    I'd LUUUURVE one of these. I like that it's small and light, but with just enough poke (probably). Cheap on fuel, and can go anywhere. I'd ride one from here to Canada. In any direction.

    Wait wait wait!!! I see my name on that list, but I've not heard anything from anyone about it? Is there someone else with my name? If I win a weekly spot prize, can I still win one of the main prizes?

    I had a KTM 690 in the UK and loved it. It had Maxxis intermediates on it and I used it right through the year. Plenty of power to lift the front whenever I wanted (which was all the time) and keep it there. And it was fast enough on the freeway that it starts to get hard to hang on, and you really feel the pressure on your chest. But that's not what it's all about - keep it in town and you'll have stacks of fun! I had a Kawa 636 at the same time, but that hardly got ridden as it was nowhere near as exciting to ride unless I went far above legal speeds. Not that the supermoto is any more legal in the way that I rode it, but it was at least slower speeds!

    The Hornet is a good bike, but a bit dull and characterless to ride. RE: the NC - the issues with power and weird gearing was fixed on the 'upgraded' model when they bumped it up to a 750. It's still a bit of an odd ball in that it makes its power much lower down in the rev range and it just makes more noise if you rev it out instead of actually going any faster. But once you get used to that and rather short shift, then its great. Fantastic commuter bike, and you can fit a helmet under the 'tank' too. I like it. The SV is a great option too, it just feels a little spartan when you climb on after being on other bikes. But that's made up for by the sound (if it's got a different pipe). And doubly made up for if you get the 1000 But for general commuting hooliganism you can't beat a supermoto http://pre02.deviantart.net/df39/th/pre/i/2011/083/9/3/ktm_690_smc_supermoto_2_by_coldf-d3cdh03.jpg

    Now stop talking on this thread. The fewer people that know about it, the better for me

    Number 3 is a lucky draw... But otherwise - read the rules! 5. What happens if a person wins more than one category?In the event of someone winning more than one category the prize will go to the next eligible competitor that is closest in either category measured by the percentage of the category winner's result within each category.

    It seems like all of your routes are being targeted! Time for you to find a new sport

    Watched the race last night - really good one. I'm so pissed off at Miller though. Taking a massive lunge like that was completely stupid, especially in those conditions! I'm surprised that Cal didn't give him a PK right there, because that's the best that he's been doing in a while. Could have really upset Lorenzo's day and the championship. Which would have made me happy... Do any of you guys watch the BT Sport feeds of the race and the pre race? The interviews with Rossi and Lorenzo were really very good.

    Mazda's are awesome cars! I miss mine...

    I have a slightly different problem. Found an item in the classifieds, contacted the seller, chatting backwards and forwards, agree on the price, shipping, etc and then I say send me the bank details and I'll pay and since then nothing but silence! What the hell?! AFAIK it's not been sold to anyone else?

    This ride is making it's way onto my list of 'must do' events. Looks like a fun challenge!

    Announcing this on a Friday? Sketchy...

    Is it a requirement that you have to be a hipster to take part?

    I've missed a lot! Essentially Deon needs a kick in the nuts for getting our hopes up, but other than that the prospects for the far away future look good I look forward the blisters and broken skin from carving out many new trails!

    2015 does count!! In years to come I will tell all who will listen that I got a sub 3 in the Argus riding a BMX. Woohoo!

    Fantastic...

    I've canned my PPA membership this year (it did nothing for me) so I guess I'm in the pool with all the other plebs this year. I was looking forward to the keyboard battle though... Am I the only one that thinks that R470 to go around the peninsula is a bit ridiculous? I enjoy going into the Nedbank tent after the race, but this is getting a bit ridiculous. R4.31 per kilometer...

    Yay! Hopefully I'll be able to shed my winter roundness soon....

    It's not my reasoning, it's the reason given by San Parks - more vegetation next to the roads (because that's where the fire department were able to keep the flames at bay) and therefore that's where the animals are seeking refuge. If people are allowed in then the animals will be frightened away into a potentially dangerous area. That did (slightly) make sense, but there's a lot of vegetation about now, so the reasoning is not as valid.
