Title: Buffalo Rally South Africa
Post by: Karl on April 05, 2015, 11:51:42 AM
The annual Buffalo Rally took place over the weekend of 20 - 22 March 2015.  Not too big by US standards, only about 5000 bikes but a really good time was had except for the owner of the old Suzuki in the pictures

5000 bikes is a lot to me, but I normally attend FJ rallies 30 FJs is big attendance. Any speculation of how the fire started on the bike? Were you the only FJ attending?

The fire started because the starter clutch seized when the idiot was hitting the rev limiter, blew the starter off, sprayed hot oil and woosh. (see pic) There were three FJs that I saw, could have been more.

Yup, over here we say you cant cure stupidity with a pill, that's a rough translation of an old Afrikaans saying
