  1. i.e. dont pop a wheelie over the finish line because your tjip wont be aligned
  2. 1) yeah right, when ? They've been Timing 947 for the last 2 years already. 2) hopefully the children that designed the interface have developed some new skills by now and will improve it drastically in the next version.
  3. That BL group would have been our faster of the 2 groups, I was in the second BL group
  4. many years ago when we first started doing "the august" , 2 or 3 pink buses would pull into Fish Hoek over the same weekend. These buses were full of Swedish (at least I seem to recall them being swedish) students on some sort of back packing holiday. It sure was a sight to behold
  5. doubt a motorbike of that age would have a tracker in it, there is a much better chance that the cyclist had some sort of GPS device tracking his ride. Also someone mentioned it was an ebike
  6. I think its how I lifted the screen off the casing, I may have partly separated the electronics from the LCD. Because when it was apart, if you push on that area the discoloration shifts. In the dark, with the back light on, it made that corner hard to see, but once there was sunlight around it was not an issue.
  7. first test this morning, 1h27m run time. Everything appeared to work as it should, and only 10% battery drop as opposed to the 50-60% drop I was getting out of the battery that I took out. So far so good.
  8. Has anyone heard any more info on the bike jacking this morning on Rondebuilt Rd Boksburg, close to the sink hole ? We were on route, pretty close by, when some cyclists came from the opposite direction and warned us, so we decided to rather turn around and ride a different route.
  9. is that why you put earlugs in when you ride ? Harleys are noisy from the factory, and then people go and put louder pipes on
  10. I started reading, left a comment, tried to carry on reading and decided the juice wasnt worth the squeeze. People are *holes
  11. Hahaha, not so certain. The bottom of the screen now has some discoloration, but I can live with that.
  12. I had a few words with some guys on twitter earlier today who seemed to think cyclists on chappies feel entitled and should go and ride somewhere else, I gave up very soon as it was the usual rhetoric and I did not feel like getting agitated.
  13. I broke it. stays on wait for gps, doesn’t seem to be picking up signal. opened it up again but can’t see anything obvious. eish!!!! edit. its working. it seems to be that the aerial for the gps runs around the casing of the garmin, these connect with little connectors to the pc board. But when I put the board back the wires from the battery prevented the board going down all the way, this means the aerial was not connecting. as soon as I rerouted the wires and fastened the board all the way down it picked up signal.
  14. Don’t know, don’t own either of those. Although I suspect the BOA has a bigger torx
  15. I’ll have uses for the other bits, I’m always taking things apart and having to make a plan because I never have the correct tool
  16. Battery installed. device powers on and seems to work. just waiting for the glue to dry before I charge to full. decided to use Shoe Glue. oh and had to buy a set of tools in order to get a T5 torx driver. Will test how long the battery last this week.
  17. again, where there is a will there is a way
  18. but in this 46th day of the year 2024, why the heck can nobody write a simple SQL query to pull the data from one db and add to another db ? Where there is a will there is a way, it seem like there is no will, maybe just a bunch of willys though.
  19. Can’t see the number plate properly but it doesn’t look like an SA plate on that car
  20. Be careful what you assume that I assume
  21. I dont know about that, they seem to be rather touchy about defending their choice in this thread. But each to their own. This mornings group ride we had a lady on an e-bike making sure the rest of us on amish bikes were as strong as we said we were. The fact that she was out front touching 50 kph tells me it was definitely derestricted.
  22. Ordered yesterday afternoon, received 5 minutes ago. will make time to attempt the install this weekend
