Friday, October 02, 2009EISH! IS FINALLY HOME After many weeks of waiting, arguments with SA Customs Officers & eventually the threat of legal action, we schlepped down to Joburg (yet again) to finally collect Eish! She was dusty from her journey, but had been cared for by the wonderful folk at Heneways Freight Services - Stuart & Graham went beyond the call of duty in making sure Hubs' precious cargo was kept safe & sound. After dismantling the crate & reassembling the handlebars, Hubs put a coupla litres of juice in & cranked her up...............oh Sweet Jaysus, is there any other sound more exciting than the roar of baffle-free pipes on a Harley? Hubs was like a junkie getting a fix after a failed stint in rehab!  During my time in the Sandpit I avoided driving whenever possible. I have the co-ordination skills of a retard & me & a left hand drive car were definitely not the best of friends............................there was the added hassle of complete & utter fuckwits who couldn't give a shit if they caused an accident - so like I said, I avoided driving. Since our return to SA, Hubs has done all the driving, cos it's a man thing innit? But then we collected Eish! & yours truly had to drive from one side of Joburg to the other & then on to Pretoria & the highway/road home to the throbbing metropolis (not!) of Ellisras. I haven't driven that kinda distance (by myself) for many a year & I admit I was a tad nervous. I let Hubs set the pace & we were fine until we got on the N1, when it started to rain. I was fine (thank you very much) in the Beemer, but Hubs really battled. It was a bitterly cold rain & we had to stop numerous times so's Hubs could thaw out & get the feeling back in his fingers. Thankfully, we made the trip back without hassle, although it took twice as long as usual & several large dops of Uncle Jack & a hot shower for Hubs to warm up, bless him. My fingers ached from subconsciously gripping the steering wheel too tight & the back of my neck just about siezed up with tension, but once we were home I soon relaxed.  The following day, Hubs was out in the garage, polishing up his baby. I'm normally the one who spends anything up to 4hrs cleaning his bike (I know, I'm mad!) but this time, I didn't even offer. It was a bonding moment for man & beast. I just made sure Hubs replaced the sweat he lost with essential fluids - i.e. cold beer!
Soon, all in our little world will be right. My partner in life is happy to have Eish! at home & I'm patiently awaiting the arrival of my TriGlide. The days can't go fast enough! Labels: Eish, Ellisras is not a throbbing metropolis, Heneways, hurry up and wait small.
