Gold anodized rims will look hot on a Dt, actually didn't the 200 come with gold rims, think mine had gold?

Hehe considering how poorly executed his first and only run was and the consequences thereof I believed you. If you know you will slam from 4 stories up guaranteed and you take no precautions then you either really want to die or perhaps must be thick as 2 bricks. Macduff of all people should know better than to throw caution to the wind on the really massive technical stuff?

From what I have seen even the guys that have experience with riding loops know they will take a good few tries till they make it, ie the chance of you making it first time is just about zero, normally they make a huge foam pit or blow up landing cushion on the exit side. Matt goes sans everything bar a helmet and zero foam pit, the results sadly speak for themselves, fearless dude though!

Did monster pay for the building of the loop, that's a good R50k or few? Poor dude after all that work gets bone mashed on the first try. I wonder if they did the maths on rider speeds needed, entry/exit angles etc beforehand?

Sa prices - wait one year and pay Xt prices for slx brakes, but still those are sexy brakes and just about the best value for money brakes money can buy!

Shipping if not free and 15.4% for vat, that's for bike parts excluding clothes etc.

Anyone have any idea how much reclaimed(ie 2hnd) Burmese Teak sells for per cube, ballpark figure? Apparently it's around R120k per cube new

Will the shorts have zipped pockets at the waist, like normal walk shorts pocket position but zipped? Cargo pockets don't work so great when riding in my experience Will the fabric be 4-way stretch and abrasion resistant?

Siiiick! I love the lines on those Dt's, power wise when will a Dt200 pull away from a 125, right out the gate left in the dust or only a gear or 2 up?

Is this brand on or not, site allows orders but no size selection possible? One size fits all

How did the guy that got broken in the loop get fixed up again to ride? How is he doing? Edit. I see the loop thing wasn't connected to this, how is that guy doing?

I got the Terrex Trail Cross SL(latest version) - they are awesome, comfortable, not bad looking(could easily use them anytime or actually would be solid hiking shoes with the stealth rubber), tough as faq with the rubber toe cap, just about perfect stiffness(nice power transfer but you loose some pedal feel), stealth rubber so excellent grip. The one thing that did freak me out a bit is the soles not being flat but if your pedal spikes are nice and nasty and there's plenty of them incl over the pedal axle then it's fine. Some reviews I read said they were a bit narrow but I generally have problems with many shoes being too narrow(the Adidas Stans/Seeley etc I can't wear at all because they are too narrow) and these fit great, just a touch tight but I swopped the in-soles with some old worn in ones and I can see after a few weeks my feet will stretch the shoe a little and it will be perfect. Excellent flat pedal shoe that's also a bona fide hiking/walking shoe and reasonably cheap, really solid compromise all round.

Apart from the great spots to fish does Nz have many game fish species, I thought the best game fishing was in warmer temps nearer the equator?

Sjoe, heal up soon mate!

Yoh, that's a lot of plates n pins. What broke?

The Tdr 180, quite popular when they were released, haven't seen one for donkey's years, it was basically a modified Dt175 in a street guise?

How does it cost to ship the container Sa to Nz? Container shipping market is apparently very subdued at the moment, low volumes and ships sailing with less than capacity, rates are the lowest they've been for years, though that may only be the main routes.

Those gloves complete me [emoji14] Makes getting dirty a pleasure and if you buy them from industrial supply stores they are only around R15 a pair.

The blue with red and gold decals, man that's sweet looking, that Honda is a hottie! Congratulations!

Wish they had the blue/white colour, tired of black. But at that price I'll just have to suck it up! The colour is black/grey, what does it look like, it's not jet black?

Those little sidewall holes are a bastard to get sealed no matter the sealant, you often need to take the wheel off and do the Stans shake/dance/sequence/manoeuvre to get them to seal.... and normally then again tomorrow morning and if you are really unlucky the next day after that and after a week it's finally stopped leaking..

Despite being great bikes the 125Lc apparently weren't as reliable/bulletproof as the 175 or is that baseless hearsay?

Are you over there on holiday or also moved permanently? Would think the latter if the road bike is arriving by ship!

"The cassette, machined from case-hardened tool steel" ok so why can't us plebs with 10x and 11x get case-hardened tool steel cassettes? Maybe if you look after it you'll replace the bike before the cassette wears out... You'll see adverts " Bike is finished but cassette still 100%"

By Post office delivered to your door you mean EMS?
