  1. I'd pay his fine for outing these cycling nimrods, he did us all a favour by "breaking the law"! A peanut by any other name remains a peanut!
  2. Once a schmuck, always a schmuck. Hypocrites always hold themselves to a lower standard than others. I'll bet his black lycra shorts are stained legal green by now.
  3. Racetec chips and profiles are issued in personal names. No chip, no PPA activities, no PPA times and thus no point to PPA membership.
  4. 1. The CLUB 2. The law 3. PPA MC2 must be seen to be taking the lead in disciplining their members in terms of their own code of conduct. Immediate suspension is justified, no further participation in club activities or use of club gear until all internal and external processes have concluded. The club cannot delay their own procedures by conveniently deferring to the law or the PPA.
  5. Based on the video taken, and irrespective of his mumbled comments, I'd say general driver rage against cyclists is perfectly justified. WE (you and I) need to change those perceptions and incidents like this only serve to make that so much more difficult than it already is. When the shoe is on the other foot we all clamour for the driver's head, so we have to apply the same standard to the cycling community.
  6. I have no idea what the MC2 membership was before this incident, but it will never be the same again. I doubt any members will dare to ride the Argoos in club gear. Even their FB page is down. It takes just a few bad apples to infect the entire basket.
  7. See below, your crystal ball isn't very reliable. Soopa news, EXACTLY what they deserve!
  8. EXACTLY my approach for this year's ride!
  9. That's like pulling a condom on.... the pleasure just isn't the same!
  10. A "real" mtb'er would never consider defacing their machine with slicks, and that nogal on a 29er too. If you pedal fast enough, those knobblies SING!
  11. Not as gungho (read "fit") as I was last year, so don't really care about the weather too much. Sunday I'm gonna take regular pitstops, water breaks and chat up the pretty girls. This year it's all about the enjoyment factor for me. Next year I'll ramp up the pace again.
  12. Learn to quit whilst you're ahead, you and your mates will never justify the thuggish behaviour illustrated on the video. If the video wasn't taken, you may have gotten away with it. Thank heavens for smartphones and social media.
  13. Dips, the hub environment got stooopid so I gave it a skip for a while. Don't think much has changed though . Beer tent for a catchup after the ride on Sunday? P.S: I'm deliriously happy that PPA kicked CSA butt. #justsaying
  14. Nothing short of a fatal hit'n run would excuse such thuggish mob mentality behaviour. Send them straight to the gallows, no disciplinary necessary.
  15. Get out of my head already, that's my EXACT race strategy for Sunday!
  16. Showoff!
  17. Lower case please, you've been warned
  18. Brogue

    How

    Arrrgh c'mon Slowbs, can we have some fun with the plonker before you ditch his account?
  19. Got your back mate, I'm gonna straight-arm every SC Highball and Giant Talon rider I see.... moer first, ask questions later! asked! Wait, what are the frame colours?
  20. My compass and sense of direction is working perfectly, thanks CK. I just opt not to battle against Mother Nature for ANY length of a funride, especially at near gale force speeds.
  21. Weather not looking great for Langebaan Saturday . I can deal with rain, in fact I welcome it, but I can't deal with 32km/h southerly winds
  22. I would go Scott over Merida any time of the day. Check this out as an alternative. https://www.bikehub.co.za/classifieds/68901-raleigh-militis-1-full-carbon-shimano-105-bike/. Super specced machine, lightweight and exceptionally well priced. (no it's not mine, nor do I know the owner )
  23. The Pro division, probably run by CSA as we know it today, will fold within 6 months. The Amateur division, probably run by PPA on an inclusive national scale, will continue to flourish. CSA and guavamunt will never agree to a division split, it's not in their respective interests to cut their face off to spite their nose (sic). For my money I stay away from all things CSA and SUPPORT PPA ALL THE WAY.
  24. Irrespective of his "qualifications", Bomber McBride remains a total douchebag!
  25. Bomber McBride's appointment confirmation is expected within 30 days, the IPID's investigation into Phiyega will take 90 days. Coincidence? I think not. We way as well consider 783's inept golden girl cleared of all charges.
