Ted Simon talk at BMW Atlantic Motorrad on WEDNESDAY 1st December at 18h00 for 18H30

I'm keen. Well done for organising. Should be an interesting talk.

I'll be there..!!!

Ok so the date changed  

I won't be there

Apologies   I had forgotten the BMW club meeting is on a Tuesday , and since Sir Ted had used a BMW on his 2nd world tour it would be nice if a lot of BMB club members can attend his talk, hence the move from Tuesday to Wednesday the 1st December . I am sorry you cannot make it RA  

The correct date is 1 DECEMBER 2010 , to book please e -mail Dave Higgs from Auto Atlantic at DAVID.HIGGS@bmwdealer.co.za

I found Ted once halfway up Ganaga pass tumbled over in a ditch with a 650 Dakar. The bike had fallen so awkward one man would never get it out there, helped him get the bike back on the road and without a clutch lever on his bike pull started him and then let him drive none stop to Ceres. Never saw him again! That was about 5 years ago! Nice and quite chappie!

Would like to attend.

Thanks Hamid and Brent you are added to the list , see you there

Hi Goose , have added you and your wife  

Re Parking arrangements . If you are on a bike you can park in front of Atlantic Motorrad in Beach Road on their "stoep".

If in a car please park in the Waterfront . The BMW Pavillion/Granger Bay Parking Garage directly below the dealership is a good bet as it has a lift that goes right up to the first floor of the BMW Pavillion where the lecture room is. Entrance just to the Sea point side of the dealer in the Waterfront.

See you all 6 for 6.30 tonight

Hi . Ted's Jupiter's travels and Dreaming of Jupiter books willl be on sale tonight at the talk . And there will be a cash bar . See you all there.

Try and book here , but if you have not booked it is fine to just arrive at the talk tonight . Its R50 per person attending.

BOTH books extremely worthwhile!! Nice to see Jupiters Travels being available... it went out-of-print and I struggled for a while to get my copy....

What a fantastic visit by Ted Simon, special thanks must go to Renette for organizing his trip to Cape Town and all the arrangements for the talk last night.

Also thanks to all the Wild Dogs who supported the event, much appreciated. To JP Wilson who arranged and sorted out the laptop and sound for the evening well done!!

Agreed.

Fantastic evening. Ted Simon is a very interesting, charming and humble guy. Huge thanks to Renette for organising everything.
