No Way in hell, Prepsol is causing your problem.............Been using it for years and years, to clean anything from MX Bikes, to bicycles, to mag wheels, even dirty MX kit, and never ever had an issue. The greenest area anywhere in my yard is the grass patch right where I wsh my MX bikes and bicycles etc, and thus see's a lot of Prepsol. If Prepsol is non caustic and non corrosive the Grass would die. And I wash and use probably a few litres of Prepsol a week. Have even washed dishes with it many times when we been away camping at race tracks etc over the years.

The 2M(pronounced Doish M(Dois is 2 in Portuguese)as you call it is from Mozambique, so transport cost here are not that heavy. The rest are overseas beers so shipping/transport costs are a lot more expensive. 2M is actually a very lekker beer. They have another one there called Manica, but thats a little stronger than the 2M.

More than likely ride off like that with the bike next to the car just until they around the corner then ,load it in the car or onto a waiting bakkie etc.

Anyone ever considered how tough and physically demanding Motocross is at a Professional level ? Riders like Ryan Villopoto, Ken Roczen, Ryan Dungey, Eli Tomac to name a few, would put most to shame in almost any form of fitness, including cycling. Trained by Aldon Baker, and Eli Tomac trained by his father, former World Champion mountain biker. These are some of the absolute fittest and gnarliest athletes in all professional sport without a doubt. Anyone want to challenge this, just google the worlds most physically demanding sports.

I was always told as a kid that you get what you give. Remember, the day will come where the wheel comes full circle and someone switches you............And thats surely got to hurt..............

Makes one wonder if you weren't being ripped a new 'Ring" in the first place.

In this kind of Commercial event you pay for everything. A rider has to pay R200 for a Re-seed, to be put into a group where he most probably should have been in the first place. What chance you think someone who wants to be on the Expo has of showcasing their products to about 30 000 or more people who go through there all weekend ? The Exhibitors pay big money to be at the Expo, which is also why we are all forced, like it or not to go through the Expo to get out. There is not really any other way out, without fighting a security guard or two if you try to slip out without going past the Expo.

Maybe the prick in the Discovery that passed you was the same dick who smacked into that lady by the tunnel............

I don't see why they need different starting and ending points. Quite simple really.............Keep left and use common sense and exercise caution. Not necessary to go flying through there unless its a race, in which case everybody is going in the same direction.

Unfortunately it wasn't a tractor coming instead of that poor lady. Teach the idiot a lesson having a head on with a tractor in a tunnel.......................

:thumbup: :thumbup: Agreed.........WTF do you need to go at speed there ? Not necessary and just plain friggin stupid. No tablets available for stupidity.

Sorry to be a pain but how do i get hold of the OFM guys ?

Eish, shees a beeg problem not being seeded. Time for a rethink..........

I am going to be in Bloem that Saturday with some mates, racing a Motocross event, and seeing as we all cyclists as well, would love to do the OFM classic on Sunday before we come home. Anybody know if they accept late entries or entries at number collection ?

Probably the best solution you are likely to find. Someone somewhere has seen bicycle's going in and out the squatter camp or knows where they being hidden. Just needs to be put out there that they stolen and whats been happening and that there is a reward, and i will bet on it the problem gets sorted out very quickly.
