  1. I think those keys are some kind of cast aluminium/pewter alloy. Welding anything to them is nigh on impossible. I wouldn't risk a quick fix just to have the new bit break off inside the ignition barrel.... @Lexx, have a look at your insurance policy schedule. There is usually a clause in there specific to key replacement. That should be covered.
  2. That's what she said...
  3. My friend has a stock 701. I think it sounds like a sewing machine with the std pipe on... an Akra however is around the 10k mark just for the rear can!
  4. I have seen the seat on a 701. I think your mate did you a favor....
  5. I've handed it over to my broker. They can sort it out now.
  6. Great thanks. I will let my friend know.
  7. Anybody got a link to the full season of "Wayne" that isn't on YouTube? Asking for a friend...
  8. Vitality Drive is not flavor of the month at the moment... The odo on the Active rewards app hasn't updated since November 2018 so I have not been receiving any plays on the board. Standalone unit installed. I can see all my trips logged on the DQ Tracker site. Call has been logged, systems say that it is resolved yet still no odo update. Jumped through all the hoops (uninstall, reset, reinstall etc.) but still nothing. Escalated for the 4th time today so lets wait another 5 working days and see what happens......
  9. When I first got my 640, I went for a burn up Field's Hill. The bike died on me three times going up. (Not fun when the emergency lane is 200mm wide...) Switched to reserve and all was good (There was fuel in the tank) Drained the tank and removed the fuel tap when I got home and found a load of sh!t clogging the valve. Gave it a good clean and has been fine ever since. Fan not working might be the sensor or possibly a faulty fan relay or a broken fan. If the bike has a temp gauge, get it hot enough to where the fan should switch on and see if there is power to the fan. Trace it back to the relay and then the switch to eliminate faults. Good luck!
  10. As already mentioned by Ed, firelighters if you have the time and energy (Obviously be aware of what wood you are using). Otherwise, depending on the volume, add it to your DSW refuse bags every week. If you have a lot of it and can't use it, take it through to your local landfill and let then deal with it. You are in KZN so in the upper highway area you can try the Wyebank depot or take it to Marianhill. In Westville there is the Bellair Garden refuse depot that takes all sorts and actually has a good recycling depot for paper, plastic, glass and even oil (Don't let then catch you throwing anything other than garden refuse into the garden refuse skips! I was there when the shouted at some unsuspecting chap....) Otherwise Springfield is another option.
  11. Cue Enya: Sail way, sail away, sail away...
  12. That's why I asked....
  13. Asked and answered your Honor.....
  14. Are you subscribed to YouTube Premium?
  15. We watched Bohemian Rhapsody this weekend. I was skeptical beforehand but glad I Watched. Had goosebumps at the end with the Live Aid concert
  16. That was actually really amazing.
  17. I heard somewhere that some manufacturers bring some models in as "for off-road use only" and you won't be able to register them for road use. I think Honda did that with some of their 230s
  18. Anything that rotates deserves respect. After many rears of just winging it at work, I have realised that the law of averages is no longer on my side. I am no longer "on the tools" but when I work at home, the PPE comes out. Even the weed eater gets long pants, glasses and ear plugs. A stick to the eye can be disastrous and with my already deteriorating hearing, I am not letting it get any worse. There's still a lot of things I want to hear.
  19. ^^ This ^^ I like the look of "natural" wood. Danish oil leaves a satin finish on the wood while bringing out the natural grain. Apply, leave and wipe.
  20. Different style of riding. Going from Moto to MTB would be a help. My dual sport is too heavy to flick around and it reacts totally differently to any MTB I've ridden. Suspension is also way different. Having ridden an MTB however helps me choose better lines on tech downhill trails on the dual sport.
  21. Recently picked up where we left off with Ray Donovan. Season 5 should be done within the next few days. Always entertaining. Got Blue Bloods and Suits lined up next
  22. Buy the Honda. I'll even ride it down for you [emoji109][emoji110]

Mileage 36500kms Please PM me if you are interested. I will send his contact details to you.
  24. Agreed to a point. Problem is (and we have seen it at North Beach Parkrun...) people arriving at 8:40am and joining the many runners as they arrive back at Suncoast, scanning the barcode and collecting the 300 points followed by breakfast at Mug and Bean. (Probably the same people that go to the gym just to swipe their cards....) I have heard rumors of Disco changing the points allocation to 100 points for Parkrun. Essentially making it a participation event. If you want the 200/300 points you will need to log the heart rate instead of just attending. Any news about the mandatory 30 min "attendance" at VA to get your 100 points? i.e. swipe in and swipe out 30 minutes (minimum) later?
