  1. Having had a 800gs, I rate it highly. In fact, considering selling my 1200gs and getting the 800gs again. I didn't do much in terms of long trips with a pillion, but I understand it's not the most comfortable place for a pillion with the fuel tank being under the seat. Perhaps someone here with pillion experience could comment? Best test ride with the wife regardless.
  2. She is pretty. Typical Harley rider......looking at oneself's reflection on a ride
  3. Some further reading for those interested. https://www.moneyweb.co.za/investing/few-survivors-in-the-market-sell-off/ Solid advise in this quote: "Market declines feel very uncomfortable, but real money is made by investing at the bottom of the market in quality companies at good prices." There certainly are short terms gains to be made in you have an appetite for risk. Perhaps better though to heed the above advise.
  4. Not yet, will investigate further though.
  5. The Rand has properly tanked and with it the JSE. Must be some good opportunities in oil though, Sasol could be worth investigating...any thoughts?
  6. I'm surprised there aren't any indicators fitted, you know, just for show like on their cars
  7. Can't claim this is better than the original, but damn it's good...
  8. At a point, I was quite keen to get a Landy (actually the idea still appeals), but more than one Landy owner has remarked that the owning a Landy is generally only advised for back yard mechanic hobbyists
  9. Game Changers - game changing or sensationalism? https://www.mysportscience.com/single-post/2019/11/06/Is-game-changers-game-changing-or-is-it-sensationalism
  10. As I understand it, their estate would have been taxed prior to bequeaths payment, so recipients don't get taxed on inheritance. So you getting authorised to take receipt should not be a problem, but since there is a red flag raised by sars in terms of this transaction already, it's always wise to get professional counsel before proceeding.

    Oh dear, Marquez in hospital after FP1 crash. https://www.motorsport.com/motogp/news/marquez-hospital-fp1-crash-thailand/4552310/ If anyone has any further insight, please post links.
  12. Could this TdF throw any more curve balls?! What were the odds on rain, ice & snow curtailing events given the European heat of late Looking at the race situation, some top contenders will be crying themselves to sleep tonight, except Bernal of course..... What price to make the call on how to 'normalise' a fair, albeit a critical stage result. Frankly there is none, few will be accepting, but many will not! What a Tour so far! Bring on stage 20

  17. The plan was to do it with a Kuga, but got burned with the insurance costs
  18. And a bargain price too.....best you move fast on this deal!
  19. Another ex vegan speaks about his experience - good to see it's without bashing other vegans. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azVortse4VQ

  23. Bike licence is relatively easy here in SA. Once you've decided to get a bike, book your learners. It last for 2 years, so plenty time to get ready for the licence test
  24. Carlo, it's been an enthralling pleasure reading your musing, thanks. Rather that should read THANK YOU! Great effort on the bike followed with an arguably greater effort with the 'musings'. What I've learned from your escapade & reporting thereof is; much like life - have a plan, be well prepared, keep it simple & persevere the tough stuff. Finally, the job ain't complete until the admin is done.
