We attend the Mohicans Rally in Langebaan

It seems like ages since I last attended a rally, well since I actually took my camping gear and slept over for a couple of nights, haven't done that for a long time. This past weekend saw the local chapter of the Mohicans mcc holding their annual rally in Langebaan and six of us went along to support and to "show the colours".

This cool picture by Michelle Liebenberg shows me arriving on my beloved 13 year old BMW which has now done just over 133,000km. Michelle takes great photos.

The rally certainly seemed to be buzzing with a lot of people coming through in the afternoon, those poor people who have to work! Friends and ex members of the club, Craig and Monica had a food stall set up so we made that our base after visiting the pub for a cold beer.

They were selling very nice boerewors rolls and lamb sosaties and were one of three food stalls at the rally.

We wandered around a bit, meeting and greeting, checking out the other stalls and the bikes being prepared for the concourse d'elegance.

As well as the usual games, many of which involve the consumption of alcohol, there was an interesting one that I hadn't seen before which involved contestants having to shake marbles through from one bottle to the next in the shortest time, it actually attracted a lot of attention with much shouted encouragement.

Inevitable law enforcement visit

We had a brief drive through visit by Law Enforcement but I must say that, at least on Saturday, they didn't hassle us and there were no road blocks on the way home. I don't know if there were any on Sunday but I doubt it.  Overly zealous law enforcement ruined a rally in Velddrif recently and from what I've read online bikers are fed up with the amount of roadblocks in and around Margate where the South Coast Bike Festival was held this weekend.

Good selection of trade and food stalls

We were framed! This wasn't our idea, Joe, Gerrie and I were chatting and this was thrust upon us!

Well done to the Mohicans for a well organized and well run rally, I hope that their expectations as far as attendance is concerned was achieved, bikers certainly seemed to be having a good time but then they always do.
