  1. My go to setup which never let me down even in pitch darkness. 1. 2000 lumen handlebar light with a good battery 2. 400 lumen light mounted to helmet 3. Garmin Radar mounted to seatpost 4. Bontrager flashing rear light Besides having a redundant light both sides for flat battery situations they all played very well together. Bright light on handlebar with a wide beam, really took all the effort out of seeing (please consider runners and pedestrians with bright lights as you will blind them) also found the bright light was a good security feature as you could see far more than a perp trying to see what he’s up against (my theory). The helmet light allows you to see where you looking, so looking at your Garmin, checking what gear you in, looking next to the road and most importantly, allowing you to see what you doing when performing road side repair (limping to a well lit petrol station is always a winner as well). Garmin radar probably the best device I’ve ever purchased, unbelievably accurate and perfectly integrated into head unit. Plan smart routes, keep them lower risk especially if riding alone. Get everything 100% ready the night before and enjoy!!
  2. I was forced to be a 4am rider many years back due to training for some stage races, working a hard job and being a full time father and husband. I hated it, struggled to get out of bed and did it out of pure necessity. One day, in the dead quiet of the darkness, just me, my thoughts and the sound of the tyres on the road everything changed. It’s now my favorite time to ride. I don’t need to ride early anymore but it’s become my happy place.
  3. Ok.....Completed my efiling on Friday (29th Nov). Was happy to be able to change security details at login to use email as my mobile is non existent after the move (note to anyone who might move overseas, you will underestimate how much it’s used for OTP’s, password recoveries etc, so plan well!) Woke up this morning and my refund is in my account!! So great work by SARS in my case, very happy.
  4. Exploring the desert with my eldest son while watching the sun rise. Doesn’t get much better than that!!
  5. Aaaa fek. I’m old. About time you lot show your respect and start calling me Oom.
  6. Josh, I can see a concerted effort being made by you to stimulated some real conversation on this topic of late. You have not disappeared or run away after some pretty good (and well deserved) abuse. The hub should be a place where everyone can share opinion and have some good banter. For sure, you leaped out the gate like headless chicken but of late you’ve had some good points / posts. Looking forward to your views and contributions going forward. But please.....don’t make be regret it ;-)
  7. There have been a few collaborations between Mclaren and Specialized. What the story is with the P1 here I am not sure.

    Risky move from Honda. 1 year contract. If things go wrong they could find themselves with neither in 2021. I don’t see how this is a good idea. The business of motorsport is not a family gathering.
  9. I’m going with dates. I can’t turn a corner here and not see those things.... Side note: I’ve grown to love eating them on rides. Pop a few in your jersey pocket, don’t choke on the pip and bam!!! Lekker energy source.
  10. @patch Medium Rare Cheddermelt steak for dinner you lucky bastard!!

    While I agree it was close, we don’t know how much Alex was “managing” the latter half of the championship. Taking nothing away from Brad, he’s done a super job and hopefully can carry a lot of motivation into the new class. I’m excited for the next few years.

    VR is crashing a LOT lately. So difficult watching him struggle. BB rear wheel steering that KTM like a boss yesterday!!

  15. Dubai Auto Show Today. Top notch!!
  16. Burgerfuel Dubai. Tried this, it was “ok” to be honest. Bud didn’t help that my son was smashing a double beef mushroom and cheese burger in front of me. But I’d try it again. Fries were first class [emoji1305]
  17. An orange Nova helmet. A classic in its own right!! Nice.
  18. My weed eater ran on Motul 800 for a few years. Always had premix available from my 300, man.....fresh cut lawn smell finished off with 2-smoke edges....Was like sex for your nostrils.
  19. That was WAY too much effort. Was much easier to drop a 80cc barrel on the thing and get rid of the tot glass piston. Of course it you couldn’t be fast, you needed to sound fast. Removing the baffel out the pipe dropped the panties even faster..
  20. Divorce her. Immediately!
  21. That’s it!! Too much nostalgia here right now. I’m off to sniff some Castrol TTX, burnt via a combustion chamber and ejected via a hand welded tuned musical instrument.
  22. Because they caused too many orgasm’s. https://youtu.be/5SoZiTxdQyw Just listen to it.
  23. He said that to you because the Josh broke his promise to you again.....
  24. For me, a Formula 1 car will ALWAYS be a V12, with huge slick tyres, manual gearbox, Rev Counter mounted so the redline is viewed at 12 ‘o clock, oil pressure light and draped in cigarette sponsorship. Or simple put, a coffin on wheels.
  25. That’s made me spit my milk out now and it’s gone on my bloody leather shoes! Stop it.
