Ironman had the same problems in PE / Gqeberha a couple years ago. Cut your nose to spite your face.

Well done!💪🏼

or a 2023 S-Works, 2022 models are already so dated.

What makes you say that?

Sheesh... we get ripped-off.

I googled it and it seems Tramidol (opioid) is banded because it might cause motor skills issues. Not so smart to take if you ride in a pelotons of nearly 200 people.

Are all heart rate monitors waterproof?

Good-luck for your race! Take the time to put it on after the swim if you're not racing for the podium it will make no difference to your race.

By "tough guy" I was referring to the name calling and belittling.

Lol... lots of tough guys on the hub as always.

Should maybe change the title to: Bike Rip-Off - is it over?

This is what I get from google: "If an employee is driving the vehicle, branded or otherwise, then he will be taxed on the personal mileage he does unless all his travel is for business purposes. Regarding the branding, this can be claimed as a marketing or advertising expense by the company".

Okay I asked him about it, apparently if you brand the vehicle it can be claimed as a marketing / advertising expense to the company 🤷‍♂️

I don't know, I might even have the story totally wrong maybe you have to brand it if you buy it through the company? I'm no financial expert I can only tell you what he told me 🙂

He bought the vehicle through his company and if you brand it "magnetic decals" it becomes tax deductible or that is the story he told us. Edit: Okay I asked him about it, apparently if you brand the vehicle it can be claimed as a marketing / advertising expense to the company.

I have a mate who bought a brand new Defender just last week for his wife and he did not finance it. The rich are still rich and the poor are still poor. It's the middle class that's disappearing.

Guess it boils down to social status.

Not sure but thats what it looked like 🤦‍♂️
