Holy Cr@p, my little comment, made jest, has sparked some serious banter.
We have all committed the sin of riding too fast, where we shouldn't have.
And the dog walkers really should leash the hounds when they are on the trails.
I almost, it was really really close, rode over a Yorke, it would have just been a speed bump for me, but tragic for the Yorke...
Dam it...
I see an intervention coming, I love taking my kids there to feed the ducks, and I am not paying for that.
Next thing you know, Delta Park will be a pay to play.
Man I hate what we as a society are becoming.
BTW, I blame the watt watchers for the bad rap.
Wyatt - Please send me the invoice for the bike and related expenses. Dipsy - bank details for your deposit please. FrancoisC - There is a lovely little restaurant in Dunkeld called "DW11-13" - I am hoping you and the MRS will enjoy a lovely dinner on us with some nice wine pairings. please let me know what date and time suit you guys, i will sort the rest out.
This post...
is full of WIN!!
Another tough month.
The Spruit Fairy may possess just such a map.
As for the DHL line.... that there is a sad story. It was the best jump line the Spruit had, with some pretty decent size jumps). Sadly with an influx of vagrants, the line was no longer safe, and fell into disrepair. It's probably been about 2 years since anyone jumped there.
Were is/was that?
Any pictures of this notorious jump/bombhole? I'm intrigued.
Will shoot some pics, need a model, someone who doesn't need his good looks afterwards...
You just know everything that's seems to go on there...
Yes a little scary the first couple of time, just don't get over confident and it is a great ride.
It would appear that bomb hole has claimed a few victims of late.
Could well be.
Patches?
Hope all is OK.
I ride with my discovery card in my back pocket. I also have discovery membership details on my phone under 3 names. Medical aid, discovery and emergency. All with appropriate numbers to call and so forth...
No, I don't have a key lock, just swipe and search.
And, yes, everyone should do a first aid course, I have done lots, been certified first aider, life guard and fire fighter for 20 years, refresher every 3 years.
Shipping is going to kill.
We do it everyday, the weight isn't the problem, but the size...
Yeah, I wouldn't put an Evolution Series on a bike with this pedigree. Only Kashima models are really worth it, and at a huge premium. The Evo Float 29 on my previous bike was the worst fork I'd owned since the 90s.
Convince yourself to get a Pike. If you can't, get a Revelation, which is almost as good, or even an X-Fusion Trace or Sweep (both are really good as well).
Ok, previous question answered.
If you have to buy a fork then rather buy a Pike. The bike deserves it.
Why? Honest question.
Max - let me know what you need I have a set of Sora 8spd shifters and derailleurs lying around that you can have. PM me

Look, I feel like I shouldn't comment because I didn't donate anything..... But I feel this might be worth the moneys attention : https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/139845-i-want-to-help-a-14-year-old-looking-for-26er-mtb-please/
This is a good idea.
I like the fact that it was proposed unselfishly and that there is a goal.
However, there are lots of cases like this...
eg. there is a boy in my complex who has a bike that is falling apart. his dad is nowhere to be found, apparently buggered off when he was 2, he's 12 now. I am currently buying odds and ends to fix it... I could do with a new shifter and rear brake assembly.
Anywho.
DIPS - your call on the following.
My vote, if the claim is paid??
1, new peddles and seat for Carpet, and any sundries the Sheriff needs to fix it.
2. DIPS get his reward money back.
3. whatever is left goes to buying someone needy a new scooter.
I'm needy, I need a new Pyga one twenty650 frame... runnnnnnnnssssssssssssssssssssss
There has to be much CGI, or that is the most epic free riding I have seen.
More theft. Damn...
And another small print insurance company showing their colours...
Not a good day for them.
Another sad story...
Man this is just getting so out of control.
A small portage on the Freedom Trail by the name of Lehana's Pass
Thar is one seriously powerful photo...
You know it's good when you can't stop looking at it. Then zoom in and out and look around and stuff...
Please tell me you shot that in super high res?

Dear Hollard, we Hubbers (some more than others) have solved this problem you and you partner in crime have to created.
I understand that you are trying to save face, however you feeble attempt to rescue the situation is too late.
Unfortunately, for me personally, the damage is done.
I bid you good day and good luck.

Sjoe, well done for the calmness of the whole incident!! Must say that was scary!
I must say that these dash cams and now helmet cams are starting to interest me.
