Is motorcycling allowed?

[Steven Knoetze (sk27)]

Ride magazine just published an interesting article about TFT dash theft. Never heard of it before but apparently it’s a problem esp BMW an KTM dashes.

 

Jip, heard about it.

See there has been a spike in headlight theft in SA.

Also saw a worrying video of catalytic convertor theft in Europe, stop next to the vehicle, jack it up and use a saw to remove the cat. Drop the vehicle and leave. Crazy!!!

Happened to a colleague of mine about 18 months ago. She was talking bout it an I was perplexed. Thought I had heard it all.

 

Cost her 1800 quid to replace an it has to be done or else car fails mot.

 

She has a Prius. Popular with thieves. Happened in a Waitrose parking lot. She got in car completely unaware an phone her husband to say car sounded funny.

 

I then researched this. There were over 13000 reported in incidents in uk that year.

My dad has bought his last 3 Harleys from there, all excellent condition and the once an issue did crop up they sorted him out no questions asked.

What I also like about them is that their price on the tag is the price you pay .. not on the road fees or hidden admin fees.

Whatever you do, do not mention these thefts on that other forum we on. Heavens alive they will never let up on you.

I'm looking for A jacket that's similar to the one in the first pic and has the simlar construction to the 2nd pic , I don't need A ton of padding/insulation ( this won't be my goto winter jacket ) 

One of the guys in this pic has a similar jacket, I am sure he can assist you in finding what you are looking for.....

Hey guys, I'm looking to sell my bike, I don't want to but circumstances are forcing me to. Hope this thread is appropriate to ask on.

It's a KTM Duke 790, is there any other places on could look at private sales other than gumtree, junkmail and fb marketplace?

Getting a lot of scammers and people wasting my time.

 

Edit - Webuycars and fireitup are last resort as they offered me around 50k less than what the bikes are going for 2nd hand.

That looks remarkably similar to what my little 350 once did (circa 2017).

I did a coffee run to Deluxe and pop in at Big Bike Center (In the back of Tracmac) ... oh my word do they have some spotless and awesome bikes!

Exceptional service knowing I was just kicking tyres and then it came about that he was at HD Cape Town before I remembered meeting him there too where he offered the same level of service.

 

Long Story short I will be looking here first for a bike and I have also just picked up a contract that should be the final bit of cash needed to buy a bike. 

 

It has been a long and challenging road, as the "bike budget" is at the bottom of the priority list and this bloody COVID economy has not helped much either, but bit by bit it has come closer
