DIPSLICK Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Living in CT have to pay these sort of fees foe every Sani2c - still worth it though !!!Maybe it's time to start a "rent a bike for Argus " business ?deal with difficult once of full of dwang cyclists,, do you have a early death wish,,you should know how full of it cyclist are
DIPSLICK Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 I got nailed at 04:20 in the morning for an illegal (small) number plate = R500.00Haven't paid it yet (this was 18 months ago ) so I'm hoping it will go away it wont
Hairy Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Starting to sound cheaper to drive down. Flights for 2 people - R4500?Two bikes shipped - R2500?Total = R7000  6 tanks of petrol + tolls = R4800 (worst case scenario)And then you still have transport in CT while you are here too!
DIPSLICK Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 the last quotes i was working on when i was still riding were around R7500FOR FLIGHTS/CAR RENTAL/HOTEL FRIDAY TILL MONDAY THEN AROUND R800 FOR THE BIKE
madmarc Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Sell me your entry, I need about 10 extra entries How much you offering, I may have one laying around
Wannabe Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 i posted before so sorry for the repaeat who read this before, but i practically own beauford wes, all those towns are sneaky they go 120 - 60 in like 20m ill check but it was like 3k fines and the lawyers fees and i really was taking it easy,,2 sleep overs stop for pics no rush rush in some towns i got 2 fines in one envelope  in a bakkie Eina.Ja, those buggers are sneaky. Sometimes 2 x traps before you even entered the dorp. They were hiding in culverts, under camoflage nets, on the side of the road on the "cuttings" where you can see for kilometers the cars coming down the hills ON WIDE OPEN ROADS.Decided I'm not gonna donate one damn cent to them, therefore I took it nice and slow.Did not even stop in Beaufort to put in petrol or buy water.

Mailman7412 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Just out of interest sakes, what was the fuel price then compared to now? R12.96l for 93 octane in Bloem Grebel 1
Ferret69 Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Wondering as to the real reason for this.Has bookings been really slow (due to the overall high costs, current situation) and they want to fill their bookings ASAP.It cant be the interest rate hike; 37.5% hike is just OTT.Gravy train pulled into the station?It probably takes 3 bikes to cover the fuel costs from JHB to CT and back now, then perhaps a couple more for truck and driver rental, and maybe a few more to cover insurance and space hire... Lekker by die see. Or perhaps its all the new e-Toll costs      Go www.thebikemigration.co.za R800 return per bike DIPSLICK 1
Cellar Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 truck and driver rental,  Why would they rent a truck and driver? Aren't they basically a removal company? As in with their own trucks and drivers?
AngryAustrian Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 You could just get a whole lot of people together, hire a bus for the weekend and hook a bike trailer on the back. Not sure on costs but if you divide it by 30 or so people it might just make sense.
Andrew Steer Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 If you don't want to ride this year, you could have just said that your knee was sore..... no need to write a novel.The lengths he is going to, to get out of his bet with Fabes is pretty ridiculous...

Delgado Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Not really a suprise! Age old SA economic concept of exploit and take the pi$$s of a captive audience!? Li Mu Bai and DIPSLICK 2
andydude Posted January 30, 2014 Posted January 30, 2014 Just out of interest sakes, what was the fuel price then compared to now? It's the same. I still fill up to R100 every time. DIPSLICK 1
