That is also why the SRAD's nearly vanished in SA, they were not as hard as the previous Presling's and Slingshots.

Ja they say if you remove three teeth from your rear sprocket you get a higher top speed

Brakpan racing mod this then.....[emoji6]

So with some restrictions lifted and some businesses being allowed to start operating this week I could finally get a much needed chain and sprocket kit for my GS and installed it yesterday.

 

Also the grips are a bit mushy, I think it might be normal grips fitted over the heated inners that didn't stand the test.

Quick cost effective fix was to put some cricket bat grips on for the time being. Just need to remember not to use the heating feature.

 

Ps: when installing the sprockets yesterday I found three teeth missing on the rear presumably after an earlier quick rip down to the shops and back that might've included a wheelie or two.

During lock down, did you sit on it making braap braaaap noises?

I have had a number of suzukis in my life...not ever experienced a terminal failure event. However, i have never subjected any of them to real abuse...except my 50cc when i was young and mechanically dumb. 

 

I had an SRAD 750 with Arrow pipe , 98 model FI...fantastic beast...  wish i had kept that one.

I used every opportunity I could to go buy bread and milk, the long way round.[emoji16]

When I got my first 125, I was the same. 3 or 4 times a day I would go to the cafe to buy bread or milk, always making sure I “forgot” an item that I was sent to get. Our milk stash looked liked a Karen’s toilet paper stash.

They are excellent bikes and the motots are able to withstand some punishment, if you keep them moving.

This redline "fireworks" game wasn't their strong point.

I bought one of those 10 000 piece puzzles. It's going well so far.

Is true

Pulled up behind a oke on a Harley that was revving it at the lights, complete with American flag, piss pot helmet etc. I grabbed a bunch or revs on my my Big Bang R1, the Harley went mysteriously silent and even moved over when the lights went green.

I really like your Giant Loop bags. I have the smaller set on my KLR for carrying tools and spares on my Karoo day rides........well, back when we could do such a thing! I fancy the bigger set for my 1190 Adventure for overnight rides ( some might say more spares required! Ha Ha)

Mrs B’s Kitchen in Hoekwil (my wife’s restaurant) donated face shields and several masks for each clinical staff member at Aberdeen Hospital. As many of you may know, my daughter is doing Comserve there so we have a vested interest. I was lucky enough to be able to arrange a legal permit to deliver the goods myself...........way better than using a courier! I went up on the N9 and ran into a few problems at the Provincial Boundary road block. SAPS were incredible. The Captain in charge guided me through how to rectify the paperwork and then accepted my new permits as an email on my phone. (Lucky to have had connection!)

Anyways, returned through the same roadblock but decided to get home via De Rust and the dirt road through Dysselldorp and Paardepoort. Man, it was awesome to get out on the really quiet roads. Good for my mental health that was!

A little more of my mini Karoo circuit. That KTM 1190 is a lekka delivery bike!

Two weeks ago I had to go see a client on a Saturday afternoon , took the BMW and from him I rode via a bit of dirt bush roads to the office.

On that little detour of mine I suffered a slow puncture that I only discovered later in the day.

Took the wheel of and as luck would have it I discovered that the one side forks seal was leaking, so had to remove the forks to have them serviced this week.

 

Also making with a luggage plate at the moment, had ig CNC'd out of Stainless steel and busy with the mounting process now.

 

Apparently I have reached the limit of the amount of photos I can post in a month with Tapatalk....[emoji848]
