  3. ahhhh **** sorry bud, will keep a look out, Ironically the last ninner thread you started was for mine when it was stolen
  4. I had all my bikes insured, the insurance recommended to me cancel them all and increase my cover for theft of goods when I leave the house, and increase my household cover saved me horrible money, my cover would easily cover 2 bikes, garmins,cells and and
  5. EASY TIGER mine was in jest, put the scalpel away

  7. I call DIBS I bank with XYZ SO as you deal with A It will clear Tuesday can I collect so long
  8. AS SAID ABOVE THE the cost of containers/shipping has gone through the roof, I do also think we are our own worst enemies(saying that I just upgraded) last Year January I got my daughter her first "proper" bike, Einna I swear on everything dear,,, had I bought 2 brand new motorbikes and trailer and kit, I would have change compared to the costs of running2 high end bikes, esp with a teenager who grows when she sleeps, but we would not have had as much quality time,, I dont think anyway Had anyone told me when I started cycling as a weekend wannabee(still am) what my bikes would be worth in my garage today I would have said not over my dead body, I am not that stupid
  9. far to HUMBLE FOR A HUBBER,,,ITS THE HIGH NUMBERS YOU PUT DOWN
  10. AFTER MY TRIP to PE and the cape in december, most my mates ride with a throw away phones, thats my next plan Soooo much access on our smart phones, especially the banking if you forced to hit a few EFT it will hurt alot more than the bikes costs
  11. its sad but its true, It is not a case of IF its going to happen its simply a case of WHEN , I have made peace with that. All I hope the thugs give me 5 seconds to explain TAKE IT, I COULDNT CARE ITS INSURED, have a nice day this is how the AXS works,,keep safe have a nice day
  12. there is an Afrikaans saying " met genoeg geweld kan jy jou finger afbreek in jou eie hol "( spelling and something like that) SIMPLY CANT HIDE BRUTE POWER
  13. people may do it as very few feel anything for the law, it is in breach of your contract with the banks and they can repo the care or legally come at you but as I say TIA people feel 4kol for the law
  14. if it was per gram/km we talking Colombia finest export pricing here for a DNF
  15. so then the question of BUT HAVE YOU DONE THE EPIC YET?? changes,,,,, HAVE YOU DONE THE EPIC,,,,(not counting the soft covid version)??
  16. heal up, hope nothing serious or long term damage I`m sorry im a weekend idiot who just like to ride my bike, most days slow, some days fast BUT I REALLY ENJOY cycling, This does not sound like fun to me, yes I have a mater with 8 finishes and he is as tough as an old leather belt, not for me, I am more of a in it for the fun factor and some health
  17. ended up riding 1 joberg2c with Gerald, he was a solo entry but he rode a few days with us, what a legend and gentleman, loves his riding, obviously we knew who he was at no stage did he mention his involvement in the sport, it was all just chatting about the route and his love of cycling and the spirit he gave us hours of entertainment
  18. i WOULD approach the most visible security service in the area and go to the command station and say R10k/20k reward for the bikes, that will go out to everyone per radio and cell, and trust me they know where to look, they know who are the skelms they just cant do anything about it,,,,,,,but a R10/20k incentive changes that veeery fast
  19. I can`t give you the answers but I can point out from experience, No matter how "loud/reflective" you make the bike it does not stop thieves(my martini colored niner was stolen) and quickly spotted, they could not be bothered EVEN THOUGH IT STOOD OUT placing a tracker on a bike, unless you have a death wish or you got swat on speed dial, when that tracker lights up in the middle of shack town are you going to risk your life for a cheap run around, you could say you will wait for it to move,,,,ok you pull the dude over he says he bought it from XYZ FOR R1000 your word against his,,still you manage to magically pull a cop out your hat, are you going to go through all that abuse for A) profiling a "thief" as you did not see HIM steal the bike after all "he paid for it" lights are a must front and back, I use the white front red rear Usb charging ones, that flash, bang for your buck that makes you most visible where ever you want to shop, drive their one day walk around chat to the owners of different shops, most shops have rear "storage areas" I am sure one of them will not have an issue if you offer them a coke for parking fees nothing is safe T.I.A
  20. different strokes different folks, honestly as said above e-bikes is 1 of N WAYS cheaters will cheat, I use strava to track and compare my activities and guys I ride with, in my mind if I dont know you I couldnt care less if you pack 2" and you feel better about cheating yourself into a KOM you dont deserve,
  21. for the cheap cheap price of,,,,,,,,???
  22. comparative pics or we call bull
