We will see if the Girls from the Club will pose for a group photo for us to post ,so that ya'll can see what the Ladies of star Riders looks like.

Ups For Downs 2012 Calender Photo-shoot

Starriders adopted the "Ups For Downs" school in Blanco George as their local charity and our first act as Sponsors was to pose for their 2012 Calender. Four riders pitched up for the shoot with their Iron Ponies much to the Kid's delight and judging from their expectant faces and smiles they relished the opportunity to pose with the STARS on their motorcycles. We plan to be much more involved in fund raisers for the school and hopefully contribute more in the future. Thanks Heinz, Henri, Seegie for joining me today and making the Photo-shoot a huge success.

PAWS Run 2011

Starriders was well represented at this years PAWS Run hosted by the Ulysses MC. Attending the run was members from left to right, Hendri,Mandi, Gerhardt, Linda, Heinz,Jean, Suzette and Conwill. Jeans Mom joined the Stars as a guest on this run.

All the different MCs met at the bottom of York Street in George at the old Game Center's parking lot, where everybody bought Dog or Cat food to donate to the Knysna SPCA. There was a good turn out despite the chilly weather conditions, and we guessed that between 150 to 200 bikers showed up to show their support to the furry creatures.

 Linda joined us for the first time for this run as the SPCA is her favorite charity and she feels the little furry creatures can not speak for themselves and she showed her support by joining hubby for this worthy cause. She was truly a rose among the thorns and  we enjoyed having her along on this run and appreciate the fact that she braved the cold weather on the back of my bike. The other Stars showed their support and even borrowed her some glasses to prevent teary eyes.

The pre-ride discussion was short and sweet and the riders departed at 9:30 for our mass ride to the Sedgefield Arms in Sedgefield. The ride went smooth and there was no incidents or accidents and everyone arrived at Sedgefield Arms safely. Our group was a bit slower than the rest since we had novice riders in our group and the wind was chilly and thus riding slower suited us. The breakfast served was generous at R25 and comprised out of 2 slices of toast, scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage and chips.

Everyone had a good time and we enjoyed the ride and getting together as a group of friends. Thank you to everyone who made it to the run and out thoughts went to those that could not make it and hope that we can ride together soon again
