Bill
Bartholomew (Oudtshoorn)
Bill is the quiet type, measured and constant. Bill strongly believes that
he will bring some class to the chapter with his Harley......not too sure
about that, we have however started a collection in order to buy him a
portable oil pan! |

Webmaster:
Massimo(Max) Batinti alias "Hot Stuff" (Knysna)
Some say he is the "Original Hooligan", others say he is a "Man's man",
others say the "Lady's man", while others can testify that no
moon goes un-howled at when he is around. |

a strong, quite lady always willing

|
|
Fred
Fourie alias "Fixit" (Knysna)
Fred fixes everything, even things that don't need fixing. He even has
contact adhesive at the rallies, can you believe that? However he is made
famous for the manner and amount of Miss Wet T-Shirt stickers he can stick
on at any given rally.......by the way Garden Route Clubs, he is out for
hire! |

Whale
Rally Site Manager: Stephen Fry alias "Jim Beam" (Plenttenberg Bay)
Stephen also introduces himself as "purveyor of fine
motorcycles". Stephen judges the concourse de elegance, but he rides
an old Jap bike for which he won a Rat Bike award at the 2010 Whale Rally!
Reckons he may just get down to it and redo the bike soon though.
He's responsible to ensure that everything on site is in the right place
and that it all works. He also has to sort out disputes between stall
owners, entrants, campers etc. Stephen is not a big guy, but he is missing
a couple of fingers on one hand. This makes others careful of him, but he
is a real good man |

Elizabeth
Moolman alias "Busy B" (Mossel Bay)
Bettie is helpful, involved, kind and my oh my what a busy little bee. |
|
|
Kobus
Nel alias "Mr. Gadget" (Mossel Bay)
Kobus is not known as Mr. Gadget, for nothing. Everything and anything can
be found at a rally when he is around, a full bar with optics, a HiFi,
lights, electric leads, torches and much much more! Hopefully soon he will
realize that some of us need WiFi. Kobus also has other hidden talents....not many can accurately transfer
a R5 coin from pocket to
roadside barrier while in motion, or mow down the Knysna forest single
handedly in one night. |
|
|
John
Peel alias "Spare Rib" (De Rust)
John is 81 years old (yes you read correct, 81 years) and still going
strong. John is the grandfather of the chapter, let me tell you he can
teach young bikers a thing or 2. This man still attends all the rallies
and believe it or not, he still camps just like the rest of us. |

grizzly bear's! |

Yer". |

the airlines frequent flyer programs just to make sure that they have
accommodated for a million miles plus. |
|
|
Charl
Van Den Bergh (Mossel Bay)
Charl is known as Caravan Bob! I wonder why? I think between Charl, Mr. Gadget
and Fixit, they could jury rig almost anything. |
|

Area
Commander: Michal
Vermaak alias "Ou Lap" (Mossel Bay)
Mich is Mich, he has a passion for hot food, red wine and some other vices
too. Always working never standing still, but alas here is another tongue
speaking member, .....Nederlands...not sure that him and Pea are able to
understand each other. |
|
|
DJ:
Gary White alias "Deejay" (Sedgefield)
While seldom making a noise on his Yamaha, he makes a huge noise in the big
tent at the Whale Rally. He is Mr. Music and Mr. Announcer and always has
all the lekker jobs like running the Miss Wet T-Shirt competition. Gary is
a very likeable guy and a complete gentleman.
Apart from his music making and bike riding, Gary has many hidden talents.
He also gets things done efficiently and works hard for Ulysses, never
complaining about anything. |

|
Charmaine Wilbraham alias
"Gaia" (Sedgefield)
Charmaine is one energetic lady that
just simply does not seem to understand the meaning of the word
"Relax", always on the go and always looking for something to
do, there simply is no "Off" switch for this model!
Charmaine has many talents, but the
ones that really make her famous are her cooking skills - no one from the
chapter goes hungry when Charmaine is around, but wait that not all,
making sure that Hot Stuff and Mich have a constant supply of Chilies is
also one of her special talents, not to mention her ability to consume her
fair share of tequila at a party.
