  1. Durbanville side. Langeberg rd close to wellington rd. There were some warnings from clubs around. This morning my planned ride changed due to weather and had to pass that section. I was over cautious and then noticed guys coming out and checking me out then attempted to make a move. Good thing I kinda prepared myself mentally... drove that section pretty slow. Then as they came close a gassed it and sped off. The one guy threw a glass bottle at me in an attempt to stop me. Glad it wasn't even close. In the end... I'm lucky to get out safely. I rode that section so many times back in the day but today was my last. Safe out there guys!
  2. The highlight of the race on Sunday was... having the "Terminator" on the podium.... and I hope that "He'll be back!" again lol

    Formula 1...

    Formula 1 had a crazy start.... - Geido... forcing a race seat - Mercs (although I'm a fan) at least a 1.5 sec gap in front per lap. - Mclaren Honda - #FAIL (can't say more than that) - RBR wants to quit because the Renault engine moved backwards? - Not sure what happened to Alonso... not sure when he'll be back? - Manor, couldn't put their car together in time for the race!!??@#@##$ - Drivers not allowed to change their helmet design? - I'm sure I missed out on many others lol It's become a circus as a result of changing the rules too often. cost cuts, engine changes, fuel, tyres, car weight etc.
  4. If it happens all the time.... go see a doc. If it's only for a few weeks now.... Strengthen your core and train more

  6. Going fast? It's not about how many days you rest but it's the direction and how fast the wind blows
  7. well done "Huez" That's a KOH by a mile!!! KOH = King of the Hub I think the hub should do a top ten monthly... then I'm sure some guys will start posting random things just to make it into the top 10 lol

    Looks like Mclaren is going with Button/Alonso... Its going to be funny if Button beats Alonso I don't think they're are that far off. Button needs a good car and set up though. I really hate Mclaren for putting fans through this but I still hope they have a car good enough to challenge for victories next year.
  10. He is a... Durbanville Area Roadie

  12. KUDOS to BC Cycles for giving the best service and always going the extra mile to see their clients leave with a smile One of the things that I like is that they show you what they doing exactly unlike most places where you hand your bike and and they give back a clean bike without any comments A gear shifting issue, buckled front wheel and bike fitting is only a few of the things BC Cycles did for me

    It's sad to see that Jenson is leaving F1 ... maybe Williams had to see this coming and then drop Massa instead? Let's just hope Mclaren can give Fernando a fast enough car next year. Will be good to see him fighting for the championship with Lewis again. back to this year.... 2 races to go.... gonna be an exciting ending!

  15. Thanks 'Dale... The Doctor said I could be out for 2 months but I hope for a miracle because I want to do die burger... will let you know how things goes
  16. PPA sent me a reply, explained everything and promised that things will get better in terms of logistics and medical services. I knew that this will happen and believe that those who experience accidents / breakdowns will have a much better experience than what most went through on Sunday. kudos to the PPA for taking these things seriously
  17. Thanks 'Dale... i can't wait to get back! I have sent them an email already. It's okay if they don't reply but I hope they take the message seriously and improve next time I know they can
  18. Yes.. All I wanted was for them to have a look at how bad my injuries are... maybe give me a pain tablet and cover the open wounds as the blood was running down everywhere. I didn't expect much but the fact that they only looked at me (before I really entered the room) and told me to go home. I didn't even get a chance to explain my accident or injuries. The place was empty as well so they weren't too busy.
  19. i was in an accident myself... bad one... but being asked a few seconds after your fall you don't realise how bad it is... if not for a broken bike i was going to try and continue I told the marshall that I would wait for the sweeping vehicle... he said it will arrive soon but only arrived after an hour! he disappeared after i told him this. Then at the medical room back at the start they didn't even examine me and told me to go home. I couldn't drive but had a friend to take me home. Found out today that I had a fractured elbow and badly hurt shoulder. A bit disappointed at how they handle accident cases... hopefully they learn from this.
  20. Are they still planning to send us our starting times?

    I'm a Merc fan but this has ended up being a bit of a boring season...in terms of fighting for the championship. Would have been nice if Ferrari, Bulls and Mclaren would be closer. I agree to what Crofty just said: Hamilton goes nearly seven tenths clear at the top. "That settles that then, let's all go home, this is one for Mercedes," jokes Crofty. The gap is a bit just too big this year. Was red bull ever this far ahead? probably... but then everyone complained too Apart from that the fight between Hamilton and Rosberg that's interesting... let's hope for some more wheel to wheel battles!! If Hamilton wins the next 3 with Ros 2nd... he will lead 31 points. Rosberg will still have a chance with 50 points up for grabs at the last race.
