  1. Bacteria in the cows gut, afaik. So yes, the cow does produce b12
  2. Or,people could take care to ensure their vehicles fit instead of just hammering it There's a height gauge, and an alternative route to the same place.
  3. No, it's the back of a truck body, caught on THAT bridge
  4. Yeah, it really is a case of fit and see, unfortunately
  5. Broekie liners?
  6. At the earliest we'll see them in December. Likely after that.
  7. ????????????
  8. Depends on the caliper and the bike, tbh. I know that on my roadie nothing bigger than a 25c (maybe a small 28c) will fit the frame. So that may be your limiting factor. A 2.1 tyre is still pretty large for a roadie / gravel bike. Test before buy, essentially
  9. Aspens are a lightweight XC race tyre. Not strong at all, so the punctures are pretty easy to get.
  10. At first I was like "well, that's normal for a superbike" Until I saw it was a 250....
  11. If it doesn’t look right, they’ll not stay on until I go off road, or I’ll make some that do.
  12. Very nice, but I still want to be able to take it off road. That road bike fork wouldnt like that one bit, but it sure looks pretty!
  13. There will be Mudguards
  14. So, the bikes are in and we're on our way back to durban. The fully built bike is my mate's one, but the motor that comes with the other one is a brand new recon unit that's just been assembled by an excellent mech so I think I'm getting the better deal. The frame for mine is already chopped and has a shorter seat, so my rebuild path is kinda decided for me. So, the final pic is what I'll be going for, but with lights and indicators for road use. Can't wait.
  15. That's actually very true, thanks for listing those...
  16. I have an xbone S and it's okay. I still think I should have got a PS4 though. More exclusives.
  17. Nope. We just give you high fives and wonder if you have afew screws loose.
  18. You'll be competing against the likes of Adi, Mercer, Danie du Toit and a few more monsters that take the HT pounding, but it'll be fun. And that's the main point, right?
  19. You probably definitely heard and saw me.... Those lines were getting blown out properly. Race-day red mist.
  20. ???????????????? erm, no.
  21. I’d base my argument there on the us of the word driving instead of riding, otherwise I agree that viewed with a healthy squint and several glasses of whiskey, it may be read as such.
  22. They're actually not, if you read the amendment properly. Also, JP Smith has come out and said that they're definitely not. Bold bit is the text. Nowhere does it say lane splitting will be illegal. It DOES say that motos cannot ride 2 abreast in the same lane, and that 2 motos cannot simultaneously pass the same car. Which is logical. Cape Town - Motorcyclists are revved-up over a City traffic by-law amendment they say will outlaw lane sharing with cars or riding between cars (lane-splitting). Bikers have accused the City of trying to ban them from riding between motor vehicles and making motorcycles behave like cars. Bike dealership Bike Bros said there many changes were proposed, but the one of most concern to them is Section 49 (6) (a) of the Draft Traffic By-law that states that lane sharing by a motorcycle and another vehicle will no longer be permissible. “We believe that this section of the proposal is extremely ill-advised. Bear in mind that Cape Town is the most heavily congested city in the country. "Making motorcycles ride like a car in congested traffic situations makes no sense at all - it will just add to the problem.” The amended by-law states: “People, other than authorised officials in the performance of their duties, driving (sic) motorcycles on a public road, shall drive in single file except in the course of overtaking another motorcycle, and two or more persons driving motorcycles shall not overtake another vehicle at the same time: Provided that where a public road is divided into traffic lanes, each such lane shall, for the purposes of this paragraph, be regarded as a public road.” According to Bike Bros, this would be the death knell for many motorcycle dealers. “If the dealers start disappearing, what will happen to the already stressed motorcycle market? Motorcycles will end up as no more than toys for the wealthy few.” Vice-chairperson of Nomads Motorcycle Club Kevin Farrow said: “It is not possible for motorcyclists to ride behind a vehicle. We do plan on objecting to this.” Another Biker Club, Gifted Knight, also raised concerns. Club president Sidney Petersen said: “It will be more traffic on the road as motorcycles were never really part of traffic congestion. It will mean we have to travel by car as our motorcycles are not able to ride at 20km/h . They'll overheat and break down. The proposal is definitely ill-advised.” Petersen also raised concerns about the safety of motorcyclists. “It could be dangerous because bikers get rear-ended very easily.” Mayco member for safety and security JP Smith has dismissed the bikers' claims. “Whoever is suggesting that the new traffic by-law is attempting to ban motorcycles from riding between motor vehicles has not read it and is creating a false panic. “The section clearly shows that the provision in the by-law does not attempt to ban motorcycles from 'lane-splitting'. The provision in the by-law is an exact duplicate of what the national legislation says and the national legislation does not ban motorcycles from moving between vehicles when traffic is slow moving. "There is therefore no reason to submit objections. Anybody wanting to object is free to undertake the effort, but their objection would not be speaking to an actual provision in the by-law. This has been confirmed with the officials who drafted the by-law.”
  23. Pleeeeease can yo upload it in a quality better than potato?
