Bound to have fireworks in the HMRC garage.Pity about Full Trottle. Shopping there ( many years ago ) made me feel like a young boy in a toy ship ( Must say I was always of the silent opinion that it was not well managed and that they were merely riding the motorcycling bubble).

Of late their range has been poor and their pricing not so great.I agree on the mismanagement. Lots of staff arsing around with really poor service and no product knowledge. The way the liquidation happened was shocking. Saw the sign up on the door informing staff of the liquidation so they literally pitched up up at work not knowing they didn't have a job anymore, or thats the way it appears anyway. Tromp 1

We were up in JHB late last year and I decided to pop into Full Throttle to get some gloves for my son and I. That's when I found out that the clearance and retail stores were now one store and the sales staff that were in the retail store were less than useful. Stock levels were very low and as you mentioned, a lot of people milling around not doing much. Used to be a regular trip to Full Throttle when I was up that way. Guess we'll have to make do with Rocket Racing down here by the seaside. Steven Knoetze (sk27) 1
sawystertrance Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 Grebel,What happened about your "driving offence" ticket?

Grebel Posted June 8, 2018 Posted June 8, 2018 Grebel,What happened about your "driving offence" ticket?Nothing so far. If I had the time, I would go to court and fight it. As much as it burns my arse, I am going to go to the local municipality offices on Saturday morning and just pay it.
BSG Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 Someone talked about motorbike carriers that fits onto your car after I've posted a picture on here of a camper that had one with a BMW F 650 GS on. Well I found this guy on Facebook who builts some as well. Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk
Skylark Posted June 18, 2018 Posted June 18, 2018 How do those bike carriers work relative to the ball weight that towbars are designed to carry, something like 100kg max vs a 200kg bike?

mazambaan Posted June 19, 2018 Posted June 19, 2018 I have a similar bike carrier from XRad - works ok on a mid size vehicle - Discovery / Fortuner (IMHO). I have had a KTM 640 adventure on it - you could feel the weight but it held up ok for the 50km or so I used it. Lighter bikes are a breeze. Bit of a cumbersome towhitch fitting - it doesn't use the towball.
