Is motorcycling allowed?

Very important is to take the outer as well as the lead attachments on the lever and the clutch arm with. These differ from bike to bike.

Just take cable to place that makes brake and clutch cables. Many around that will be able to help.

And they will be cheaper than the stealers ag I mean dealers.

Not sure how it happens but often when you stop at a red robot and there is another bike, you just know when a drag race is on. Other times it is a normal pull away.

There's very few cars that can stay with a bike from zero to 40ish - in fact even to 60 most cars battle.  I remember once some guy in an Aston Martin was itching for a drag race with a BMW and I was on my DT200 in the third lane watching this.  I couldn't resist and had them for about 200m before they came flying past.  Best part was at the next traffic light I filtered past them both, giving a little rev just to let them know I was still going to get to the next traffic light in front of them!  There's still some kid in me, even at close to 50!

It seems that my weekend riding is cut short (no pun intended) ????

When you install the replacement, make sure the fitting on the end of the cable can rotate freely in the notch on the clutch handle. Otherwise the cable will bend at the end every time you operate the clutch, which will result in another premature failure.

On the way to Franschhoek via Durbanville Hills and had to stop to put a jacket on under the bike jacket... It was that cold

New Harley 

Harley-Davidson Sportster S unveiled with new chassis, new engine and new £14k pricetag | MCN (motorcyclenews.com)

90kw, around 14k.... not really a sportster at that price. But i sure do like the looks of it

Interesting that they note at the end of the vid I posted, that they are going to be bringing in other sportsters in the range, and some of those would carry more classic lines.

Really like that marketing vid u posted. Harley have upped their game in the marketing stakes an bikes. 
 

if I had the coin I would have one of these. Think it’s right on the money. Big bruiser and I think that extra 30 hp will be easy to get back. ( difference tween pan America an this)

I finally got my bike sold, was super bleak when I rode it for the last time. But it's been standing for almost 6months just getting started to idle and take a ride around the block to make sure everything stays right.

Unfortunately having a bike during lockdown and working from home permanently just doesn't work for me. I barely drive my car as it is now.
So I've decided to wait until covid calms down, hopefully mid next year, push the bike payment into savings and then look at buying again when things are semi-normal again.

Will prob be looking at either the superduke or the street fighter.

That might just be a very smart move!
