Just read this: I was coming 4th but had a crash, pinched nerve, ribs etc. finished very badly in 83 in a world of pain. The guy who collapsed was an MTN 101 rider called gavin. He rode with flu and had a heart attack on the last climb. He is stable but will be off the bike for a long time. Here: https://www.bikehub.co.za/forum_posts.asp?TID=25612

Now this was a fun car to drive. In my opion, I would go the roll cage route. Has your's still got the original "dog leg" box, with reverse top left and 1st bottom left?

Firstly, to all you pioneers. You guys have inspired my to build a light and I don't even have a MTB yet I have only seen the Grandcell in 1.2v NiMH, but seen PureEnergy which are 1.5v, but are alkaline rechargeable. I will check my cost price on the Vanson 8 cell charger and Samsung Pleomax 2500 mAh tomorrow and post my findings. Pocketbikes2008-04-24 14:30:44

R2S2, Subfree answered for me. Bernard has his shop on the 4th floor (dunno the building's name) in Fontainebleau, Randburg. Cnr Maria str and 4th Ave North. I heard he is the only person who has the rights or something to do Nicasil. Dunno if it's true or not, but I do know he does the cylinders for most the bike shops around the country

Some great reading Our race bikes' cylinders are aluminium and the bores are Nikasil. I found it funny that we never had steel sleeves... that was until I started porting them, all I can say is Nikasil is hard

Ditto

R.I.P. Condolences to the family and GREAT strength for the kids. I seriously can't imagine my kid's lives without their mom Great gesture HR, and I would like to join this group, if I may.

Now, this is my story and I'm sticking to it... Pulled one of these moves... And about 8 seconds later... Needless to say, I now need a new rear tyre

To everyone that helped me get through this one, thank you. Whether it was offers of a small push, wheel sucking, great support out the bus or just being there suffering with me, you guys made me finish and I am thankful for that. I really think this is an awesome pic. I don't know why... Maybe a combination of the top of a hill, with a truck behind, and a lovely background. another great pic and one that could've been deleted

Broken elbow... Chilli, that sounds painful. Rest well and come back strong. Get well soon...

I got this e-mail earlier, and although I am English (sort of), I don't truly understand ALL of what Krisjan said either... but did have a good laugh Krisjan : "Goeie more. Maak vol met Super, asseblief." Attendant : "How much?" Krisjan: "Vol asseblief." Attendant : "I only speak English Sir!" Krisjan : "Noooo problem.... Good day to you, Sir. I currently feel a profound desire to replenish the propellant of my motorized vehicle. Therefore, I cordially request you to transfer, from your subterranean reservoir, a sufficient quantity of combustible fluid of the highest octane rating to fill the appropriate receptacle of the said means of perambulation to the brim." Attendant: "Hau!" ? Krisjan : "Do you have a problem Sir? I thought you said you spoke English?" Attendant : "English..... that? she is not English!" Krisjan: "My dear Sir, are you veritably attempting to insinuate that you do not even recognize the language which you allege to be your singular means of communication?" Attendant: "Hau?" Krisjan : "Let me attempt to elucidate in the most elementary terms your paltry grasp of the English vernacular is frittering away the time at my disposal, or, as I would put it, in a more civilized, intelligible language.... Dit is f**ken duidelik dat jy F**K0L van Engels weet. So, kry jou slapgat in rat en maak hierdie bl.ksemse kar se tank vol voordat ek hier uitklim en jou moer, want jy mors my donnerse tyd!!!!!!!!! Verstaan jy nou?!!" Attendant: "Ja,Meneer. Vol,Meneer! Afrikaans is beter, Meneer!" Pocketbikes2008-03-19 16:58:48

If no one claims, you can auction them of for ShaunH's sign campaign.

Who needs 5 when you can do it in 2... I see you are in for a good time, not a long time !! Pocketbikes2008-02-28 14:32:05

I see people asking for it to be over and drop it, then I receive a line of emails about this post... might as well add my 5c

Unfortunately, that associated them with Mr MClean which is unfortunate as the other club (cyclelab) have also been roasted for bad behaviour on the hub in the past. I agree, but someone must tell me that I ride like an idiot because I wear CycleLab colors, I will do like these kids and kick them... where the sun don't shine. I got my rules from the club about robots, riding style, courtesy etc and I obey them as best as possible (I do sometimes move a little into the road to miss glass or big stones that are on the side of the road). Some people give a small "piep" to warn me others blow the HOOOTERS for 5 seconds. Either way I know I was wrong and lift a hand to say sorry. If you are going to brand any of these as no good, because of a bad apple or two... you should climb back into your hole - cycle clubs, bicycle manufactures, cars, whites, blacks, photo copiers, pens, and anything else you can think of - these all have bad apples or duds, accept it and move on

another "one more thing", Hope the panel beaters do a good job !!

I don't think you need to say much more. The people that know you, know that you did not slam the sponsors purposefully, nor bullsh*tted about the event. You did what you thought was right, and that should be enough. oh, one more thing, about the kit they were in... Someone would have asked what colors they were riding in anyway.

My bike hasn't gained weight... actually, it lost some my bike's curves don't sag my bike doesn't moan when I ride another bike ... you get the picture and I better get outta here !!!!
