I see 4kol

Great news. Give them a bus ride I say.

Thanks for all the comments regarding actors for the upcoming movie. Last night after our customary few glasses of wine my wife and I discussed the roles in depth. Call me vain but I wanted the person playing me to be a look-a-like and so suggested Brad Pitt. My wife, bless her soul, thought this a wonderful idea but pointed out that if he accepts he will bring his whole entourage and kids with him. Next thing there will be a Brad Pitt MTB School for the disadvantaged and our local trails will be congested with newbies falling all over the singletrack. She suggested Dustin Hoffman instead. She's really clever, my wife, I would never have thought of that. I did get one over on her though without stirring the pot: the lady in the bakkie will be played by Michelle Pfeiffer. I've only ever seen her in one movie, Scarface (1982), and thought she was gorgeous. My wife asked if I'd seen a movie about witches in Eastwick or something. It didn't ring a bell. The bus driver will be Jody Scheckter 'cos boy, can he drive and he's got the right hair for the part. With a bit of shoe polish he will fit right in. The jumper just has to be Graham Norton. Who else would want to stick their bum in the air for all to see (besides George Michael of course). We can also paint him black if he desires. We can even put him in a red chair in the bus. One thing I didn't mention above is that after this incident I went home and gave my wife a hug and a kiss before continuing to the singletrack. I suggested to my wife that our young neighbour play this part, and that's when the fight started.....

If I see someone doing this I always think they must belong to the PPA. (PPA = PoePols Anonymous). Hello, I am ......... and I'm a poepol.

Only use squirt if you ride in the Table View area.

Were you recently in Cape Town?

And when she does he'll give her a mouthful.

They should advertise toothpaste.

Apparently one of the jumpers was found dead close to the above incident, I assume it was this jumper although it has not been confirmed. His injuries were far more severe than my economical description thereof. It's a really sad episode if one thinks about it. Opportunities to try out one's pepper spray in a non-confrontational situation are indeed rare.

Speak to Fikile Mbalula. He apparently also had a problem with burst rubber.

Damn ozzies!

Same here

Yes, but we have so much of samoosas and cane.

Try the D494 on the Hilton College Rd, 243m ascent in 2k's. Plus you can have some fun afterwards: My link

Naah, he's from one of those ridiculous countries that drive on the wrong side of the road, so he's being considerate and staying in the slow lane.

I don't know Till, but he appeared very cagey last night. Looked to me like he was hoping they weren't going to put questions to him that could embarrass him. CSA has no financial woes, that he told us.

That's why pillows were invented

Ja, the bugger lost one shoe too, so that explains it. Where was that GoPro when I needed it!

Was in Hilton Ave, just before Shell garage

Riding home on the road through Hilton last Saturday on my MTB after having done the D494 hill climb I heard a big vehicle coming up behind me. A bus passed me so closely that if a fly had been sitting on my elbow he would've been paste. But that wasn't the fun part...... this bus then starts overtaking a bakkie just ahead on a blind corner. But that wasn't the fun part........ a lady driving the opposite direction came face to face with the bus and had to swerve onto the verge and fortunately was OK and nowhere near me. Then came the fun part...... a body (I didn't know if it was a corpse or alive person at that stage) fell out of the bus window and hit the tar face first. I estimate the bus was going 75k's. I stopped to warn any vehicles and to check for signs of life. This almost corpse then staggered upright, trousers around its ankles, took a few steps and ploughed headfirst into the grassy bank, showing me a view I didn't really want to see. His face was ripped and I thought he was drunk as he kept standing up and then falling. Eventually he stayed mostly upright and then buggered off, with several bystanders trying to get him calmed down to wait for medical help. I left my details with the lady from the bakkie and headed out to some singletrack. She phoned me later to say the bus was full of convicts and they were trying to overpower the driver who was driving like hell to get to the police station. 6 or 7 jumpers had already left the bus. He apologised to all for his driving but said he had no choice. If I'd known the corpse was a criminal I would've tried out my pepper spray on his face and used the zip ties in my Camelbak. Pity I only found out afterwards. It was nearly my turn to be paste, really, really close.

The old logo was k@k, the new one says nothing to me about MTBing nor South Africa. It's just too bland for international exposure.

An extra shoe?

Road pedals on! Owner may be too embarrassed to come forward.

Little ****, I feel like klapping him.

Classic hubs are not for discs.
