that is priced high even for international standards - and these days old cars are worth more original or restored to original. This looks a good job but your market on this one is Aus or UK and at 50 000 pounds excluding shipping, that's a big ask
But I'm sure in Cape Town someone has the cash to have a beautiful car that goes 80km and competes with a Landy on the oil consumption and spillage
I wouldn't mind owning it
My first car at 16 was a split window Fleetline Kombi. Paid R800 and sold it for 4k a few years later as it was rusted through under my feet. There is a two tone green and white one at a dealership in the Vale going for 750K. Damn I would love one again, but ou's are smoking some weird k&k at those prices for something that is slow, uncomfortable, thirsty and unreliable. Did I say that they were slow? My favourite is red and white two tone.

yup....I'm turning my 82 DT125LC into an 82 YZ125LC replica.....
Awesome Andy. I can smell the two stroke from here.
Aaah as Deil says, the mysterious power of the Red ambulance...

A Yamaha man. Respect!
Grew up with a MR50 and DT175's, six of us had DT's in high school. We had fork extenders,shock extenders and Acerbis mudguards on so they looked proper Motocross. Some okes even had RM tailpipes and Supertrapps. Nothing like the smell of R40 in the morning. We were proper ek se'.
We had a kleilat gat less than 1km from our house. It was only a stream but it had this dense white klei that was particularly accurate. Great for our neighborhood battles. Not so much for the surrounding houses. Think even Fands made a few appearances.
We used to gooi at the passing trains on their way to Kempton from Pretoria, until the railway police came calling in the veld one day. Usain Bolt? Bliksem we ran and got away.
Oh I know, some of those Yamaha's he talks about, are of good vintage.

You were brought up well to call it maths, Son...
Yep, in the pre covid days, there was lots of marble playing in primary school. My boys tried to explain the value of different ones to me but I kept forgetting. At primary school I played conkers but don't think that was played in SA?
Conkers? Definitely. We used to soak the acorns in vinegar and bake them hard. Blue knuckles...
When I shop for a new bike it’s the first thing I look at on the tech spec page

Pressfit, son of Satan...
Put 3 items on the classifieds this afternoon and went and cooked supper - logged back on, a million replies and all sold. I forgot to put on my phone number thankfully.
I sold expensive items for fair money and they were snapped up. Will list some more tomorrow
I'm in suspenders and my trigger finger is ready...
Damn, sorry to hear.
He still looks a lot better winning on a Cannondale..

Why not 1x10, as long as the rd has a clutch and you have a narrow wide chainring up front?
Ballistic Bike Armour. Look them up on FB. Nic recently did decals for my fork, wheels and frame. Top notch.
well the only reason he to tap Britney Is because I didn't want to. i was a DNS... She just doesn't do it for me hey. waaayaa to much plastic in that bird
What about "My Blake incarcerated?" we could go on all day...
Pitching and starting on the day, is key. He did.
both - the okes were golden
Cool. So the chainstay failure was not covered by warranty, or had the warranty expired? Asking for a friend.
As in the selection of the track, or the artist?
Let's just say that your Vietnam selection was great...
Full disclosure - I am a pyga owner, and have dealt with Pat and the guys many times over the years. I have no other connection to the team of guys or the company, other than being a big fan of their homegrown success and awesome products while others in SA moan and whine
on tuesday of this very week i discovered a crack on my 4yr old Pyga Stage chainstay and send a pic to hilton at pyga to see if it was serious. within less than 48 hours i have in my hands a replacement chainstay (couriered from PMB) at a deep discount and the bike will be rideable tomorrow, less than 3 days later. this is one of my many unbelievable service experiences i have had with the pyga guys
Now, it seems your unhappiness stems from not being able to visit the factory, and according to you, being denied an opportunity to ride a bike.
I have to say that your story sounds incredible, given that the guys go out of their way to respond to customers. the long list of positive comments above back this up. I think a right of response by pyga is warranted, and maybe from the very person you claim to have spoken with.
For my 2-cents worth, I find this difficult to believe. But lets just for argument sake accept your story for the moment - ok, the guys said there is no bike for you to test ride. does this justify a topic heading " "PYGA ARROGANCE/BAD SERVICE"? This drips with cancel culture viciousness designed to cause maximum reputational damage out of the most innocuous event, and is disgusting. Arrogance? Look it up, but then maybe the irony is lost here.
You also claim they told you the mobu is "nowhere close to being released". On this I WILL call you out and challenge this as being a complete lie. Maybe you felt the need to embellish on the fact that the production has been delayed into october, but I have kept close tabs on the mobu, as I have paid for a mobu frame and have been kept up to date on the progress. So what motivated this comment - to hurt a SA homegrown success story some more?
Not really sure what motivated you to attack a great SA brand for no reason - maybe it feels good breaking others down, but I know they will continue to move from success to success. Can any of us say the same?
So did you have to pay a discounted price for a part that failed, or was the courier fee discounted?
