Try to Dillyn Leyds for UCT
UCT 52 / 21 CUT
CUT now properly farked
56@ Just For Kicks:
He’s a k@k AA ref who doesn’t deserve to be reff’ing anythin higher than 3rd team club games. And even that’s a close call.
The JHB clubs hated him as a ref. Almost without exception. He was “fasrt tracked” through the structures by the GLRU Ref’s Society.
62@ Scrumdown:It’s a shame, really, as we are desperate for some good refs
I had a Kawasaki 175 Dirtbike…. flok ek het my hol ‘n paar keer skeef geval op daai ding!
Man that thing had a power band at certain revs… being a 2-stroke machine and all.
Daai ding wou net voorwiel optel as daai power band inskop!
My Dad told me at a very young age, “When riding a bike, assume all other road users to be imbeciles who will do something stupid or unexpected, and you’ll stand a good chance of not getting knocked off.”
So far it’s been good advice for me, with my only “serious” accident my own fault.
IMO, people who ride bikes from a YOUNG age have a better chance of not getting knocked off than those who start late, purely because of experience, and the ability to spot the moron before they do something stupid.
CUT Not a bad team, just not polished enough.
64@ grootblousmile:Hahaha, I had one too, I think it was a KD, I can’t remember, in our youth we used to ride those minedumps stukkend!!!. Now that was fun!
Odendaal scores his hatrick
UCT 60 / 21 CUT
Poor CUT, nearly in with a try, only to be shunted all the way back and have a try taken against them
64@ grootblousmile:
I love 2 strokes. Pity that between the good old US of A and Honda they’ve basically been legislated out of existence.
Great power to weight ratios, & easy to maintain. Although, they are heavy on maintenance and fuel. Of course, pertrol heads just don’t give a damn about such trivialities.
67 @ Just For Kicks:
I think mine was the KDX 175…
Did your bike also have that viscious power band, which suddenly just kicked in?
Bought mine form an old toppie by the surname of Van Moerkerken.
He’d painted all the green plastic bits a brown colour…. so I had to take all the paint off to restore that wonderfull green platic on the tank and the mud guards. Bought it for R 400.00 or something silly like that.
So, looks like UCT will live to see another season of VC.
Will be interesting to see how Wits go next season. They have one of only a couple of Level 4 coaches in SA.
72@ grootblousmile:
KDX is a pukka off road motor. Lots of poke in that little stroker.
Final Score: UCT 60 / 21 CUT
65@ Scrumdown:My boet was turning right at night on an unlit, quiet road when a women hit him. It was just outside my old mans small holding, so we heard the noise. When we got up to the gate, my old man picked up my brother, and ran down to the car to take him to hospital and told me to deal with the woman. She said that he hadn’t indicated, and so was overtaking him. As I said, it was a very quiet road, so no other traffic. All you could see in the night was the yellow flashing of the indicator light, which was the only thing still unbroken on the bike. That was the day I stopped riding on the road.
72@ grootblousmile:Thats right, KDX. That was a mean bike. Awsomes power band.
So….UCT live to fight another day – they had better do better next season!
74 @ Scrumdown:
Yip, no ways that bike of mine was street legal… no mirrors, couple of tiny tiny flickers… so it was definately the off-road version.
Now for some Koshuis rugby
I know nothing about this rugby, except, I think, Dagbreek is Stellenbosch Uni????
76@ Just For Kicks:
“I never saw him”. Famous last words and utter BS.
SA drivers just don’t look for bikes for the most part.
In my experience of commuting in some HEAVY JHB traffic, Asian women are the worse, closely followed by Black upwardly mobiles in 4 x 4’s.
Funnily, taxi drivers don’t seem too bad.
Best is to stick to open roads, stay well away from the fools, and be wary when driving between lanes. My own rule is not to ride quicker than 20 km/h faster than the lanes of traffic I’m riding between. At that speed you’ve got a chance to take some safe avoiding action when a moron “doesn’t see you”.
81@ Just For Kicks:
Maties v Kovsies.
Talking about that Kawasaki KDX… I was about 22, and had locked the bike up in a little out room on my Ex’s family’s farm…. we were’nt even married yet.
Went there one weekend, was still a student then and found that the Ex’s younger brother, then about 19, had hot-wired the bike (one of the engine mountings was clearly loose – a sure sign that it had been driven).
I confronted him and he flatly denied it… but there was just too much arrogance in his face…. so I planted him one and knocked him straight on his arse, man down!
Took me months to get back into the good books of the then future In-Laws.
Ai the students. Beer in one hand. Skyf in the other, and one of them on the chest for the anthem.
I wonder what the Aus mob and Kiwi’s think when they see the spectacle that VC has become?
Try to Meyer Janse van Rensburg for Dagbreek… converted
Dagbreek 8 / 0 Vishuis
I don’t know how the rules work with the Koshuis rugby, but whilst I was studying winemaking at Elsenburg Agricultural College, one of the guys on my course with me played for Dagbreek, even though he wasn’t at university
86@ Scrumdown:Very jealous, I would think!!!!
88 @ Just For Kicks:
In your day you just had to be able to drink like a student to play for them…. hehehehehe
