Middelburg Trip on the Harleys

It might seem to you as if Guns and Harleys is in hiatus but actually we have been very busy.
We have been working on the paperwork for the collection of World War II. It has been so interesting doing the motivation for Lowveld Firearm Collectors Association. We have had to research each pistol and going back in history and seeing where they were used, where and how they were designed and manufactured has been fascinating.
We are now on the last leg of getting all copies of documents certified and accumulating all this information in the order that is required of the authorities.
We have not been able to do a long ride on the Harleys as we have had more than two
Middelburg with Ada and Loggie
weeks of consistent rain. Everything is waterlogged and it is virtually impossible for the garden service to mow the lawns and see to the flower beds.
The weekend though the sun broke through and we made the most of it.
After church on Sunday we decided to hit the highway, destination Middelburg in Mpumalanga. We called old friends we have not seen since we left the farm last year and told them we would drop in for a cup of coffee.
This was the most kilometers (300 round trip) in one day done on the Harleys so far and we could feel it in the backside so when we got to Middelburg and Ada and Loggie who will spoil you to bits when you visit had a braai (barbecue) with all the trimmings - even home baked bread and jam.
I loved the ride - I loved the lunch - I loved the people we were with - I love life.
