Tumbleweed Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Who was your mate? I had a white Topanga, Walker 91. John Stephenson. He was in Skidd. I left in '92. Was in Gold Fields from '89 to '91.
PeterF Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 I am old school (52) but completely refuse to ever grow up or compromise on what I believe are reasonable standards...Right now we are building a very exciting little bike shop in Grahamstown with strong feelings about bicycle care and culture, an educated client base with potential for huge growth is who we happily serve.We have been looking for admin staff for some time now with no success .... out of way over 400 applicants not even 1 rides a bicycle of any sort, some feel over qualified proving to be unteachable and some just dont have a hope ...If you know of a teachable person of any age, gender, race or whatever that wants to work (if this person rides a bike that's just great) please get said person to contact us at The Motion Shop 044 6229580 I think you should correct your telephone number. It should be 046 6229580.
Dirtbreath Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 John Stephenson. He was in Skidd. I left in '92. Was in Gold Fields from '89 to '91. Yes, I remember John. I got shipped to Cullen Bowles post Walker shutdown.
Tumbleweed Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Yes, I remember John. I got shipped to Cullen Bowles post Walker shutdown. John was a good lad. Introduced me to surfing. Spent a bit of time with him in Kalk Bay post-varsity. Lost track of him for some years, but then he popped up on Bookface. He seemed a bit addled. Had been hitting the drugs a bit. Seems to have pulled himself together and is surfing again.
gogo@ Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 I vote you should organise a MTB race/ride over a day or two from XXX to Bathurst (making use of all their awesome single track along the river) and back via Kenton or so. ..We are looking into something like this! And there are some great routes on public dirt roads too, with plenty of climbing. So we are definitely spoilt for choice.
The Motion Shop Gtown Posted October 17, 2013 Author Posted October 17, 2013 Thanx all for the happy feedback .... you all invited to come play wheneverWe have found someone to turn into an order meister - as long as she doesnt sing too loud we will get on just fine (I - the mechanic dig classic rock and the sound of my own voice) Tumbleweed 1

We probably rubbed shoulders back then. Small world.
