FFS

I've been dealing with a minor knee niggle, but I've not been outside on the bike in 6 weeks, which is bloody ridiculous. Delmas road was scrapped after the 1st attack (which was on a friend of mine), but then there were other incidents on other PTA routes as well.

I'm pretty sure it's automated to a large extent with the cycling

The Smalblaar is such a special stream, I've only once before had the privilege.

Another one today

Ja so I made the mistake of leaving my house (which is on Lynnwood Road) at around 10am yesterday morning. Thank heavens I wasn't a participant because that must have been a terrifying experience. The marshals must have tried their best, but many of them were not up to the task/well briefed. I had one shout at me and furiously wave his flag because I was in the wrong lane, but he spent 10 seconds prior to his fit looking away from the traffic in the wrong direction - how the hell am I supposed to know which lane I'm supposed to be in if I want to turn and you're not even looking at the oncoming traffic.

This is nuts. My mate was the first one on the 5th of March, and then there's been another on Saturday and then this today. All the same MO.

Entered today, has anyone else received more info regarding registration/navigation yet?

Are we not allowed to say deck? Edit: Nope, that's not it.

Your pics aren't working again ????

Like Roddie said, Maverick was released from his contract. Contracts generally run 1 January to 31 December, which is why riders jumping ship aren't allowed to test bikes until the next year, which is not the case here. Aprilia also has a lot more concessions than the other manufacturers (including more testing days), so he can spend more time on the bike than anyone else. Plus, Aprilia needed someone to fill in for an injured Savadori, so it all worked out. Zarco leaving KTM was different I think, he was never actually released from his contract mid-season, just that he didn't have to ride for them any longer.

Wait what?? I used to use Complete (which left the market?) and then switched to Renu. What does your optometrist say?

https://www.cedars-sinai.org/blog/iv-vitamin-therapy.html It's the dumbest thing, honestly. Your body can only absorb x-amount of whatever vitamin/mineral per day in any event, the excess is excreted. That's why your pee turns orange if you drink too much Vitamin C. A balanced, healthy diet gives you all the vitamins and minerals you require. Anything else goes down the toilet.

If your car is still under warranty you should not go for a DIY option as to my best knowledge, it will void it immediately.

Have a look at this to see if there isn't something obvious that you're missing: https://forum.arduino.cc/t/nema-17-and-a4988-driver-motor-steps-back-for-no-reason/426621/9

In fairness a HR strap isn't a "fitness device", it's always been like that. Only certain watches and head unit bundles are applicable to the Device Booster.

Express toll-booths... 100% agreed. And you can get most of what you require second hand. The Thule website is extremely helpful in determining what length bar you need for your vehicle as well. I started off with a Honda Jazz with roof racks, then sold them on to a guy with a Polo with the correct foot packs. Got lucky with the Volvo as I knew someone who was selling theirs and picked it up for a song, but the bike carries got carried forward.

I've done a 4000km Pretoria - Cape Town - Plett - Pretoria trip. Multiple trips to Drakensberge (through big storms as well). Up north/east to and through Sabie, and I haven't had a single issue. Edit: Having said that, fuel economy really is an issue. There were stretches on the CT trip where the headwind was so bad it was just better to do 100 than to sit at 120 fighting the wind. Conversely, when you've got a tailwind it's brilliant.

In fairness, have you seen what a new Merc C180 costs? ????

I ask the same question when I roll past guys on brand new Dogmas.

I'm a roof rack user and love them, other than how it wrecks fuel economy. My car is relatively low as well, so loading is not an issue either. The biggest benefit for me personally is that I can use the roof racks for other purposes as well, like my weekly trips to the hardware store to buy big things I probably don't need.

Look, I didn't bother to stay tuned it for the not-race, but safety should always take priority. Risking a fatality for the sake of entertainment is not on. The problem with racers is that they will not go slower, they will go to, and over the limit, that's their job. The other issue is visibility - the wet tyres kick up so much spray that there is just no hope in hell. Remember Mugello's start-line pileup last year? Imagine that in the wet where you don't even see it coming. It sucks that there wasn't any racing, but racing for the sake of racing is also silly in conditions like those. Spa also needs to seriously look at what they're going to do with Eau Rouge. They need to try and push the barrier back and get a sand trap in there in my opinion, but who am I.

Has anyone else suddenly started receiving email notifications out of the blue?

Can't the same be said for power tools then? And CNC's? Everything has its place in my opinion.
