    Taken out !!

    I have just been informed by the @#$#%& who hit me insurance company , that they wont be paying my claim as their client says " I swerved infront of his vehicle " I mean really do you think I would be sitting here right now if I had swerved infront of Landrover Freelander travelling at 75+ kmh , he hit me with his side mirror , knocking me clean off my bike , so I contact the #%&%#@ and he says you where riding in the road ! I say I ride a road bike where do you want me to ride it ??? Time to hand over to the pro's. Let their be justice !!!

  4. Yesterday while on a ride minding my own businessat 10:15am cycling from kyalami towards woodmead , having done 99km the f%#*en chop in a freelander wacks me on my right arm so hard the bike goes from under me , sideways , I go down on the tarmac Then I look down the road only to see a toyota speeding toward me , had to jump out the road Thankfully I only have some bad bruising and swelling on my right arm and a little bruise on my right ass (that is slightly padded) . Went for xrays etc all looks ok , dropped bike of at LBS to go over The chop stopped thank goodness and now the procedure of claiming for everything starts had to report the whole thing etc What are my rights etc ?

  10. To those mature enough to realize it is only my opinion and not cast in stone ..thank you To all the other clowns outhere......I just love knowing how wound up you all got over my opinion and thats all it is an opinion.......LMFAO
  11. The kid and his dad paid for the dinner , so whats the big deal of letting a kid have his photo taken with his hero ? I doubt he will sell it , not that type of kid. Well you all have valid points , this whole incident , im shure there are many more leaves me feeling rather angry
  12. Just heard from a friend who was at the Lance dinner the He would not let a 16 year old cyclist have a photo with him , I mean come on here is a lightie who has gone to meet his hero and cant even have a photo with him !! It was quite simple ...If you dont pay you dont get ! What a Prick !!! Lance is right ...Its not about the bike !!! Its about CASH ! Have a heart ......oh i forgot lance is not human
  13. Joined the "A" group yesterday for our , weekend ride to the cradle , all was great , managed to keep up with the guys , had to stop twice for a minor mechanical problem. With about 15km left of the ride a plastic bag got caught between my wheel and fork , luckly I was ok , had to stop for 30 seconds to take off the front wheel and remove the plastic. I am the first one to stop for a problem and offer assistance. Only 2 guys stopped to wait , all the other bastards just carried on riding , all came past me and saw what had happened and they wonder why the club is not growing. Most of these riders also take up the whole lane on rides, as well as there been very little discipline , typical. The wheel goes round guys , remember that !!!
  14. Wishing Bertus a full and speedy recovery. I was riding down club street yesteday morning , must have been just ahead of you guys , left with the 9th street guys. As for that ass.... in the bakkie , one day he will have his turn. The guy in the car BIG UP !!

  20. Sounds like an inside job!! In most cases complex living is more tatgeted for the simple reason of false security. Send the gaurd for a lie detector test !!!
