More about the incident:

4 attackers, two armed with long poles (2.5m long). One hit me on the back of my helmet, denting and cracking it and sending me flying. One grabbed bike with light still one and rode off North down bank to Barry Hertzog. Other three then tried to turn me around (probably to get cell phone and money). I stayed on my back, kicking wildly, hitting and shouting. My riding partner, who managed to dodge them, turned around and two other bikes approach from other side, so they abandoned me.  Phoned 10111, attackers started returning from bushes, ran to Puma garage with three bikes riding next to me and warned fellow bikers.
