Why would you want a new Merc? You can do way better for the same money.

Agree. The only way that I could afford what I have is using money saved from my time working in the USA before varsity. Just a pity I only started riding 2 years after that, otherwise I could've had some awesome stuff at great prices.

Took this at Potch dam on a cold morning at sunrise.

Good day all. Can anyone advise me on where to shop for photography equipment? Any decent online stores?

I bet that little electronic pod lasts no longer than 3 rides in the place where it is mounted

The funny thing is that Ratboy is having so much fun and Gee is working his @ss off to get where he is. Don't think Gee really likes anyone in life other than his brother and sister.

That is a dangerous store. When I worked in the states I went in there to browse and walked out 20 mins later and $600 poorer.

Have your kid stand out from the rest and buy him a Cannondale Flash. The Lefty is an amazing shock and it is an absolute dream to ride.

How these guys stay injury free with all of their antics is beyond me.

Put some lovely green slime in the tires and you are ready to roll. At that weight the frame should never break.

Why not make Bafana 40% white?

I have just finished reading Mark Boucher's book (a great read btw). He discusses quotas quite a bit and really makes sense in what he says. He mentions Justin Ontong who was fast tracked into the Proteas team as a push toward transformation. Everyone knew that he wasn't ready to play international cricket, but the decision was made at the 'top'. Bouch says that his tour to Aus (I think it was) put him back about 7 years as a player. His confidence was destroyed as a result of poor performances and as a person who was sure to be an international regular, only ever lived up to become a domestic average. This applies to all sport. How can a fat guy behind a desk who has never amounted to anything in the world of sport make decisions that can ruin a young players future, just to push his dreams and ideals on others. With this said I am all for transformation but it must be done right. Start with the youngsters and sure, place quotas on club and domestic levels. Why ruin the reputation of the country just to reach imaginary targets. As for Fikile, he said were are from Africa but it doesn't show in our teams? All of us are Africans. I was born and have lived my whole life on this continent.

As a Cannondale boy myself, I have started saving already.

Then fit moto style guards like the new Lefty has
