someone's youtube channel about to get a load of new hits
They already had a big following before this.
I've never been a V-strom fan, but this new one looks pretty good:

Look at the above link at your own peril........
Over an hour later.... 
The way they seem to be a community helping each other out and doing all sorts of custom stuff on the fringes of what 'normal bikers' do reminds me a lot of when I was into rotary's. It's an appealing place to be!
I saw an early 90's NSR 250 come past me near Noordhoek yesterday. The smell of the 2T brought back so many happy memories and kept me going for ages.

There used to be an old dude who tried to race one at Killarney many moons back. Always thought it was a waste, but hey he had a good time. Think he paid in the region of R350k for it then, this was 2000 odd
Undoubtedly the same one I'm talking about.
There was one of those parked outside a shop in Bergvliet which I used to see every for a while morning on my way to school. IIRC it was only there while he was running it in, then it moved to the track.
I feel lucky to have seen so much of it since a lot of people don't even know it exists.
If you go onto the dedicated RD/LC forums they rip them apart.
Aside from the colour scheme there is zero tie in to the original 350.
Personally I really dislike them, colours dont even suit the contours of the modern bike.
I agree. Love the bike, just not in those old colours.
Unless you love an unrelenting drone all the time, stay away from CVT. 
So what now
I can't give it to the second guy cause what if this dude pitches or suddenly the card arrives
advice ?
The first guy had plenty of time to sort it out, and if he hasn't then he loses out. Made all the worse by not having any contact info for him. Move on.
Ok so the real story is similar but not SAAT. Kenya have a technician based here to do the turnarounds(and get us to assist with anything bigger but he releases their aircraft), he stays here for 7 days and then another guy fly's in and they rotate like that. They have 2 flights per day. The Friday morning flight comes in and the guy then leaves on that flight a few hours later. When the afternoon flight arrives it has the next technician on board. So on Friday their guy gets on board the morning flight to go home and shortly after takeoff the crew get told by their base station that for some or other reason the next dude never made it onto the afternoon flight into JNB.
Surely the guy on the plane couldn't have released it though, if he was on the plane? The "missing" guy needed to have done that. Or am I 'missing' something completely?
My husband works in Geita, says plenty of dirt roads and trails all over the area it is rainy season now so he says it is very pretty.. I know the company arranges a trip to Kili for the mtbers, I assume he will do that when it is arranged again...from what people tell him it is hard but really nice.
This is what I did - the GGM Kili trip.
Alternative opinion - that pic is at the bottom end of Chappies before the toll booth heading towards Noordhoek. At that point in the road its pretty flat and with a group you'll easily be able to ride at 35-40km/h anyway. The speed limit for everyone along there is 40km/h so a car wouldn't "legally" be able to pass anyway.
That's the seriously long way to Jhb
A lot more scenic though.

I love Scooby's 
The only thing which would put me off them is the thirsty motors. I used to drive a rotary and after that swore I'd never get a thirsty car again. But I do also keep getting drawn back to the Forester.

Could one do a setup where there's the front seats and then 1 rear passenger seat?
This is how I had a LWB transporter set up back in the day. It swallowed two MX bikes, big rolling tool box, gazebos, everything. Really easy to pop the seats in and out as well.
I'm seriously wanting a LWB Caddy now to do the same thing with bicycles. Keep everything inside so that its safe and you don't use any more fuel. Plus it'll also work for getting rid of garden waste.
you wont gain anything in Zwift so no point risking it...
But you'll look more pro when your wife walks past.

I would need 109 repeats to complete the Everest, which is quite scary as I have only ridden it 47 times ever according to strava.
Do you not have a hill which is a bit longer? 109 repeats will become mind numbingly boring! On my Everest ride I had to do 81 repeats and I was literally falling asleep going down near the end of it. You know every bump in the road plus you're tired and your mind just says 'nighty night time'. At one point I 'woke up' as I was riding into the gutter on the right hand side of the road. Could have ended badly, I got lucky.
I'd strongly advocate a longer hill with fewer repeats.
I have a BMC and I love it. Comfortable little rocket. The specs and components on that one though seem a little odd - not sure that they came out with those.
I saw David at about 19h30 going into the teeth of the SE'er - definitely not ideal conditions for everesting! When I was heading home at about 11 he was still going and looking good and the wind had died down significantly. Gave a hoot as I went past.
If I had know he was going to be riding I would have changed my plans and joined for a few laps.
I would stick to the merlin, that thing sounds sooooooo good.
The new modern V12 might sound just as good but be more efficient. That would be my choice.
...and that's where I stopped reading
So two cuts just for funsies and then punch a hole in the muscle and remove a chunk? And people willingly sign up for this?
Was it in the bike park?

Lesotho 2013....Roof of Africa recon. Glad I tested the waters first. Took me one morning to realize I was not talented enough. I have enormous respect to anyone that has or can finish a Gold Roof.
I was there in 2013. That was a wet and muddy year! Love Lesotho
