  1. i think urgent repairs should cost you more money than normal repairs,but customer service should be free.if however there was no one to help the customer right there and then no amount of money should change that.good manners however does not cost a cent.my grandmother always said you are alowed to say no,but always say no thank you.

    WEBIKE

    i was in webike 3 weeks ago.after walking around for about 15 min in the shop i walked out as no one even bothered to ask me if they can help/do i need something/am i lost/howzit or even p....s off out of my shop.i for one would not miss them.
  3. count me out , but for those with deeper pockets enjoy the ride.
  4. jip the silence of the lambs is the reason.
  5. was ertjies bezuidenhoudt dan nie eers pere bezuidenhoudt nie?
  6. welcome i will not see you at kleinjoostenbergvlakte race as i will be at contermanskloof with the lake jump coming up.any chance to see you do the lake jump on sunday? enjoy your new ride and safe cycling.
  7. as for gary moore i guess that's why they call it the blues.busy listening to taximan from e void though
  8. cape town wind makes me depressed.
  9. my motto is like when you put a helmet on you become invisible.amper soos die man van intersek baie jare gelede met sy horlosie.
  10. is this from the dvd where the dude playing the tjello has black nails?
  11. are you only timing coming down what about up? only asking as i can only see the forrest and the uphill and the road going up to the beacon from my office.I am supposed to work but difficult when following downhill from my office window.No crashes as yet as i did not see any ambulances or dirtclouds over majik as yet this afternoon just looming dark clouds.Will see if i can give it a go this afternoon when all the people are walking with their dogs and children up the downhill part.enjoy
  12. looking forward to this.any idea of how to view the race?would love to see conrad kick some more ass.
  13. my bs meter is running deep in the red revvs.
  14. marmite and apricot jam.
  15. i take it we are talking about used items?shoes would still be sort of ok but definitely not helmet or bib or sweatband/halo/gutter/buff etc.
  16. if you cannot fix it with a hammer it must be an electrical problem
  17. ek hoop jy kry jou pomp.I once borrowed a fellow rider my pump(old hardly working) and got it back after the race.I then again borrowed a fellow rider a pump(more fancy one) during a race and never got it back.I now stick around until i have my pump before i continue on my ride back alt i will give you a bomb.Not cool to borrow and not give back.
  18. with my son who also became a member of tygerberg mtb club yesterday.anywhere for the whole weekend as the wife has gone to visit the mom in law.
  19. ok plan B is to have buy the most expensive bike and just keep enough money out to get a few friends over and have a bike wetting party with some beers.
  20. always good to hear stories like this amidst the doom and gloom
  21. depends on how much.shares are quite low at the moment so if you buy good shares and leave them for a few years you might be able to buy your bike from the dividends and if you have to pay in to sars you can always sell the shares on short notice.my last 2 bikes are curtesy of my friend Mr Rupert.
  22. yippeeeeeeeee i am one of the winners.this is only the second time in my life of 40plus years i have won a comp.i cannot even pick 1 number in the lotto never mind all the little bastards.my wife always says i should buy lotto and then she will pick all the other numbers which i have not picked.i one won a small case of coke in 1973 but me dad took it from me and said it will make my teeth go bad.funny enough it did nothing to his teeth when he put brandy in it.anyway i am very happy and looking forward to receiving my eyewear. :clap: :clap:
  23. wow not the hostility i was looking forward to read on my morning visit tot the forum, but then again nothing new.I ride my mtb because i do not have a road bike,I live and work withing 500m of majikforrest so within 2 min of leaving either my house or office i am on singletrack.I do not shave my legs because on my previous attempt it ended up looking like a botched suicide and the hair cover my true mtb scars pretty well.I do wear lycra(but not white/red/blue/green)ok only black , because on a few previous occasions my baggie shorts got stuck on my seat and i moered down.I ride slow because i am fat(tish)and cannot go uphill fast and i go down rapidly to get to my beer at home.That is why i ride my bike.As for "jy dink jy's cooler as ekke" i am cool with that because nevermind if you greet/stop for a puncture etc you are still a fellow cyclist and I like you more than a taxi.
  24. i drink more beer so that i know hydration is not the problem on a more serious note i also suffer from stiffness from time to time but i just go with it and regard it as par for the course on the mtb.luckily it normally only sets in after about 60 -70 km so i guess it is to be expected.core strength training made me more relaxed for longer periods on the bike.
