Reme Le Hane

Handling was great, just going to drop the bars 5mm as there were a couple of spots I lifted the bike. Would have been way worse if I still had the spank on. Needs some fine tuning, but was a great ride.

Welcome back, kudos on the recovery

Don't worry, I can't spell in either, if I was born before computers I would have failed my language subjects.

In UK that bike would require a drivers license.

Probably, it is here, make model, color and a whole mess of other things need to be provided when licensing a vehicle, you can actually be fined if you respray a car with a different colour and don't update the details, probably the same in UK.

The will I don't actually need, I'm single and have no kids and I will die that way. It exists for the reward points and actually I have not needed it for some time, but it gives me a bugger just in case, I'm usually 1000 to 1500 points above the level 5 requirement and even this year they dropped the point requirements, they actually made getting there easier, on platinum at leas, dunno the other colours requirements.

If you look at banking, there is zero information other than what's shared in these threads, because there are no concrete rules and they hide behind the BS that it's unique calculations relative to your personal profile means they can change the rules at anytime without most people even noticing and nobody will be able to prove it. If you don't know what the rules were, how do you prove they changed? Vitality health and drive at least have concrete rules and diminishing rewards, but who's to say they don't start hiding those away next. To truly benefit from vitality now you need to be all in and for me personally that means leaving a guaranteed R1000 a month for some maybe possible discounts on very specific things that I may or may not do every month, like healthy food for example, everything on the list is the most expensive variant of that product, I literally save more money not shopping off that list. Insurance, again for me personally, I looked into that and from the rewards I'd get about R400 a month in petrol, for double my insurance premiums I'd go from under 1200pm to just over 2500pm and some of the excesses were higher. Vitality health lost all its value, I don't buy shoes, I seldom shop at sportmans as most stuff is considerably cheaper elsewhere, I don't gym, I don't fly, I don't stay in hotels. The entire rewards system is not aimed at me, even most of last year I was loosing out, I was paying in more than I was getting out and it's now depreciated even further. Each person needs to look at it for themselves, for me eBucks is best, for the next guy it's discovery or absa rewards or whatever. I have been with vitality for about 7 years, eBucks even longer and I am that type of person that goes and reads all the rules, works out the best way to maximise my benefits from the system. So I know the Oceans that span between how fnb changes the rules and discovery, as well as the level of transparency around said changes.

And here I was trying to keep the exaggeration to a minimum. [emoji23] #epic

Your clearly doing someone thing wrong, over the last 4 years I have been on level 5 and each year I have had to make minimal changes, most of which are scott free. A few years back I did my will with them, which was free and effectively gives me an entire level, this year I had to add R250pm to my saving account. Big whoop, on avg I make about 5 times my bank changes with zero effort. There are many free ways to get up on levels and unlike discovery they literally give you a list and each year they give you 2 months notice with a list of what's changed in plain and simple English. I read the change doc, logged into my Internet banking and amended my automatic payment into my saving, 60 seconds out of an entire year to get over R12000 back in well money. They definitely move the goal posts but fnb turns a 100m into a 200m while discovery turns a 5k into a marathon and makes u take off your shoes and put on a blindfold

Your confusing discovery with a company that cares.

Health is R300, drive i think is 90 and money is 15

That's technically a good thing, white and bright cars generally have the lowest insurance premiums, darker car are more likely to get into accidents owing to reduced visibility. There was a proposal on UK to actually tie finance premiums to car colour as well, meaning those buying white or bright cars got lower rates than those buying black, grey, silver, etc. Makes sense there, its dark 360 days of the year.

I canceled mine, from this year it would have cost me money to be in vitality. The value gained from it would have dipped bellow the cost of it. At least now I can train properly and more healthy instead of keeping tabs on an avg heart rate.

Yep, went up and the points you get for the checks went down, HIV test dropped to 1k from 5k points. Scoring for fitness assessments are stricter, cash only gets paid to discovery bank accounts otherwise you get miles instead and so on and so on, foook load of changes.

Mine says blue when it should say canceled.

Your confusing an inverter with a ups.

A ups cannot handle the power draw of a house. The batteries are not the issue. A house will trip a ups long before the batteries get involved.

So you spell out an acronym and then say your actually using an inverter which is a completely different piece of hardware. A ups tops out at 2ka and cannot handle a high power draw, inverter on the other hand you can go bat **** crazy with. That's like trying to say a scateboard and a ferrari are the same thing cause they have wheels.

Running a house for 24 hours is not a ups. That is literally a functional impossibility.

That's expecting too much

If it would even work you'd need an inverter. A 2kva ups which is the biggest you get would prolly run it for 10 minutes, assuming the ups can handle the current draw. Rather invest in a generator, it will cost less in the long run.

Suppliers working fast hey, ordered new Goggles from The Hanger yesterday morning and collected em today, perfect timing with tomorrow being shuttle day. The 100%'s were just too small internally.

Yeah, but I already moved life cover out, I got better for less than the discounted amount at old mutual.
