Oooo yes mamma ! I am going to make my mark,I am on stby on Wed and could be working for most of the day, but I WILL get to voting station............my promise to myself !

Sorry 55,but like I say,I a thinking about it. I don't even have them with me anymore.......in storage,the MTB goes anywhere anythime,so it was saved from the the dark shed :-) , and it slipstream so nicely down Bothalaan to Groenies hehe , soryy back to the mothers slipstreaming without permission :-)

I am also seriously thinking of selling my Bianchi C2C as the last time I rode it was at the 2010 OFM Classic and my newly built-up Scott S2. The road just don't do it for me any more. Sorry off the slipstream topic ,,,,, sorry,sorry,sorry !

With you on this one Paul,I will be there. That Wierdaroad is bad news with racing traffic in fancy cars making there way towards Sutherland Rigde . I was in a very bad motorcar accident there myself 5 years ago...........also a speeding motorist. Culprit just got on a aircraft and fled the back to his home country-India,nice hey ?

Where about on Wierda road did this horrible thing happened? RIP dear cyclist,condolences to the family.

Yip I agree,what ever"floats your boat",very true ! I have also heard before "why bark when you have a dog" (in my case mhew when you have a cat)

So?? Bottom line is ????

So I'm the most paranoid person I know..................Ain't you the bicycle bomb thread"starting" person too? Sorry,I just could'nt help mentioning it.

Neither do I want to pick a fight, I did not for once say it's ok to fly with them,I mearly said, that a pressurized cannister onboard does not pose a risk at all,don't see this as it's ok to check it in,no that's not what I say, The fact that Solomans has send you a box is not a problem either,read my post re airfreight and the different criteria it goes through, Please note I am not trying to be clever here, just replying on something that I have some idea on,and not trying to be funny or MR"know it all" at all. I hope this clears up what you see as contridicting myself?

Nothing will happen to the air inside the canister,and even if the tiny seal in the front pop(thats the weakest part of the cannister it will simply just deflate without your bikes presta valve attached to it . The pressure inside most pressurized aircraft you fly does not differ much from the pressure you experience around you at Johannesburg wow the cabin altitude is around 5500 feet when you at your cruising altitude.(eg 35000 feet) Sylicon boobs increasing in size mmmmmmmmmmmm,I have never heard of that, but I will ask a hostie I know that just had hers reconstructed.

Well done, you have done the right thing,thank you 111 This make flying even more safe if we just respect and apply what the Civil Aviation request us to do. About 25 years ago a mine worker from Phalaborwa"stole" borrowed,or what ever you want to call it, a piece of explosives( I can't remember the excact explosive). On the decent not far from the "then"called Jan Smuts airport this small amount of explosives exploded and blew the aircraft out of the sky with all dead onboard............the guy that took the"stuff" onboard, was no criminal, just took something that he saw as safe onboard and the whole thing turned pear shape. Just not worth it. Remember it's not your 16 grams of compressed air the airlines are concern about BUT what is inside that canister......the x-ray machine can't see through the canister.

The "bomb"cannister is not the PROBLEM, it's what could possibly be inside the cannister that's the danger...........therefore the regulation not to fly any cannisters........O2,Fire Ext, bicycle bombs etc..........similar to you ain't allow more than"x" quantity liquid onboard that you brought through security( you can buy as much as you whish past security). I would hate to be onboard an aircraft where a bicyle bomb charge with eg pepper spray leaks and cause the aircraft to become incapacitated. So I think the idea is not to transport your bombs with you on a passenger flight. Pure cargo aircrafts differ very much from passenger-cargo flights, there ammunition,and all sorts of other forbidden goods are carried, but the criteria and the monitoring of these goods are much more controlled than pax flights, each and every piece of cargo is x-rayed and sniffer-doged.Flying the public is my business and I would hate to have anything onboard knowingly than could affect the safety of my passengers..... I have carried about 1500 passengers the last 5 days SAFETLY around the country,and is very greatful for the security measurements in place, there are some pretty f.....-up people out there.

It depends what the security personel is like,if they know what they do, and do there job, your"bomb"will stay behind. The actaul 16 gram compressed air cannister posses no thread to a aircraft re explotions. Transporting a rino or some elephants is more of a risk :-)

It just shows how inconsistant the security screening is. Scary stuff !

I can't see how any airline will let you fly with your Co2 bombs(canisters),it's got nothing to do with the bomb(16grams of compressed air),but to do with what other possible contents inside the cyclinder might be. If you could take pepper spray onboard the aircraft, and you give it ONE good sqeeze ONLY, you will put that WHOLE aircraft out of action. Yes the WHOLE aircraft,the air inside a aircraft get re-used about 3 times before it gets dumped overboard and replace with a new parcel of airconditioned air. So to get back to the bomb, they will let you fly with it,on the condition you de-presurrized the canister infront of the check-in staff, the same goes for passengers that need oxygen....sorry,the airline will supply you with a both O2 bottle and the mask. It's for your safety and mine of course. I hope this will cancel the possible irratation you might have experience with them robbing you from your bombs at security :-)

So,when are you coming to the farm,I will give you a day for free since you are dying for good weather :-) Make that booking now, I can promise you a very lush and over grown bush, my gosh I have never seen it like this ?

Ai man, if you were a week earlier, I could have given you a mavic freewheel body, but I have just move a lot of my stuff in storage as I am about to move out of my house into a rental job,and I don't have the fogiest idee in which box that Maviv freewheel body lies, dammit !!

There you go !

Bloody sad .but I find it true............I may not say............any other colour than the big bad white,otherwise I get made out to be racist!! This place is sad man.

Not trying to stir here at all, but I have found that the majority of South Africans are driving this way you just described"If you can't beat them, then join them" I personally find it f....ing sad.I see as many WHITEs driving like this these days.

Hope all of you that rode a sub 3 will be offered a living from cycling :-)
