Ons fietse / Our Bikes
Ou Ryperd (roughly translate to Old Riding Horse)
Ou Ryperd is die langste in die stal. Laat 2013 kans gewaag om my F650 te parkeer en die 2006 GS te koop, kom daar uit die Noordwes. Ou Ryperd is so hard soos klip en purr nog net so voort soos toe hy nuut was in 2006.

Ou Ryperd is the longest in the stable. Late 2013 I took a chance to park my F650 and buy the 2006 GS from a bloke in the North West. Ou Ryperdis as tough as nails and still purrs like when it was brand new in 2006.

Klappiesgat
Klappiesgat was my tweede fiets, eerste GSA, se naam, 'n Karoonaam. Met my eerste besoek in Merweville, het my tante Annette (Net-Net) vir my vertel dat haar skoonpa, 'n stoere Karooboer, 'n motorfiets sò genoem het na aanleiding van die klapgeluid wat die "two stroke" in daai tyd gemaak het. Klappiesgat is in 2017 verkoop na 67000km se werk, kerk, en saam speel... Dit was 'n moeilike dag. Ek hoop die naam leef voort.

Klappiesgat was my second, but first GSA, motorcycle's name, a Karoo name. With my first visit to Merweville, my aunt Annette (Net-Net) told me that her father-in-law, a tough Karoo farmer, called a motorcycle a "Klappiesgat" (loud arse) as a result of the noise that the two strokes made in those days. Klappiesgat was sold after 67000km of work, church, and playing together ... It was a hard day. I hope the name survived.

Tanya sin / Tanya's
Om my Vrou nie net te laat agteroppie wees nie, maar ook deel van die pret, het ek vir haar 'n GS gekoop. Sy het een trip gedoen en daarna besluit dit is nie vir haar nie, en my vriend Henrico het so vir hom 'n GS gekoop ...
|
In wanting to get my wife to not just pillion but be part of the fun I bought her a GS. She did one trip and decided it is not for her and so my friend Henrico bought himself a GS...

Ghülandt
So sien ek die advertensie kyk na die sak en weer na die motorfiets en maak toe maar skuld. My eerste LC GSA. Wat 'n fiets. Die naam Ghülandt klink Duits nê maar is 'n samevoeging van Geloof, Hoop, Liefde, Abí, Niah, Dürandt en Tanya... Die hele familie en die "ü" rond die naam mooi af. Natuurlik geleen by Dürandt. Sy loop nog mooi en ons het al amper 60000km saam gedoen. Ons tyd loop uit.
|
I saw the advert looked at the purse and again at the motorcycle and then made some debt. My first LC GSA. What a bike. The name Ghülandt sounds German but is a combination of Faith, Hope, Love, Abí, Niah, Dürandt and Tanya ... The whole family and the "ü", borrowed from Dürandt, rounds the name of nicely. She is still running like clockwork and we have spent almost 60000km together. Our time is running out.
