Two new things for Mauritz

Mauritz is at the Air Force academy in Bulls - about 40km from Wanganui, but spends most weekends with the young crowd here. He has been anxious to begin guitar lessons and acquired a guitar last week! After his first lesson on Saturday - Pierre was also hanging about with things for us to help him do for the Big Braai event, we discovered that Mauritz had never IN HIS WHOLE LIFE been on the back of a motorbike.
This 'omission' had to be corrected and we scrounged around
for a fourth helmet so that we could take him out on a little ride.

This old helmet has no visor anymore - no matter, a huge pair of sunglasses sufficed and I happened to snap this moment while Mauritz waited for us to get enough jackets and gloves and things organised to take two bikes out for a leisurely ride! (It seems that he reckoned he could get some practising in for next week's lesson while he waited!)

He rode out behind Pierre on the 'old lady' 750 and back behind Jo on the 'big bike'!
We think he enjoyed it immensely!
Dis al!
