The noise from the monorails will drive you insane. No doubt. Use them slicks.

Yeah, CRC isn't always cheaper. Did you try Merlin? Or Patches UltraSecretSuperdupersuperstoreThatTheVActuallyExposedLastYear?

Well, look at it like this - you paid an extra R 300 to have it NOW. That R 300 was worth 1 or 2 hours of your time, max. And you have the colour / model etc that you want, perhaps 3 weeks before you could have received it from the local agents.

ROFL. Slowpoke, you liking that post of mine put my mind in bad places when looked at in context of the post. Charlize Theron, nipple tightening and slow pokes. ROFL.

Schweet! And when they do come out, try the international retailers first. For obvious reasons...

Nope. Just his normal, non refundable deposit that must be paid each and every time you book a session, or change a date on the session. Think of it as the opportunity cost of closing the spot off for the OP, and him not pitching up. JB could have filled the spot with someone else, and therefore loses money each time someone postpones. EDIT: Or is that who he practices nipple tightening on?

Awesome. Sooo glad you went for the Reba and not the SID. SO much better value, and IMHO better performance. BTW - heavily jealous! And remember - it needs a Dropper Post!

the Lapa's on fire...

Just what I was about to say. 3 different dates. That's R 1,650 in administration fees. If anything, you still owe him R 550 for one of the dates that you rescheduled to.

Nah. Doesn't give us a chance to assume, flame and deviate substantially from the salient points!

Rofl. Far more rewarding than against a tree...

Awwww! Ag, dis nou snaaks!

The thing you fail to grasp here, Lapa, is that YOU cancelled. Before this, it was all postponements and accommodations. You actually requested a full cancellation of the course, as well as a refund of the fees paid. THAT'S why he can keep the deposit. Because YOU cancelled. He was more than happy to reschedule (again) in order to keep you on a course.

Seems to me that you have a thing about closets... :-)

If he has an original mini, it is! 35l tank ftw.

One of the few times I agree with you, Nishiki!

+1 on the v brakes. One cannot misunderestimate the importance of braking quality. And yes, the "Bush-ism" was deliberate!

Dude, it's a payment for services rendered or course material. You have your R 2k3, so let it go. Deposit is non-refundable.

Rofl. No, I'm a pie lover. And tbh, I've disagreed with him on a number of occasions, but still respect his knowledge and how he imparts "wisdom" to noobies...

Will probably be one of his classic one worders! "No"

And the thing is, by the OP's admission JB didn't actually cancel, just requested s postponement due to health. It's the OP who has cancelled the course itself.

I get ya dude, but JB did try to accommodate again. Notice the OP requested postponement a number of times, but as soon as JB requested postponement it becomes a hassle for the OP and he cancels.

I think it's more of a case of having a leg to stand on if you're going to lambaste a fellow hubber like this. Not that we "like to defend them" but more that they are respected, so you'd better have a damn good reason for ranting like that.

Nope, you have cancelled. Quite clearly. You said it a number of times, in fact. He tried to accommodate you, AGAIN. suck it up and move on.

Btw: the fork is good. Don't be put off by that. It's just that you can get better... Just not at the same price point!
