North Coast Kawasaki Family Day

Riders :
Aroon - borrowed Debbie's (Craig Byrne's missus) quad
Aziz - sat in front of Dad

Trail : 10-15 km trail on Van Heerden's farm
GPS : no
Bikes : Kawasaki (?) 80cc semi-automatic

North Coast Kawasaki hosted a motorcross family day at Van Heerden's farm (Eteza track) with some quad bikes on demo.
Amongst the bikes there, was the AEON Crossland 300 which seemed like and interesting bike, but I didn't get to ride it since a young chick hogged it most of the time.

I bumped into Craig and Family (incl. Debbie and Liam) who are FULLY into the quadding scene.
Debbie kindly loaned me her bike, and Zi and I thoroughly enjoyed the fantastic little (10-15kay) outride that had been prepared around the river, hills and bushes.
Due to us not wearing helmets (!), I proceeded VERRY cautiously, and was a but nervy around some of the more technical sections....rightly so, since young Liam did manage to take his new REVO 100 for a short swim in the river - that could SO have been us !

While watching some of the motorcross earlier, we had witnessed an accident, that reminded us of the inherent dangers of the sport we were about to enter - turns out the guy who fell on one of the jumps might end up being paralyzed !
