Caerus Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 I see that the Air Cooled Culture have also made an appeal on Facebook. Gerlach and Tumbleweed 2
DJpak Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 I almost knocked down twice during last two riding...The drivers didnt check... so I had to shout to them.... surprisingly no one said 'sorry' !!!!!!!!I know most of drivers are good but some stupid guys are out there. Be careful..
DJR Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 so basically 2 days have gone by and the bloody cops haven't managed to catch him because they are too lazy or too stupid this guy has not shown up after running away? anyone know if he has actually come forward? :cursing: Fixed it :cursing: Meezo 1
Gen Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 I mtb bike so I stay as far from the tar as possible. But last yr I decided to do a 2 days base tour or what ever with the local roadies and had to borrow a road bike.. I went out for a ride a couple of days before to get used to the bike and a truck nearly took me out ( I was preparing for the impact).. tell you what that tarmac can handle the dirt.

ichops Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 I see that the Air Cooled Culture have also made an appeal on Facebook.I have checked with AC Culture - the driver/owner is unknown to them - he does however live in Cape Town - the car is seen regularly arround town - so it's up to the cops now ----- like that's going to do a lot of good
johnw Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 The Kharmann Ghia is no longer parked in Kloof Rd. The SAPS detective involved has been making progress.
DJR Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) The Kharmann Ghia is no longer parked in Kloof Rd. The SAPS detective involved has been making progress. So, did the cops take it to the pound? That is what they should have done soon after the incident when the driver fled. Or did they leave it so long that the owner came to fetch it in the middle of the night? Edited January 17, 2014 by DJR (Deon) 1
LeTurbo Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 (edited) That's a pretty little Kharmann. At least the cyclist is OK ... I hope the car eventually gets to a driver who treats life more responsibly too. Edited January 21, 2014 by LeTurbo
dre Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 Speaking about a Kharmann...has anybody seen my light blue Ghia? Parked it on Kloof road about a week ago. Got out of car and ran away cause' I was attacked by a cyclist  In all seriousness... Does anyone have an update? No one from the SAPS a hubber maybe...
johnw Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 SAPS have been in contact with all parties. Statements have been made and charge laid. It is probaby best not to undermine the process by posting detail at this stage.
