splat Posted January 5, 2020 Share A new piece of furniture for the house/home office.3000VA system (not sure what the batteries are - 600 cycle something or other). Now that load shedding really is an integral part of our future:Next up is to change all lights to LED'sThen to get it wired into the DBAnd then possibly some solar panels Edited January 5, 2020 by splat Eddy Gordo, Long Wheel Base, BSG and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted January 6, 2020 Share Got a nice boot bike rack that welcomes my Rocket and possibly any other bikes out there nice and safely: WhatsApp Image 2020-01-01 at 11.39.24.jpeg And then my fiancée started getting into it, rented a bike a few times also had her first crash and still keen so got her a little something at a killer price: WhatsApp Image 2020-01-01 at 10.59.43.jpeg Now you just need a number board with lights so people behind you will actually know what your intentions are.Also, you may have issues with the cops with regards to rearward visibility but its no worse than somebody towing a caravan.

Steven Knoetze (sk27) Posted January 7, 2020 Share Rearward visibility should not be an issue, many a caddy van and delivery vans out there with blacked out rear windows. That's really a secondary concern.It's the fact that the rear lights are covered. Are you braking, are you planning on turning, which way, etc, etc , etc.I have the same issue with guys that use the X-ramp carriers for motorcycles. Covers all the lights and yet if you ride into them, you are at fault.............. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

splat Posted January 7, 2020 Share Where from? I'm looking at options as well.I started window shopping here: https://www.geewiz.co.za/long-run-ups-inverter-battery/93614-axpert-type-3000va-pure-sine-inverter-2x-100ah-battery-8-hour-battery-life-kit-3000w.html But ended having one built by a mate's electrician brother (i am in Cape Town). Head over here for some more ideas and options: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/146656-a-dark-africa-lays-aheadload-shedding/page-39?do=findComment&comment=3596506 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HdB Posted January 8, 2020 Share I finally upgraded my bike end Dec. I reckon new wheels will have to wait until next birthday or Christmas. (Yes, the giant saddlebag on an aero bike is not the prettiest. I should get something smaller - I don't like having too many things in my shirt pockets).
