Today


A word of thanks.

Thank you for taking the time to meet with us. Thank you for spending time to set our minds at peace and calm some fears.

Thank you for being 'real' where so many people and Christians are fake.

Thank you that I know that Alet will be in safe hands.

Thank you for your friendship, compassion and care.

And thank you for the cap. I will wear it with pride , knowing that a good friend gave it to me.

Thank you!.

May God bless you and guide you in this time ahead. May His will be done in the days and decisions that follow.

It is a privilege to call you my friend.

I wish...


When I was young my dad owned a Honda CX500 like this one. His was blue.

Specs : 500cc V-Twin
Liquid cooled
Shaft Drive
manufactured : '78 to '83

What a nice old bike. Lots of torque.Very forgiving. My dad sold his bike for R2500 and I was mad at him for months. I learned to ride on that bike. And ever since I had a thing for the CX's. I have always wanted to own one.

A while back I discovered one standing at an Engineering works here Uitenhage. Same colour and design as the one in the pic. It needs some work, and exhausts , but the otherwise it is not in bad shape.

And I have been dreaming and scheming and raking my brains for ways to acquire this bike. And slowly I have come to the realization that I will not own this bike. There is just no way that I will be able to scrape together the money.

And so I will keep on dreaming. Maybe one day.....
