  1. Yes. That's exactly what I'm saying.
  2. The amount of cyclists I see who clearly have no idea about the simplest little things like cornering with their inside foot down it's a surprise to me that this type of thing doesn't happen more often.
  3. The Opel had a unique safety feature. As soon as you stomped on the gas it would torque steer straight into the nearest hedge.
  4. HEY NOW! Easy on the Sierra fella. Those are a bit of a classic.
  5. Ok then it wasn't me. I ran (more sort of a shuffle/limp) yesterday
  6. Was I looking fit & athletic? Dude. A proper big well constructed fence. Moertoe. Chip packets and dogshit EVERYWHERE!!! If you go hiking and you enjoy nature surely you aren't the type of person who chucks his niknaks packet and coke bottle in the bush???? Sorry for the hijack.
  7. We walked from suikerbossie to orangekloof fence last week. apart from the 67 dog turds on the path (yes I counted) The fence is totally fubar. It's too much of a ballache to get a legal access so we'll just break the fence down so we can enjoy the nature. Namaste. People are Erseholes. Regarding the servitude question. The answer is in the name. It needs to remain accessible for servicing. It's not a free to access thing. If it is a servitude the owner can close it up but it has to be accessible via a gate so whatever infrastructure exits there can be serviced. I know this because I had a mini sub station on my previous property. Regarding the closing of that road. That's very surprising to me. I've been a resident of HB for a number of years and there have always been rumblings of Bay road being used as a 2nd access road to HB. That's pretty much the primary reason I didn't buy in bokkemans kloof.
  8. The city doesn't even fill potholes anymore mate.
  9. I don't normally punt something just because I have one so take this from whence it comes. For the front my other half and I both have a have a Giant Recon HL500. Super duper happy with it. It also clips to a gopro mount so in the winter time we run with them clipped to a gopro chesty. They cost around R500. A rand a lumen. I'm told a car headlight is about 750. I don't know how long it lasts but it's more than enough for our 80km round the point rides. I'd guess around 4 hours. The mount is so unobtrusive that they just live on the bikes. For the rear i have a cheap as chips Ryder. But don't be fooled it's bright as feck. My lady has the Giant TL100. It's neat coz you can get a clip that clips it directly to your chair. But then you can't run a saddlebag. I struggle to understand how someone can spend BIG THOUSANDS on a bike but then doesn't buy even a little Ryder rear light that weighs 10 grams for R150
  10. Your'e supposed to pay at the gate. I think it's like R10. Although they make no effort to control it.
  11. You can get a Merida Scultura 105 or that new aero titan with 105 for 30k from bikeaddict. I wouldn't bother looking at anything else.
  12. pft. Peasant! I bought a G Wagon and then had Brabus give it the once over. The normal Benz is so last season.
  13. Wow. Only 100k more expensive than a KTM 450 SX. Which produces, you know. 60+ BHP Has a hydraulic clutch electric start WP suspension Brembo brakes etc.

    Cam will outclass Bobby Fong. Last year he was running up front with the boys in the Superbike class on his stocker.

    OMG!! GENUIS!!! There's a crew of dudes I often see in HB that roll on MINT RD350's. My partner even knows the smell and the sound now.

    Designed by Pierre Tereblanche. (spelling) A South African. He also designed the Cagiva Mito which looks like a mini 916

    The 998.5 is what he called it He won on it at a rapidly drying Misano when it went in the other direction and it had that foreeeever opening left hander. Now it's a shitbox of a corner which is ever tightening. Horrible. Anyways he took a gamble and ran slicks instead of intermediates and as the track started to dry out just rode past everyone including Laconi who was Ducati's guy for the championship.

    During that time Gobert was balancing his time between Kawi and Coke

    I don't think it ever raced at WSBK. IIRC correctly the Alstare rider at the time, Frankie Chili described the bike as disgusting.
  21. Same! My vote goes to the Zipps.

    That guy is something else. I'm hoping he makes a return soon. The mice have had way too much play time while the cat has been away. A mate of mine has the latest (as well as the not so latest) MM replica Shoei. Yoh Yoh Yoh!
