    why ride

    I use to MTB as it was a means of escape. It help me clear my mind. Sadly though, I found that as you get fitter, the distance to travel to get your mind clear grows somewhat. From my first 7km killer loop at Delvera, to my last 195km ride alongside PappaBeer. MTB is also a culture of like minded peeps. I enjoy the friendships that develop and grow from cycling. Fun between my legs...
  3. Have you looked at any of the Mongoose or Merida Bikes?

  5. I don't carry a weapon at all. I live in Albarton and ride the Allewynspoort road and staircase on a fairly regular basis. There are some well know cases of bike-jackings aorund the area and I have met a few guys who have stared down the barrel of 38's and 9 mils and lost some fancy bikes to the jackers. Last time I checked' date=' it was still a crime to deal in stolen goods so if you're offered some 20k bike for R200 and you buy it, you are considered just as guilty as the thief who took it in the first place. [/quote'] Ok, all things aside. Do not judge the Police in this action of proving ownership. Please answer me this, "How the hell do you prove ownership of your bike while you are riding????" Not to be sarcastic, but think logically before posting something really stupid.
  6. http://www.blackburndesign.com/lights.html#systemx8 Ek kan nie prentjies op laai nie.
  7. Sigma Karma - RRSP R2000-00; BB X8 SL - RRSP R2600-00; BB X4 - RRSP R1800-00; BB Voayger 4.0 - RRSP R450-00; This, ladies and gentleman, is an investment.
  8. Wel. OneTime - was using the BlackBurn X8SL light set. THis, as you saw, is a two LED light set. One spray light, and one spot light. THey work extremely nicely. I have an X4 light set, which is the same as the X8 but just has one LED light, the same as the spray light from the X8. The Sigma Light is a very small and powerfull light, and I think in situation's like last night it work beautifully. The last was the BlackBurn Voyager which is a small light which I first purchased in order to start my night riding. It is a nice light with three settings and works very well. It runs of four penlight batteries and will suffice most required area's. Anything else you would like to know?
  9. It sounds like you guys had fun. Onetime, I hope you enjoyed the lights. I further also hope that last night's ride has inspired a few hubbers to invest in a form of a light set. MTBing is awesome. MTBing at night is flippen unbelieveable!!!! I am so sorry that I was not able to join, I was stuck with my bum in bed. (Or rather flat on the floor infront of the telly playing GTA3 ) I am glad you guys had fun, and it was my pleasure to borrow you guys some lights!
  10. Ek is daar as daar n liggie is vir my JA Jy kan my X4 Lig leen! Dan het ek nog 'n Sigma Karma ook.
  11. Ek het drie spaar ligte wat genoeg saam sal werk. Een is vir Fanie. Dit los twee oor? [YES I HAVE FOUR LIGHT SETS]
  12. TNT1... You are tendering here. Rugby is one of our national sports. It is a sport that receives a tremendous amount of publicity, and also carries the "hope of a nation". It is a tradisional white player and supported sport. That is where the problem comes. They are a bunch of white okes. Now they want to take everything away from the sport, which makes it such a great sport and force equity in to it, change the emblem, if they have their way, change the name simply to suit them, and their reason will obviously be that it reminds them of the apartheid struggle. Correct me here if I am wrong, were we not banned from playing international rugby because of our sanctions??? If they change the emblem, I will demand that more white players be included in to the soccer team as I am offended that it reminds me of an early aprtheid struggle for power. People, this is sport. If you perform, and you are selected on that basis, you play and represent. Simple. The South African Rugby Team has grown in the last decade past apartheid into a force to be reckoned with. We are currently the world champs. Fine, we are not performing as we the nation want them too, but they are the champs. And guess what, we are known the ENTIRE FREAKING WORLD OVER as the SPRINGBOKS. Not the PROTEA'S. New Zealand - Kiwi's; Australia - Aussies; England - Roses; Franch - Hane; Wales - Lions; All these great nations have a name for there teams. I am actually really gatvol of this. Everything that my FOREFATHERS fought for, bleed and died for, is going up in smoke, being rename, demolsihed, moved simply because some people decided that it reminds them of an era in which the youth of today never lived. You can not change the past. By renaiming it you are plastering over it and I fear that will come back to haunt this country. Learn from the past, and build forward. This country is ruled in most by people who are there for themselves. my... erm... 50c's worth. Tromps2008-10-10 04:35:23
