Ulysses Bosveld Day Jol @ Tassiefees

Mon, 11 Mar 2013 10:26:48 +0000

The Ulysses Bosveld Day Jol took place on the 9th of March 2013 at the Tassiefees in Swartwater. All proceeds went to the Unitas Primary School and Koedoesrand Dau.

It was well supported by the local bikers and even a couple from Pretoria and Krugersdorp.

Some of the bikes at the Jol:

Daar was 'n tyre-slinger kompetisie:

There was a slow race - the winner had an unfair advantage - a member of the CMA and on a Yamaha ...

Die dans en vermaak:

Kids Beauty Parade:

Die mense:

Kinders het baljaar ... check die een met die Roadhog baadjie ... gin wonder hulle klub is so groot nie - begin hulle jonk!

Die Meneer & Mejuffrou Ulysses Bosveld Jol? My nie-amptelike keuse want hierdie vrou het deelgeneem, kinders versorg en haar man ondersteun ... alles in een asem. Ons ou Maat omdat dit nie so lekker sou wees sonder die gees wat hy na die party toe gebring het nie.

Dit was 'n LEEULEKKER baljaar en die Bikers het 'n klomp geld vir 'n goeie doel ingesamel!

Motorcycle Toy Run Celebrates Milestone 30th Anniversary!!

Mon, 08 Oct 2012 11:05:57 +0000

That’s how long the Motorcycle Toy Run event in South Africa has been happening! An amazing number of years that the motorcycling fraternity has been donating toys to make the lives of less privileged children a little better!

From a small run organised by the Italian Motorcycle owners Club (IMOC) in 1982 it has grown to a country-wide event where motorcyclists gather to give in toys by the thousand. These toys are re-distributed to the needy by recognised service clubs like the Round Table, Rotary International and
the Lions Club.

In recent years the focus has been to request educational gifts or packs for the children. These along with ball games are the most popular items when handing out.

In the last 30 years many sponsors, support staff and service clubs have come and gone BUT the Motorcycle Toy Run event is still running.

To celebrate this great achievement a carnival style event is planned at the Benoni Northerns Sport Grounds (John Barable Hall) at the end of November. This coincides with over 20 similar events being held around the country.

Already confirmed for the day are 3 popular bands using the SAB sound stage and over 80 various stalls and food vendors. Other entertainment will be provided to please the crowds.

Although this day is focussed on the motorcycling community it is open to the public and there will be secured parking for cars and bikes. The public is encouraged to attend and bring their entire family along. The entrance fee being a toy (or many) for the less privileged children around us.

This year the Toy Run has partnered with Canai South Africa to gather unwanted, old cell phones (working or not). This will ensure a ‘green’ disposal of those which cannot be repaired and those which are will be redistributed to people in poorer communities. PLUS they have promised school stationery packs for successful restorations. So dig in those bottom drawers for the old phones you don’t need and bring them in.

Part of the celebrations also include a massive motorcycle give away of 3 bikes courtesy of Honda Kyalami and a performance motorcycle exhaust slip on canister from Inferno Performance Exhausts plus many other smaller prizes throughout the day and the entrance to that will cost you… a TOY or educational gift!

Toy Run Date For 2012:
25 November

Action Trackchair - The all-terrain wheelchair to go off-road

Thu, 08 Mar 2012 12:06:25 +0000

The Action Trackchair is the ultimate in off-road wheelchairs. You’ll go places you didn’t think possible. Mountain roads, campgrounds, the woods, the beach, mud, snow, etc. Now you have a choice to stay on the hard surface or go off-road.

Up to a point its specifications are nothing out of the ordinary – it has an eight-mile range and a top speed of five miles per hour.

But what makes this wheelchair different is that it has tracks instead of wheels, which means it can go almost anywhere.

The Action Trackchair is made by Action Manufacturing in Marshall, Minnesota, and is specifically designed to go off-road.

It’s happy powering across mud, rocky terrain and even in water.

The man behind the world’s toughest wheelchair, Tim Swenson, came up with the idea after his son, Jeff, was paralysed in a car accident.

He said: ‘Looking at Jeff and the challenges of being in a wheelchair, and of course me being in the motorsports business, I started putting two and two together. How can we put tracks on a wheelchair? How can we make something go where Jeff would like to go?’

And coming up with the name was straightforward. ‘It’s a chair, it’s got tracks on it. And we always like action,’ said Mr Swenson.

He added: 'The difference in people lives have been remarkable, many are doing things they've never done and some others are getting back outside where they used to go.'

Let the adventure begins!

Tue, 06 Mar 2012 07:04:35 +0000

In South Africa the 1st of May is not only Labour Day and a public holiday. It marks the opening of the official hunting season.

Rifles have been zeroed on shooting ranges, hunting bows checked and re-checked, ammunition bought, knifes sharpened. In the South African hunting fraternity best shot placement on the different animals has been discussed again and again, calibre and load for the hunt, the menus worked out for the campfire food.

Even bookings have been made in advance and deposits paid. But some of the hunters haven’t booked yet. They don’t know where to go and who to contact. This may prove usefull: (click on) Limpopo Hunting gives a list of hunting destinations with contact detail.

Hunting can be done in all the South African provinces. Here is a couple of places in other areas:

Driekoppen Safaris in North East Freestate with luxury accommodation for the biltong and trophy hunter, rifle or bow. Lots of game. +2758 913 3355 | +2784 514 6376 | 3hoek@lantic.net.

South Africa from the air - book a ride in a hot air balloon

Tue, 10 Jan 2012 09:10:01 +0000

There are few experiences quite as tranquil, yet exciting as a ride in a hot air balloon. The ride can be romantic and exhilarating at the same time and adventure seekers will be able to experience South Africa's beautiful scenery from a different perspective – an adventure everyone should add to their bucket list.

While the weather in some areas in South Africa allows tour operators to offer rides at any time during the year, other areas are limited to summer months. The overall experience, including breakfast will normally take a few hours, while the actual trip usually lasts about an hour. Trips are commonly scheduled to start just before sunrise.

If you live in the Gauteng area Hot Air Ballooning SA and Air To Air Africa offers a unique hot air balloon experience. Their pilots will make sure you are well taken care of during your trip over the Magaliesberg area. This is also the perfect time to experience the Cradle of Humankind, a World Heritage site from a different perspective.

The tour operator has won numerous safety awards for their hot air balloon trips and if you are hungry afterwards, you can look forward to an exquisite champagne breakfast.

For those who live in the Cape Winelands, Winelands Ballooning offers a unique hot air balloon adventure over the Berg River Valley outside Paarl. Rides are offered from November to April and include a full breakfast at the Grande Roche Hotel in Paarl.

If you reside in the Durban area, Sky Adventures offers similar hot air balloon rides in the region, including breakfast and champagne.

Witness sunrise over the Drakensberg Escarpment with Sun Catchers Hot Air Ballooning near Hoedspruit in Limpopo where you can experience the magic of a lighter-than-air flight. The terrain is a mixture of farmland, private nature reserves and wildlife estates.

FAILED Bungee jump in Crocodile-infested Zambesi River - on Video

Mon, 09 Jan 2012 08:15:39 +0000

An Australian tourist, Erin Langworth (22), is lucky to be alive to tell about her death-defying experience after a bungee cord broke resulting in her falling into the Zambezi River on New Year’s Eve.

The bungee cord snapped as she was at the end of her 111m jump from the Victoria Falls bridge on the border of Zimbabwe and Zambia. She survived the impact from the fall and overcame two more life-and-death situations: to be dragged downstream towards rapids whit her feet remaining tied and being attacked alive by crocodiles that infest this African river.

She untied herself when the rope was caught on rocks and was able to swim to the Zimbabwean side of the river where she was reached by rescuers and airlifted to a hospital.
