Ride on Rapide

[Graham Smith]

I’ve no idea who this is, or where it was taken.

Just a guess, Seth Effrica, heading towards Drakensberg.

Phil Uys?

Was it on the Facebook page?

It came up on my Facebook feed.

Well, only 1000- odd kilometers out! I remember being shown around Cape Town. For you Aussies who've never seen it, imagine the Grampians right next to the Great Ocean Road.

Phil Uys has owned this bike for more than 25 years and he was riding near Stellenbosch Cape Town and heading towards the town of Franschhoek….. There are many great motorcycling roads around Cape Town……

Couldn't pull myself away, the sound of that exhaust is wicked - 10 minutes well wasted

This is enough to get any Vincent owner aroused….

I didn't catch what the policeman said before you said, "Who cares, it's an old bike?" Also, why did he stop you?

On my Shadow clock, at rest, the needle is at 10 mph for the speed to be right when rolling. Yours is a bit higher at rest; is there a concensus for the correct needle setting?
