Pants Boy

Fixed.

As I understand, mostly drug related and domestic violence (read squatters gets drunk and moers his wife) as well as some attempts at 'farm attacks' - but the guys are super alert. They notice cut and lifted wires very quickly, which sorts out 99% of the issue (attackers lift/cut wires a day to three days in advance to ensure quick entry/getaway on the night they plan the attack) Nothing sorts out a shithead like being caught in a 'noose' as he crawls through a hole he made They're not talking out right now which normally means they have some stuff stirring - but if ever there is REAL trouble in town this is where I'll be headed. Bashewa.

OK the Bashewa guys don't roam that close to the city. Great pity, they know what they're doing and would've love to sort that **** out. Apparently it's quite crazy out by them at the moment as well ...

Does anyone know if the 'informal' plotwag out Bashewa way would be interested in, erm, some light duties in the area? Actually, lemme chat to one of them quickly and give feedback. They're good at sorting rubbish out.

For a quick run around my garage

Na watse kerk gaan die joernalis? Ek se maar net ...

Bianchi remember that there's TWO squatter camps in the area - Plastic view and the one by the cemetery ... somehow I think the cemetery one is involved in this ... I used to cycle with a handgun, but stopped that (for various reasons, one being maintenance, another being comfort and also it's not necessarily the best option - slow to draw, awkward to handle if you're really out of breath etc etc etc) but still carry my knife ... I just don't know. These guys just shot at two cyclists, seemingly without provocation, and without asking them to give it up first ... that's what's getting to me mentally. If you see it coming, or you're in a situation where you actually have options, it's one thing, but this? Farked.

Problem 1 solved ... As far as problem 2, farked if I know. I'm actually re-evaluating my bike commuting with all these damn attacks in Pretoria at the moment ...

The only way that bike jacking is going to slow down is if some bike jackers gets shot to hell and gone. Then, in a few weeks, months, years, they will just escalate.

Possibly on a related note, was told last night by someone that he saw a beggar wearing a cycling pant at the C/O Lois and Garsfontein roads. Couldn't find him last night or this morning, but keep a lookout.

If you were closer we'd go picket his place as well, but like I said plenty pages back just say the word where to put the cash.

That are an exkellent qwestjun.

Sho tough one ... do you have your own insurance? Or some other means of getting legal opinion / representation on it?

Hey, quick, look! An event organizer that listens to rider's gripes! Well done once again, Tim, I'm sure we're going to enjoy it!

Scared of the graspolle?

No, you shouldn't. Good fr Goose, good for Gander and all that ... Hope these guys get their comeuppance.

That can work

You simply can't afford to miss the river trail, Greek church and possibly concrete strips

"Sticker bomb" it with all the quotes ....

“Some people feel the rain. Others just get wet.”

Mine. Cheaper you're not going to get.

Ha ha ha ... there's always some bits and bobs left over when you build an engine ... where they come from, where they should go, and why the engine never gives hassles without them we will never know.

MOst cycle shops should have Seen them at Cycle lab and Solomons.

I'm trying ahrd to think what I'd do if given that (or a similar) opportunity ... sho. I dunno if I'd actually like to be a pro rider, where you MUST ride your bike .... at what point will it become work?

Hey, it helps to put a difficult bead over a rim
