  1. Cos I forgot to turn the cam on!!! So I slowed down a bit. Best first half was when I was chasing Craig McCosh and Wayne (rides an ibis mojo hd3) - 2 riders FAR faster than me - and was staying with them. But I don't have proof of that.
  2. Nothing wrong with that. Used to carry my bike upside down, hang it from its front & back wheels and do all sorts of things to it. No issue re brakes and suspension, regardless of what some people will say. Re the brakes - just bleed them properly and avoid getting air in the system altogether.
  3. Dude that is not a 1400 It's an early sunny pickup. Same same but different and gtr-ified It's also longer than a 1400 1974 DATSUN SUNNY 1200 UTE Engine/Powertrain S14 SR20DET Motor ACT 6 Puck Clutch and Lightweight Flywheel All HPS Racing Pipe and Hoses Countered Forged Cranks Half Custom Aluminum Radiator Custom Intercooler Custom Top Mount Exhaust Manifold Forged H-beam Connecting Rods Forged Pistons Greddy Intake and Filter Greddy Intake Manifold Greddy Oil Pan Greddy Pulley Kit Nuke Performance Blow-off Valve Nuke Performance FPR S15 Turbo Titanium Valve Springs Tomei Procam Tomei Rocker Stopper Weld Coil Pack Cover http://www.autoconevents.com/what-the-truck-dominic-les-hakotora/
  4. You'll be very happy with that machine, Jimmy. Got exactly the same one and it's a pleasure to use.
  5. I used to do that too, but I have a problem with drops and I wanted to straighten that following corner as much as possible after Brenton got himself skewered on a branch when he slid wide.... Problem with drops will only be sorted by doing more of them.
  6. One of the runs down Paarl yesterday. Raydek in front
  7. The latter. Must admit it gave me a bit of courage on the way down, but when someone hands you an ice cold brewski on a day like today, you grab it and chug
  8. Paarl again, with the Tygerberg boys and girl. Damn, this bike just keeps getting better!!!
  9. Yeah, very good. Powertool Repairs is also highly regarded.
  10. Pretty much. Still remember visiting the extensive mangrove swamps up in Zululand, when they were still there, and the ones in the durban harbour. Man, that mud was fun!
  11. Also the CNC machine, directional stiffness and forward geometry
  12. Beautiful construction and I love teh idea behind it.
  13. From my perspective, it's a bit of a CYA situation. If it's a particularly time sensitive issue, I'll start with a phonecall to lay the groundwork and then follow up with an email to make it official. I like having records of communication. It also helps avoid confusion. IF you set things out properly. But for a quick thing which doesn't require much detail, or a hurry-up request - phonecall is king. Also for buying / selling stuff.
  14. aaaaaaaargh. That sucks. But couldn't have picked a better time for it, IMO.
  15. Cool, I believe you... There's also the point that KZN wet is not nearly the same as WC wet. KZN wet means muddy muddy mud, whereas we still have a semblance of stone / rock under the tyres. Very different conditions.
