    I have an old bike magazine with an article about it from back in the day, That is about it from what I recall. Suzuki GSXR with a few mods and guys waiting road side to refuel him along the way. Christmas day to avoid the traffic and police.

    I know the record for Durban CBD to Johannesburg CBD is under 3 hours on a motorbike. Christmas day 1988 by an absolute legend and yes that is over 190kmh

    I have an xterra 3500 that I might be tempted to part with. I used it for about 6 months before we moved to the farm. On the farm we are off grid and a 3hp motor kills our solar system so if I need to run at night I just go out and run around the farm. It has literally been used a few times since 2021 if that. It lives in the corner of my gym. It does work with zwift, I have done a few zwift runs and a run on another platform. It is not controlled by zwift so the gradient you have to set yourself and obviously the speed. I bought it right out of lockdown scared we might have another lockdown. I blew up a cheap treadmill in lockdown so it is a solid 3hp motor. Not sure what the value would be though hence I asked your budget

    there is a very special feeling finishing your first 100 miler. I still remember it like it was yesterday. Congrats and well done, you can now go enjoy a well earned rest over the festive season

    Nothing wrong with Torx, I am more a fan of T-handles than screw driver format, especially working on dirt bikes.

    I bought a few meters of thick clear vinyl and covered the outer part of tailgate. I do it anyway and refresh yearly. Helps with tool scratches, gumboot scuffs climbing in and out and things like that as well.

    I have the titan one. I always put a single strap on to hold the bike down. We live on a dirt road and it is always extra bouncing around. I am also nervous someone walks past and picks the bike up off the bakkie at a traffic light. Strap takes less than a minute to do.

    Hi Everyone I have a perfectly functional set of Avid Elixir brakes that is missing the mounting bracket for the one lever/master cylinder. I literally just need 1 bracket as per the pic below. New I can only get the matchmaker version as a pair, which cost the same as a basic full set of Shimano disc brakes. So does anyone have a single bracket lying around? Maybe someone who went to a matchmaker and has the original lying around? Happy to pay for it, just need to find someone who has one.

    the issue comes when all the other riding venues can double their price and still be seen as 'cheap in comparison' and we as riders then end up forking out above inflationary amounts because of 'industry trends' Remember then the most expensive bikes were 70k so most of us rode 10k bikes, 15 years later and you can easily drop over 250k on a top end bike so a 70k bike is seen as a well priced mid level bike... You see it in production animal sales... Bunch of guys club together and spend a million at auction on a cow that they already own through some way or another. Boom it goes through media and the next week at auction stud bulls are selling for 30-40% more...

    or is it a wire bracelet to scratch the headset area? This is a concern. We will all end up riding gravel, no one can charge for public dirt roads

    honestly those clay pigeon rates are also ridiculous...

    you know 947 ride joberg is coming up when all of a sudden all 4 wattbikes at virgin active are always busy. Middle of July they were barely touched.

    go watch Syd and Mackey on youtube for some good race coverage as an insider.

    doesn't stop the die hards riding/running where they want too. Like the N4 between PTA and Harties, plenty of segments that are usually fairly busy, between the blue freeway signs. I think the bigger deterrent is now the amount of informal settlement along that road more than the legal aspect
