East Rand, Weltervreden Park, but I motorbike to almost anywhere :)
E-mail me and we can set something up. Would be cool if we get the other JHB folk to join us.

Cool dude, yeah I agree, I use to work in Weltevreden park. Staying in Randburg. We can go to the waterfront or something and chat about some game dev stuff. Say in January sometime?

Seems like the only other JHB Torquer is Roelof. Keen took get together in January to chat a bit about game dev stuff and projects you are working on?

@Burning: I've got a Kawasaki RSX 1984 frame with a 750 Honda Nighthawk 1996 engine (like a modern CB750). Looks kinda cool and is a helloffa conversation piece :) Customisation since some &%$*@ changed lanes on me on the N12 a few years back. Goes well.
Congrats on getting baby back. I know what its like to wait..... I eventually had to dive in and help fix mine (after 8 months of 'we'll start next week').
We should definitely set up this meet for the first week in Jan. Nick suggested (in a PM to me) we meet at Waterfront.

LOL I'll do a breakfast run but it will have to be in my VW Polo lol. Used to have a NSR 250 a long time ago.
Does a weekday suit you guys between the 3rd and the 13th? otherwise maybe a weekend sometime in Jan.
Let me know here what suits you the best.

Weekday during this or next week is fine by me. I can pretty much schedule my workload around any time, so it's up to you guys. (Better try make it before afternoon rush hour though - as an ex-CT dude these highveld thunderstorms have me scurrying for the nearest bridge :)
