  1. Is it just me or are those smiley faces ?
  2. Have entered. The SASOL air will give you more VOOOOMA (not)
  3. Here in Gauteng , there are some " Chine Shops " that specialize in electrical gadgets/equipment. You can buy LEDs over the counter. I am sure you also have some " China Malls " in CT. Try them. The stuff originates from China anyway.
  4. Game , Set and Match !!
  5. Your name says it all. Refer to my comment on post #18. And it is not even Friday yet ???
  6. 'Skies my Kroon ,maar dit wassie ekkie. Decades of motorcycle riding has taught me that applying the back brakes until it locks , is a sure way of ruining yourself and the bike , let alone the " trails "
  7. I also ride a motorbike ,but because of VERY effective ABS , I have never had the problem of the front wheel " washing away " .The same can not be said for the MTB.
  8. Why do they normally fit the larger diameter brake discs on the front wheel ? The rear brakes are used more often ( with my riding style anyway ).
  9. Arrived last week and not opened yet. Are you waiting for Christmas in June ? Ha ha
  10. I see the bike is also facing the wrong way and I posted it twice. Ah well , what do you expect on a Friday. Enjoy your rider over the weekend - mud and all
  11. My pride and passion , although it is about 5 years old. . I suppose it is not an Enduro by today's standards

  13. I have the same problem on my motorcycle ( on various motorcycles , for the past ? years ) . The problem mainly occurs when I get going from fuel stations. Sometimes I need to ride a complete circle to avoid turning to the right hand side .
  14. I hope I am talking to the right person : how is Emily doing ?
  15. All expert " inputs " assume that we are all " top 10 " riders , with the only variance being the wheel size. I have both a 26er ( 2 ) and a 29er. However, my main obstacle remains FITNESS , or the lack thereof .Wheel size , for me , is very academic and I assume the same for most weekend warriers.
  16. Oeps . It must be spelt/spelled " GAY "
  17. I did and guess what ? She introduced me to you, my mighty Engel Of Spelling Where you guy on the Marida ?
  18. No matter what your religious outlook might be , there has to be a Gardian Engel of Stupidity. Saw a guy on a Marida (? ) yesterday afternoon 4.30p.m. on the N1 heading west in peak traffic where 4 + 2 lanes flows into 4 , only to split again into 2 + 4 lanes. In short, the traffic is chaos and at speed. I panic every day on my motorcycle when I pass this section. The chap was fully kitted ( appart from a brain ) and did not seem to reaslise the situation. I doubt if he would read the article ( if he is still alive ) but i had to share it.
  19. It was not a sting. They only arrested him because he was riding without a helmet.
  20. What has happened to/with CWCycles. They used to be " in your face " on the Hub with specials. Was one of the reasons I clicked onto the Hub countless times a day . Maybe it was a free ride for adverts ? Sorry if this is an unpaid ad.
  21. My son and I went to Heia Safari yesterday, just to find out from Management that cycling was not allowed for the day as the place was reserved for the Jepp Warrior Event ( ?). After some " chit chat " with said Management , we were allowed on same parts of the property and we did not have to pay any fees. My real rant is about the Sterk Manne ( the Warriors ) that had no respect for the environment. As I got out of the car , I stepped into the sh*t packed in a disposable nappy. The Warrior parked next to me chucked a banana peel in no particular direction , as I tried to dislodge the cr*p from my shoe. A good stare from my was met with a " wat the F*k kyk jy " look . The guy was twice my size and I left it at that. On our return, we found the whole parking area littered with booze ( ? ) bottles and other junk. Not a good advert. for a Jeep sponsered event.
  22. I have a monthly debit order on my bank account as a donation to FORA ( Friends Of Rescued Animals ) This story has made me increase it by 50 % . I am posting this not to try and score some points , but maybe it will motivate other Hubbers to do the same.
  23. Many thanks all. As as sent the first post , I noticed CARBONRED's advert on the hub as well , and made contact with Richard. Very quick response from him.
  24. The company I work for has agreed to sponsor me with cycling kit ( tops ?). It will consist of 2 tops for 2 riders .The web sites of potential suppliers I tried are not user friendly. How do I go about it ?
  25. Waarna kyk hy ?? Weet ook. Ek weet net hy gaan sy G*t sien !
