  1. I agree. Its not on that riders just ride down the highway. Not only is it dangerous, but it makes us look like pricks. And thats all we need. Big deal, we did a race...that does not make us super important. Ride the back roads...

    With reference to the earlier post in which someone was locked up, she was locked up for being in the wrong EM. She was arrested for being in possesion of something that was not genuine. That licence was issued by somebody corrupt, and after it was proved that she was innocent, no charges stuck. So my point is still, if your ass is thrown in jail, its coz you have done something wrong...if you are innocent, you need not worry.

    Eezymiles, you made the post yourself, and in so doing chose to enter this debate. If your ass got thrown in jail, its probably coz you were doing something wrong.

    It was terrible what happened in the old SA. No denying that. But now its very much the same thing, and as Slowpoke pointed out, retribution will never accomplish anything other than prolonged hatred. But, the old SA did have its vantages. We did not need the rest of the world for anything, and now we cant take a pee without having to apologise for it.
  7. Ugh,thats not a nice image...

    Exactly Foe Fighter. Thats my point exactly. Something needs to be done, and sitting idly by will achieve nothing. What was the line in the movie V For Vendetta... "People should not fear their governments, Governments should fear their people"

    You cant ride it Eezymiles, its gonna get stolen from underneath you.. There is nothing wrong with moaning, I think it needs to be done more. Because we are letting them get away with it. We may have been F#&*ed up when it was given over, but it had order. Now its a shambles, and even worse than before.

    Holy crap. Thats shocking. But believable. "To protect and serve"...hardly the case. Whoever that was, I hope they get every penny.

    You have a valid point. Its just wrong what goes on in SA. Napalm, I think that is half of the problem in SA. Nobody ever complains enough. If it were most civilized countries in the world, the people would have voiced up and complained till something was done about it. Not SA. Were too afraid of putting someones nose out of joint. My opinion is this, whatever way you look at it, its only taken a few years for affirmative action to destroy the country. Eskoms big deals need to come to my practice to explain to my patients why I cant treat them due to power cuts. Its a frigging disgrace...and to recieve a R13 million bonus?!?! WTF? I truly hope SA lose the World Cup...and if they dont, I am starting my own business selling Body Bags to the airlines for 2010.
  12. Listen to me...do not ride with it again. Replace it. Or you will be replacing teeth in the near future. A crack no matter how small is not good...and with the strain and weight resting on the fork during a ride, its only gonna get worse.
  13. I didnt say they have to replace...but you will have to. What fork is it? Did you cut it yourself?
  14. Cookie, heard of EPO?? Just a thought!!!
  15. Dont take a chance. Take it straight back to the supplier and get it replaced.

    road bike

    If you buy a bike simply based on aesthetics, you are going to be very upset with your purchase in the end. Also, if your prepared to go out and make a R25K purchase the first time, then you really need to get your 'ducks in a row' Go to a bike shop (ie Cyclelab) and discuss the intended riding with someone in the know. Just purchasing a Cervelo coz its widely accepted as a great bike is foolish. If you have never ridden a proper racing bike, you are not going to be comfortable on a Race ready machine like that. Your money would be better spent getting a slightly less expensive bike, but something thats going to work for you.
  17. Aiight!!! Respek...Booyakasha!!!
  18. You guy's (EWEP 1Hill) obviously support the local trade, judging by those last post's?!?!
  19. I'm glad to see that...its good for Cyclelab to be involved with a pro team. But does that mean everyones gonna buy the new Bianchi's instead of Cervelo?!?!
  20. Yip, thats Campagnolo for you...
  21. Nope...thats my team Boeing!!! You'll be thinking "????????? the F@%K, Those guys look ridiculous" COMING SOON TO A FUNRIDE NEAR YOU...
  22. You are not wrong Mampara...the GIOS is a damn nice bike. I like the way you could adjust the bikes length to suit your ride!! Good bikes Gios...even in that blue!!
  23. Nope...you missed the other thread Joss!!
  24. Either that, or they really love the bikes in question...
  25. Yip...everyone wants a Colnago! Thats why the votes are so high!! Even though they ride Cervelo's, in the back of their minds they'll always wish they'd bought the Colnago! Spoke to Scorpione last night...its gonna be like an apocolypse!! So, if anyone wants to buy a car and contribute to my Prince?? I have a black 2004 330ci?!?! Check it out in AutoTrader!!!
