Beaut. Old Bikers never die... <add your line here> Mine is "They only hit neutral more often."

I hope you mean they pulled him over.

The latest coffee and croissant outing. Followed by a stop on the coast road.

Thanks ICM. Not sure about my car. It's a 2005 Outback so emissions m ay be an issue but mechanically it's sound and in great condition but the inurance valuation is so bad it's mot worth my selling it. I may leave it here just in case I come back for a holiday or change my mind. Or if the "Moonshot Pact" takes off. Fat chance. Good news about the licence though. I will PM you and perhaps get to talkin on the phone although I use Signal instead of Whatsapp. Thanks again

Bugger. My landlord is selling so I need to move. Major upheaval so I am considering one option as leaving and going to the UK. I have a passport. So this is a question to Ice Cream Man and others who have made the move. Is it worth sending my GS over or would it be better to sell here and buy another?. And secondly, I have a UK driver's licence for a car but not bike. Can I swap my Saffer bike licence or do I need to go the whole rigmarole?

Haha you have my sympathy. It becomes almost obesssive after a while and if you don't attend to it, it gnaws away at you. I just waterpapered the scratches on my crash bars for the same reason. Not perfect but an improvement.

"good tunes". That made me laugh, thanks

I wear earplugs because my engine is just so damned noisy so no intercome for me. There's a thread about it on Wilddogs where there are some good things said about Cardo and then a poster mentions (and quotes the blurb) about the new Sena. Both quite pricy. https://wilddog.net.za/threads/how-to-choose-motorcycle-helmet-intercom.278090/#post-5046248

I think they were looking for the waterfront and ended up in the wrong bay.

And here's why I came here in the first place. An unusual sighting this afternoon up Chappies.

Sorry to hear that Hairy. Bikes can be expensive for sure and we just have to remind ourselves of the joy we get from them. Hope you get snorted soon and cheaply.

I think there's an adventurer in you somewhere

Early morning ride up signal hill to see the sunrise. Which never happened.😃. Still, good spot for coffee

Also out and about yesterday. Bewdeeful day despite being chilly. Theewaterskloof is overflowing! And went to our WC Ace Cafe equivalent.

Andymann, have you tried the Wilddog portal? I'm sure you'll sell it there and the guys seem to be trustworthy. https://wilddog.net.za/

Don't fool yourself.. It's not only KTM and us GS owners who hate Harleys.

Gee that's nasty. Where do you park that it could be exposed to someone doing that?. If Pirelli do indeed give you a new tyre that would be very classy of them. Hope they do.

Thanks guys

Thanks Thomo and Frosty. Do you know if they do non-polarised lenses?

Hairy, is it not possible that you just rode over something which cut the tyre? What makes you so sure that it was - in the weasel words of Alec Irwin - "human instrumentality"?

Afternoon all. I am looking to replace the lenses on my Oakleys and remember there was an old thread on Replacement copy Oakley lenses but I can't find it. I know about Revant but the thread mentioned some SA supplier, and I'm interested in finding who that was. Any ideas, anyone?

Just a reminder of the pleasures of biking. Yesterday up Chappies in great weather with coffee and a croissant.
