  12. This comes from Burger newspaper. Apparently he slipped around a corner, knock his head on a rock and broke his neck Nuus Fietsongeluk eis oudsakejoernalis Curt von Keyserlingk (67) ROZANNE ELS 02/02/2009 11:15:15 PM - (SA) Kaapstad. - ?n Joernalis met ?besonderse insig en kennis? is Saterdag dood nadat hy van sy fiets afgeval het. Curt von Keyserlingk (67) het volgens sy jare lange vriend mnr. Tim Shoobridge die middag in die Tulbagh-omgewing, waar hy in 2007 afgetree het, met sy bergfiets gery. Hy het glo sy balans om ?n draai verloor, sy kop teen ?n klip gestamp en sy nek gebreek. ?Hy was ?n fantastiese man. Ons is verpletter,? het Shoobridge ges?. Von Keyserlingk was oudredakteur van Sake-Rapport en was alombekend in mediakringe. Hy het langer as 15 jaar vir Media24 gewerk, onder meer as assistent-redakteur van Finansies en Tegniek, en as sakejoernalis by Beeld. Hy was ook ?n assistent-redakteur van die Financial Mail, wat deel is van die Independent-groep. Dawid van Rooyen, redakteur van Sake-Rapport,het ges? ofskoon hulle altyd ?n paar taalfoute van di? ?Ingelsman? moes regmaak, was sy insig en kennis besonders en het hy nie maklik laat los as hy sy tande in ?n storie ingekry het nie. ?Hy was ?n merkwaardige joernalis.? Mnr. Salie de Swardt, destydse redakteur van Finansies en Tegnieken nou ?n direkteur van Media24, het ges? hy was andersdenkend. ?Hy was ?n Engelse ?Nataller wat bereid was om ongewoon te dink en vir ?n Afrikaanse publikasie te werk.? Volgens De Swardt was hy ?n sportiewe mens met ?n onblusbare lus vir die lewe. Von Keyserlingk het ook bekendheid as ondersoekende joernalis verwerf en talle joernalistieke pryse verower. Mnr. Rex Wickins, ook ?n jare lange vriend, het ges?hoewel Von Keyserlingk 70 genader het, het hy meer soos ?n 20-jarige gelewe. ?Hy was besig om te doen wat hy geniet het toe hy dood is.? Hy word oorleef deur ?n dogter, Karen (42), en seun, Curt (20).Konaman2009-02-04 13:08:32
  13. Comments taken from Brandon's website Hi GuysWell there has been lots of talk in the media about the story between me a Kevin. I am not for one second saying that I was right or proud of it but the thing is both us were wrong and the fight should have stayed out on the course. If you walk into a pub and push someone and they turn around and knock you out who is wrong? But mail me your feelings? Posted by brandon on 2009.01.26
  14. Rasmussen loses appeal 2009-01-22 19:57 < ="text/" ="" ="http://www.s24.co.za/s/Controls/Article/ArticleGreys.js?v=0"> Email | Print http://cdn.24.com/files/Cms/General/d/78/4bc68ecd07994e9787eefbbcf522236b.gif Michael Rasmussen Switzerland - Danish cyclist Michael Rasmussen has lost his appeal against a two-year ban for avoiding drug tests. The Court of Arbitration for Sport on Thursday upheld a decision by the Monaco Cycling Federation last June to suspend the 34-year-old rider's racing license. Rasmussen is banned until July 25 and cannot race in this year's Tour de France, which begins July 4. The ban started the day the Rabobank team removed Rasmussen from the 2007 Tour when he was leading the overall race. The team said Rasmussen lied about his whereabouts when he missed pre-race doping tests. Rasmussen acknowledged he lied when telling cycling's governing body, the UCI, he had been in Mexico. Rasmussen said his team knew he was actually in Italy and France.
  15. I feel that they should be banned for life from any competitive cycling and thats it! Then you know what will happen to you if you want to go illegal.
  16. Its happened once or twice that my soft tail links start to squeek. just spray a little bit of WD40 where its noisy. Works very well.
  17. The common flu and diet medicines you get,contain pseudo-ephedrine or nor-epinephrine usually in combination with an anti-histamine or paracetamol or codein to make in an over the counter schedule 2 medicine at pharmacies. Ephedrine is usually available as a powder but it is schedule 6 now and not available without a prescription. I phoned the drug free people last yr about these combinations of pseudo-ephedrine in flu tabs and they were not fussed about it. I have a feeling that you have to take pure ephedrine to get high levels in your blood. Will confirm this with drug-free organisation on Monday. I would like to know what product Eben took.
  18. What is the substance called that you took?
  19. This reminded me of a real story about 18-20 yrs ago when I was still in the army. I was working at Voortrekkerhoogte and 1 Military hospital at the time,doing night shift as a medic. At about 11pm that evening, a chap came into the casualty with his girlfriend, had a towel around his waist, and insisted to speak to a male doctor on duty. We called the doc and afterwards we found out this poor guy had a "powerfailure on the job". Apparently a vein burst in his "tool" and it was swolen up like a tennis ball. He required micro-surgery afterwards to have it fixed.
  20. This is not just your normal bikeshop around the corner. Its probably the most well known shop in SA. AM did an excellent job in building it up. Good luck to him if he can make something out of it. Konaman2009-01-16 05:15:54
  21. Mr Cyclelab, are you out there? cant you perhaps tell us what is the truth?
  22. I had a Santa C superlight for about 2 years. Was a great bike but a bit sluggish up the hills. My Kona i have now, is much more efficient and has farr less bobbing
  23. Nou skinder ons net soos ou vrouens op 'n klein dorpie.
  24. What about Supercycling then?
