. Bring 5cpieces, and prepare yourself for a delay of about 4hours at the gate. (Put in a beer or two)
So far Citibike, a supplement to the Citizen Newspaper, has pledged their support, and will give the event full coverage.
Cheers,
Mr G, Vice President, Chosen Ones MCC, South Africa

Gang of bikers hit mall Nov 23 2008 04:09:34:143PM
A gang of bikers, still wearing their crash helmets and armed with an assault gun and hammers, have robbed a jewellery store at Pretoria's Brooklyn mall. Pretoria - Two Pretoria jewellery stores were robbed within the space of an hour on Sunday morning, police said. Four armed men held employees at a jeweller in Woodlands Boulevard, Garsfontein at gunpoint shortly after 09:00, said Inspector Klaas van der Kooi. "They took cellphones and other personal belongings as well as jewellery out of the showcases and fled in a green Toyota Cressida." The car was later found abandoned on Atterbury Road. At 10:00 between five and seven men on motorcycles, armed with at least one assault rifle and hammers, parked outside the Brooklyn Mall. They walked into the mall wearing their helmets and smashed the display window of the Greig and Meinke store on the second floor. "They grabbed watches and other expensive items and stuffed them into bags." They fled the scene on their bikes and were last seen driving towards Johannesburg on the N1 highway. Van der Kooi said it did not appear as if the two crimes were linked. "It doesn't look as if it's the same [gang]." The value of the jewellery taken was not yet known. No arrests had been made in either of the robberies. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Story of the Travelling Gnome:
2 intrepid bikers went of to US of A for a Gold Wing holiday of 3000 kms, whilst there they were handed the 'Travelling Gnome' from the Gold Wingers Club USA with the understanding that they would re-home him in South Africa and that he would continually be re-homed, photographed with whoever had him and travel on some more.
Whether he'll ever get back to the States is another question.
So Gold Wingers Edwin and Janet brought him home and after many stops along the way was handed over to Highway Dragons Durban, Jo Boes. He's been to Lions Club meetings, Bike meets, down to the harbor, braais and Radio Ham Meets. He's seen some wonderful sights!
Roland has come to visit from Germany and will be leaving in a week or so and has agreed to take the 'Travelling Gnome' with him and to pass him on there. Roland is also a member of the Gold Wingers club in Europe.
In the USA, the Gold Wing Club introduced the Travelling Gnome just for the fun of it. This Gnome is the 1st to leave the states.
All the pic's of the gnome are sent to the website www. floydweb.com
On Friday, 17th October, 2008 the Garden Gnome is being handed over to Roland where he will start his next journey.
Next Chapter: The Travelling Gnome is now in Europe and has travelled to just about every country there, visited every pub, joll and rally too no doubt. I doubt he wants to go back to the State now!
Next Country - SWEDEN!

Incident: Night Shayde: Ek wil jou net laat weet dat ek en Neville Saterdagaand in motorfiets ongeluk om 20h05 betrokke was. Ons het stil gestaan by Prospeed se robot toe 'n cream BMW reg JJR 882 GP my amper van die pad afgery het (sy spieeltjie het teen my arm geslaan) regoor die rooi robot. Neville het hom agterna gejaag, die drywer het by die Sasol garage in die dip ingedraai reg voor Neville. Dus moes Neville sy fiets in die gruis neersit. Neville het opgespring die drywer van die kar gevra of hy blind is?
Kan hy nie sien dis 'n rooi robot nie, kon hy my nie daar sien staan nie? Die drywer van die BMW het Neville gevra wat hy daar omtrent gaan doen? Neville het hom toe 'n klap gegee, soos 1 man het die 2 in die kar uitgespring daar was vuis geslaan heen & weer. Die passasier het agter Neville gekom en hom met iets oor sy kop heslaan. Neville het op die grond geval ek het hom probeer help toe die drywer van die kar my klap dat ek daar trek. Hy het my aan my hare weggetrek, hy is terug na Neville waar hulle Neville nog meer geslaan het.
Toe Nev weer op die grond val hy het hy Neville se vuurwapen uit sy holster gehaal en Neville in die gesig geskop. Nev was knocked out, ek het opgespring na
Nev toe gehardloop toe die drywer my met Neville se vuurwapen oor my kop slaan. Toe ek weer bykom en opstaan het die drywer na my toe aangeloop gekom die gun in my gesig gecock en op my geskiet - ek het net gevra God moet my beskerm. Die bullet het verby my kop getrek, weereens is ek oor die kop geslaan. Ek het in die Quickshop ingekruip en agter die rakke weggekruip waar ek magteloos moes kyk hoe hulle Neville nog meer skop; ek het ons klubmember Lucky gebel en binne 10 minute het hy daar gestop saam met Johnny van die Suspects. Intussen het die bystaanders net daar gestaan sonder om te help, hulle het woorde met die BMW mense gehad. Toe die polisie daar stop is almal net gese om in hulle karre te klim - geen arrestasies is gemaak nie. Ons is eers polisiestasie toe. Daar het 'n konstable Grobler gevra om die polisie stasie te verlaat, sy het geweier om 'n verklaring af te neem omdat ons te emosioneel is. Ek & Neville is toe na Flora kliniek toe geneem vir mediese behandeling. Daar het Vollies, James & Ella van die Hoodlums ons bygestaan.
Ons het vanoggend poging tot moord, diefstal & aanranding sake gaan maak teen die mense, ek vra almal om asb op die uitkyk vd BMW te wees, registrasie JJR 882 GP. Die mense is gevaarlik!!!
Dankie vir almal klub bikers & non klub bikers. Dankie vir julle bystand Saterdag aand, ons waardeer dit vreeslik baie.
Neville & Luzet,
Night Shayde MC
We have already established the Highveld Bikers Forum some 2 years ago. Sakkie Gelderblom, the founder of the Highveld Ulysses, was the Highveld Ulysses Chairman at the time. Sakkie founded and also chaired the Highveld Bikers Forum for the 2 years. Unfortunately, due to personal problems, Sakkie has resigned the Highveld Ulysses as well as the Highveld Bikers Forum.
On the 23rd January we had the Forum’s first meeting for 2008 and a new committee was elected. I am the events coordinator for the Highveld Ulysses and was voted in as the new Chairman of the Forum for the next two years. Sam de Beer is the President of the Fast & Furious and he was voted in as Vice Chairman of the Forum.
At present we have 17 clubs in the surrounding areas who are members of the Forum and some of these clubs are as far as Standerton, Kriel, and Bethal, with the majority in Secunda. Basically, we are just one huge biking family with different back patches who enjoy riding together.
All in all, we have about 30 clubs in our area of which some of them are still contemplating weather to join the Forum or not. Some of them are very small clubs and one of our rules are, a club must have at least 6 bikes before they may become Forum members. Otherwise you have a husband and wife combination, call themselves a club and want to shout the odds at Forum meetings.
The main objective of the Forum is to ensure that there is little to no clashing of runs and rallies between the clubs around here. We are not there to sort out animosity and kak between clubs, that, they must sort out in their own time. But I must admit, there is very little of that.
Regards to everyone there and hope to meet you one day. Hennie Erasmus
