  1. Why does the word Jealous spring to mind ???? Nothing to do with the cold , dark Highveld mornings and evenings .....

    I think AI is 100% at fault . We all saw how quick he caught JL ..... He saw it even better than we did . He should have realised he was WAY faster and just waited 4 corners and then bombed JL down the straight ... Unfortunately he is a "Maniac " and lived up to his reputation .....

    Ianonne is a big fat BOX ..... Rides like a clown all the time . Needs a race ban , not just a grid penalty . VR46 and MM were on it yesterday . Great race . RIP LS39
  4. Thanks LWB . Well done to you guys . Was very tough for us , but we loved it . Great atmosphere and AWESOME potjie afterwards . You racing tandems are machines .....
  5. LWB , will do . We on a CKT number 34 according to the email from yesterday . We sa social tandem so no specific kit .... will dress according to the weather . Good luck and enjoy .
  6. Leaving now to do our first Kremetart .... Mixed Tandem . Looking very forward to what everyone says is an awesome ride ....
  7. What is the legal standing on warranties when buying GREY ..... Surely , as long as it is a legitimate purchase (CRC) , the warranty needs to be covered by the local agent ? Shimano , Campag et al have a world wide brand to uphold , regardless of where you bought the product . Once again presuming it is a legit purchase from an authorized dealer !!
  8. Maybe they shou;ld have sent Reinhardt instead of Louise . Apparently it is a course suited to a sprinter . Reinhardt and Daryl can cause a surprise if it is a flatish circuit .
  9. Well done to Daryl and Louis ..... Hope Ashley and An-Li crack the nod too .

    Brad Binder is THE MAN . He has shown in the last 2 races how good his race craft is . He knows exactly where to be in the last couple of laps to ensure he has a chance to win .... and then he wins .....SWEEEEEET !! MotoGP was awesome . Agree with SK27 , lots of IF's and BUT's , but actually a great race . JL and MM showing that they are there to win .... VR46 was looking good until the Yam cried "ENOUGH" 29 and 25 caused their own problems off the start line , but 29 certainly could have run up front . However he may have succumbed to the excitement of being able to win at Mugello , and tossed the Duke into the sand . So I think a good result for him . Well done to Crashlow .... stayed on ...... ( Chop )
  12. DJR , just to re-iterate . I LOVE my Mavic wheels . I have 1 old set of Cosmic Carbon's , 1 Broken set ( my rant earlier in this forum ) and Cosmic Elite's . I will be contacting Gavin to see if he can resolve the problem of my broken wheel . Will do this once I get home so that I can give him the serial number . I am the eternal optomist , so hope he can help , then I will have 3 sets !!!!

    KTM have been speaking to one Brad Binder .... Not sure if it is for 2017 or 2018 .... Looking good for our boy .
  14. They are absolutely useless and uninterested in helping existing clients . I broke a Mavic Cosmoc Carbone rim . Sure it was an old rim (2008 ) . This happened 2 years ago . Took it to my LBS who said he would sort it out . Dragon sports at first said they didn't have a rim . LBS asked them to order one . A couple months later and still nothing . After about 6 months Dragon sports tells my LBS they have a rim , but it is part of another warranty claim and they need to sort it out on their system .... I have now given up and bought another set of wheels . POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE . Gives MAVIC , which I think is a great product , a bad name .

    I see Dani was fastest in first practice this morning . Maybe trying to up his resale value ???

    What about the new rumour .... Talks between Vinales and Yamaha have failed to come to fruition .... Dani to Yamaha as VR46's new team mate ??????

    Good luck to JLo on the Duke .... I think he can make it work . How about him and Stoner as team mates in 2017 ........

    I was fortunate enough to be there . Didn't see the actual crash , but saw him once he stood up ( wobbled ). Then saw him when he left the clinica Mobil... He looked shaken . The speed at the end of the straight in Mugello is UNBELIEVABLE . You gotta be there to experience it .... Awesome it was !!

    Lucio was spitting fire .... AGAIN !!! Crutchlow back to SBK ?? Opens up a Honda satelite ride for someone less crash prone .

    Looks like the pressure from MM is taking it's toll on the Yamaha boys !! Last week JL , this week VR46 !!! Even though it is VERY early in the season , looks like it is gonna be real hard to beat MM . My mate lives in the UK and says MCN has stated that they have verified info that JL has signed with Duke , and it will be announced at Jerez at the next race . If I was Yam , I would certainly throw the cheque book at Vinales . I would also keep Dovi at Duke as opposed to the Idiot ( sorry Maniac ) . Rins to Tech 3 would make sense to me . Honda don't seem to be grooming anyone to fill Dani's place , so maybe he will get a 1 year deal for 2017 . Can't see Honda looking at Alex Marques . Hopefully Honda throw the cheque book at Vinales , but no rumours about that at the moment .... This year is gonna be great !!

    Looks like MM adapted best ... He has matured a bit I think .... thanks in part to one VR46. MM keeps his mouth shut and rides .... Faster than everyone .... Looking forward to Austin JLo better watch those lights .... Well done to Brad Binder .... Future World Champ !!! let's hope so .
  22. What is the date today ?? Oh ya !!! APRIL FOOLS !!
  23. My tandem came with 23's . I changed to 25's .... what a difference . Will try 28's next .
  24. Time to go to Momentum Multiply . They seem to keep the goalposts in the same place for longer periods .
