    MotoGP

    "In other news" Can you imagine... It would be epic, especially with the Ducati's performing like they are, and with 46 on top form too. Shou.
  2. There's no point in having a 'protest' there as there's nothing to loot... Side note - have you ever seen a mass action (strike) have its desired effect after short term action?
  3. I don't care for all the politics - I just want to ride.
  4. I'd like to give this a try, but then I walk into PnP and they have hot cross buns on display at the entrance and I get wobbly knees. I love carbs far too much to give them up. Long live carbs!!
  5. I still haven't checked my latest Lottery ticket... Hmmmmmm
  6. Dammit. No sneaky sneaky rides then...
  7. How many moolas? Spit it out!
  8. My cycling has taken a big knock since the fire. I've even lost the motivation to go out on the road bike. No cycling since the Argus... Feel lost without Tokai
  9. Like the forest... I see that there's rangers at all the entrances now all the time.
  10. Saw this the other day. My mind has still not recovered! From a 2.0?!!!!!!
  11. Ping Cpt Armpies! Come in Cpt!! Your soothing tones to the masses are needed.
  12. My old boss had a completely stripped and rebuilt 240Z with the RB26DET engine from a Skyline put in it. It was even meticulously sprayed underneath. I could lick it anywhere. And the speed! And sound! I just drooled a little bit at the memory... Pity I don't have any photo's of it completed, by here's some "in progress" pics: I'll always have a soft spot for a 240Z
  13. To be honest, I don't understand the blanket closure. I can see why Tokai is off limits for right now (not 6 - 24 months! But that's another point...) but I can't understand why the whole park is off limits. I usually cycle into Tokai from Ou Wapad, and was thinking that while Tokai is off limits I'll just go up Ou Wapad and around Noordhoek Peak - it's all jeep track so should be fine! But no - blanket ban. I truly don't understand this. Where is the danger in that? There's no damage to the environment, no chance of a rock or tree branch falling on my head and no burnt out underground roots to fall into. Why must everything be off limits? Besides, I think that seeing the desolation in the aftermath of the fire coupled with the new growth that I've already seen coming out is quite beautiful, and would really enjoy watching it develop. Some access must be allowable to non danger / eco sensitive routes. Who can we bribe?
  14. We were also going to cycle from Kommetjie side, but then decided that doing it on BMX's was more of a challenge
  15. I'm busy prepping a BMX for Sunday. Going to earn my beers at the end! The bike has a 9T rear sprocket!! I'll be in a Nedbank shirt on a red Mongoose - if you're on the sidelines and see me, pull me over for a drink Going for a lekka social ride
  16. Town, Sea Point, Kloof Nek, DeWaal Drive, M3 to end, back to Constantia and over Rhodes Drive. Could have at least made it scenic... What a waste.
  17. Like I said on the other thread, I'd rather it was cancelled outright than have such a short ride. I'll be waiting in my start chute for longer than this ride will take. Pathetic.
  18. I'd rather it was cancelled outright than have such a short ride.
  19. No, it's the press conference at 18:30. Decision should already be made by then. Maybe....
  20. Or they're just covering themselves... Just in case
  21. Plus potential rock slides on the passes, damaged roads (maybe) and ash blowing around.
  22. The Epic doesn't go around the peninsula...
