2011 Blanket Run

Rynier van Tonder's picture

The Boland Chapter of the CMA had their annual Blanket run and Hamman Motorrad was asked if we would like to join the cause.

 

We extended an invite to all our customers who are on our mailing list and on a Misty Sunday 15 May, 22 BMW's and 1 Honda left our shop with 80 Blankets at the ready.

 

We joined the main group at the Pick n Pay Hypermarket Brackenfell and received our free coffee supplied by the guys from Jacobs.

 

A short riders' brief and a prayer later we all set off towards The Noord Agter Paarl Cold Storage on the N1, with a well oiled marshal team at the helm helping at intersections to keep the traffic flowing.

 

At the venue plenty off food stalls and Classic vehicles awaited us.  There were many trophies to be won by the guys who own them and to both the individual and group with the most blankets. The Hamman group just missed out with a few blankets due to a great effort by one of the attending Clubs, who donated well over a hundred.

 

We would like to thank all our customers who answered to the call of need and we can be assured that our effort will bring lots of warmth this winter to the less fortunate. 

 

If you would like to join us on future rides, please send me your details to rynier.vantonder@bmwdealer.co.za so that we can add you to our mailing list.

 

Hamman holds monthly out rides with al BMW bikes in mind.  We also support the Club in their rides were ever we can.
