  1. Hey Stretch, the town store closed a few years ago.
  2. Also looks to registered in Panama
  3. That end cap has defiantly been sanded down. These are the originals. To my knowledge Roval have never had a hub with threaded end caps. So either it's not an original Roval hub or it's an old hub that is no designed to be TA compatible.
  4. You were spot on: Aviation: The Group owns and operates a fleet of aircraft for private and charter use, and employs an in-house crew of 10 people. The Aviation Department contracts services from Execujet for aircraft management and maintenance with oversight from Josie van Niekerk (Head of Aviation) and Dean Smith (Chief Pilot). The fleet consists of: Bombardier Challenger 850 – ZS-ZORBombardier Challenger 601 – ZS-SGCHawker Beechcraft Premier 1 – ZS-SRUAgusta 119 Koala – ZS-ZAMBell 430 – ZS-RTZ
  5. Defiantly should get my eyes checked. The missing winglets should have been a dead giveaway the it wasn't a Honda. Impressive sleuth work by the way.
  6. Yip, defiantly a Honda. I tried to find the tail number but to no avail.
  7. I flew out of King Shaka on Thursday night and as we arrived a Maybach was leaving so I took a little walk down the terminal and came across this. I could not make out the tail number but defiantly ZS-.....
  8. I'm also on Bonitas and have been extremely happy. I'm not one to visit the doctor regularly but when a proper job coming off the bike they pay out for all my emergency clavicle repairs of which there have been many.
  9. Baby sitting this little guy.
  10. Optical illusion as the center spoke goes to the oposit side of the hub as the two outer spokes. I'll second Morph and say originals.
  11. I found the flight levels a little odd, on the A380 we were at FL410 but on the 777-300er only FL360 I did check service ceiling and both are FL430. Any reason why the 777 would be flying so low?
  12. I'm sure I read about that somewhere. We felt nothing, but then it was also an amazing day over the alps and the sky looked like a chess board with all the contrails hanging around, so it could have been there for a few mins before we went through it.
  13. A few months ago on a A380 from DXB to CDG we flew slap bang through the contrails of another jet at 90° it was quite something to see vortex coming off the wing. We also had a little drag race with a private jet (I couldn't make out exactly what) but we lost.
  14. and a terrible job of it.
  15. Reports are that it was in fact the water tanks on the roof that broke and not the pool.
  16. 10 were brought into SA USN have 2/3 if memory serves and one is a Brabus version! I know someone who has been lucky enough to drive one of them.
  17. What climb was this? not many constant 900m climbs in SA. He must be a rather big boy or be crazy strong to avg 221w for 15 hours
  18. I would not go as far as to say only in the US. Not sure if you know him and his brothers background and how "learning disabled" they were. Almost anything is possible if you put in enough time and effort, the man's work ethic is crazy. He's the type of guy pulling +100hr work weeks and if you can sustain that with a little smart thinking you will almost always be successful.
  19. Ok I've broken 7 over the years. 5 being in the last 7 years 4 of which have been plated. So here's the list: Went down the back steps in a walking ring as a baby.Pushed down a bank at school paying silly buggers.Drop-off collapsed under me on take-off.Caught a rock hiding in the grass with a pedal, OTB and T-boned another rock with my shoulder.Pulled a cleat out in a sprint, big OTB.Dog ran into the road, got brake checked and front wheel taken out.Last week I T-Boned a Bushbuck 100m from my gate going down the hill (I have bad luck when it comes to these things). I'm back on the bike with no pain and have been off the med's since the 3rd day, as I find I do to much when on painkillers. Every break is different and there are positives and negatives for plating and letting it heal on its own. I have never broken a clavicle with the plate still in so cannot comment on that. I do have some discomfort when hiking with a large backpack but that is mainly to being a human bean pole with almost zero coverage.
  20. Get hold of Carbon Ninja in Durbs, he can lengthen it for you. PM me if you want his number.
  21. Sounds like you have a very cool Mom!
  22. There are more than 27 if some are open to interpretation.
  23. 100% and she has some mad skills on a MTB. She was hitting road gaps on a XC bike years ago!
