We were talking sounds clips a couple of pages back, but the feedback has been slow to zero.

Here is a quick clip from mine this morning.

I am replacing her with something called sport shooting with a Glock 19X and the accessories that go with it.

Still keeping the kit, maybe I'll return in the future again.

But for now change of hobbies, my friend already sold his bike last Monday and the lonely riding is not fun at all.

Hairy, were you riding on the coast road, direction town, on Sunday at about 10.30 am? I thought I saw you in the are near the Antipolis wreck

Unfortunately not, I had my head down with work.

Ah OK. It seems you may have a doppelganger riding around. I only caught a fleeting glance at the bike and am not sure of the colour but it definitely has the double headlights like yours. 

Incidentally, as a result of complaints by Hout Bay loacls to Superbikes racing through Hout Bay and up Chappies and the coast road on weekends, the traffic police are out in force every weekend with roadblocks checking all bikes for every detail of roadworthiness. If you go there, ride slowly and make doubly sure your bike is compliant. I see some guy was fined and had his bike licence removed for having bolts through his number plate as a means of attachment. Be warned, it's an expensive and frustrating experience.

I have tracked down 2 x black Fat Bob's and a cream/maroon one in the area.

Surely they will not target a HD, they know it can not go faster than 60km/h with a good tail wind and going downhill!

Honestly. Chappies is *** on a superbike. the corners are too tight and they tighten up on themselves. 

I live in Hout Bay and I can honestly say I wish those road blocks could be there 24/7. It's truly terrifying going for a run on Chappies on a Sunday afternoon and seeing how many people are absolutely out of their tree about to get behind the wheel of a car.

The bikes are loud but they are gone by mid morning. And the guys on them are at least sober.
