thanks Fanie. will pm him. New bike needs Hub sticker. Have any left?

on this subject. anyone out there have the one that is attached to the back of the car with straps? My friend, proud owner of new racing bike, has managed to get hold of one of these, but.... no instructions.. its worse than a chinese puzzle this thing... anyone out there that can help, i.e. has an instruction manual we can copy somehow?

i know you are having a dig at me here BMW driver - I am very aware of what happens in the life of my teenager as I have an open relationship with him and I am also very aware that I perhaps dont know everything that happens all the time. However, I am perfectly entitled to get upset when reading what you posted - i don't think he (or my other two daughters who often sit next to me when I visit the hub) need to be exposed to more violence and utter disregard for other people- the world around us does that adequately!!

Great minds think alike!! Look forward to meeting you all. Will post some details closer to the time... Hey, I have just hijacked my own post...

EB Best she realises this at an early stage that way she won't spend money on unnecessary stuff like food, retirement, clothing, rent, education etc Ha ha she has been watching all my priorities change every since i got my baby.... obviously its contagiousl... anyway... Amashova here we come! 94.7 here we come Argus 2008 here we come and all the other ones in between! The Terrible Twins (sort of) have arrived! Now we must travel up North to come and meet some more hubbers!!

IanJ, EduardoBianchi, Scotty, Slowjoe, Slowpoke, Gumpole, Mampara and Gman1834 - THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU - for all the advise, phone numbers etc. etc. She took the plunge, scraped some more SA Rands together and her new baby arrives today - She went for the RC2000 - got a very good deal from another lbs that she just could not turn down. I dont know who is more excited, her or me! thanks again all of you, you are all GREAT!

She has not got buckets of cash to spend and has been searching for quality for money. please can one of you experts help and let us know if the bike on the above link is any good, i.e. value for money etc etc. Please bear in mind that this person is a complete novice . thanks in advance bobbie2007-05-29 06:14:24

Ya' date=' well, sure, I mean there if you try pee anywhere you may get arrested, and most of the year it's too cold to pee outside anyway... I guess you can still burp and fart there though? Oh, and scratch and so on... [/quote']

i just wish I was a boy sometimes....... It's over-rated' date=' though the peeing standing up thing is useful. [/quote'] That and burping and farting whenever you feel the need... Sure, and scratching, that can be ok too. and being able to write your name anywhere you feel like, the world is your latrine. see what i mean boys??????

i just wish I was a boy sometimes....... It's over-rated' date=' though the peeing standing up thing is useful. [/quote'] i think there are many many more perks than just that one.....

I contacted my bike "maker" direct and they were very very helpful' date=' they just got my city wrong and when i corrected them as to where i live, they recommended my super friendly bike shop where they laugh at my ignorance... so now i have to think of Plan B - i just wish I was a boy sometimes....... [/quote'] if it's still doing that when you come up for the 94.7 lets take it to my LBS, am taking my bike to them saterday, the service they gave me yesterday was so great i won't use anyone else again. you guys rock! thanks for the help (dont you all wanna move to KZN?)

I contacted the manufacturer direct and they were superb and very efficient contacting me. unfortunately for me they thought i lived in PMB and gave me details of lbs there. when i corrected them on where i lived, they gave me contact details of the very same bike shop where they treat me like an ignoramus (which I am but we all crawled before we walked)... so now I have to think of Plan B... but thanks for asking... sorry i dont know why i posted it twice, i thought i had "lost" my first reply - blond moment - sorrybobbie2007-05-24 09:44:39
