  1. use the yield principle... if you can make it... go!
  2. I don't see that as being fair. It's not about being fair' date=' it's the LAW!!! [/quote'] 'tis so, I'm afraid. BUt it works!
  3. Correct... At a circle, the Yield rule applies. Therefore, if a car on your right has entered or is entering a circle, you must yield to him. However, if you have sufficient room & time to enter the circle in front of him, without endangering either party, you may do so. I say again - EXACTLY like a sliproad where the Yield principle is applied.
  4. AArgh! How's the bike? *cringe* hope your mate's okay - that stufff just shouldn't happen. But yeah, as you say... at least the guy stopped afterwards instead of doing what most people woulda done and told you to f*&king watch where you're going...
  5. at least they were easily "acsissable" for the rescue car... Har. Har. Har.
  6. Have to concur. Donkey has an active sense of humour and his classes are often based on current bike events; eg the DC, etc. And there's often a round-up of bike calendar events. And of course there is the music trivia which just keeps the interest level up. OK, that is probably enough sucking up, but if you are a cyclist looking to do some spinning and you are in Cape Town then Donkey's classes are probably for you. Agreed. His classes are awesome, and are conducted in a way that makes you WANT to work hard... Plus, he uses them for his own League training as well... so you know he's looking after your training as well. Definitely one of the best spinning instructors i've had a session with.
  7. exactly right there...it only affects those who had to "save" to buy things, not those who only need to travel one less time to the Comores in order to afford the bike... It's a very interesting dynamic... bottom line: if you could afford that high ticket bike before, you can afford it now. No problem. If you were saving to get towards that R8,000 Merida, chances are that you're feeling the pinch and have put it off for a while...
  8. Hmmm... generally personal preference, but tere is a lot of weight behind the more "accepted" brands, that have been there "forever". I think you'll get a lot more business from a word of mouth basis, and from people just trying things out for the first time, while having a look at value etc...
  9. no, it's them. Don't know who "them" are, but they're clearly having an effect on the postability (its a new word - i claim it) on the Hub
  10. Congrats - may you and your mud mucker pal have many joyous fly-in-the-teeth km's together.
  11. YOu say that now, dude... wait until 3 days in... You'll tune in, and zone out - just like all the other times...
  12. Yeah, a mate of mine shaves his arms... looks helluva funny when it grown back! So, what's the verdict? If you shave, get everything bar the kop? and if you don't - just trim?
  13. i grease my headset on a daily basis.... Don't know about you...
  14. is that doctor buddy of yours a cyclist? if not - his opinion in this area doesn't count...
  15. feels good - and i can attest to being easier to pick off the scab, and less pain on the crashing side of things... much less painful to scrape the scab off the leg (shaven) than the arm (non-shaven) Plus, it just feels good... colder in winter, but good...
  16. LOL! I get them too - but i just laugh at them trying to tell me all about the threat of disability and death and the consequences thereof. Yet they insist that, even though i AM working for a rather large life insurance & investment company, and have got ten times the amount of qualifications and exams that they do, that they know better than me and INSIST that i still need that R100,000 cover for R250 per month... HAHA!!! And if all else fails, i just tell them "no, Mr X is dead. I'm just using his phone"
  17. Tiesto: Adagio for Strings Infected Mushroom: kakachaw System of a Down: Jump (pogo pogo pogo) Linkin Park: Bleed it Out
  18. Brilliant word for CS... And a cr4p weekend for you, by the sounds of things... but glad things worked out in the end... Insurance? Warranty?
  19. you see he has his finger on the front brake... (or is that the rear?)
