I would dearly love the to have the 2.5 but way out of my price range. Years ago I had one for a afternoon as a demo. Man alive it is a machine.

sawystertrance Posted October 7, 2021 Share So Wayne, sorry to hear. To a biker it's like losing a part of you. Keep lots of photos. Andrew_Smith, Hairy and WaynejG 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was spectacular up there. If you were in a car though, I pity you. Traffic was basically standing still and there was no parking. Not a problem for the HD though. I went for a short ride along the coast road. Riding through Camps Bay to get there was hell. Traffic was chock-a-bloc and the are was as crowded as can be. Christmas has come early..

Your eyes are not deceiving you - my friend said the same thing to me the other day we went for a ride. All I can think of is that I need to readjust the rear shock since it was set up according to the previous owner who was heavier than me. The rear shock is not OEM, it was built by a guy in Cape Town, so maybe I should visit him to tune it according to my weight and height.

I think it is the wind that changed the form of the bag, was a bit windy as well on Klipheuwel going through all the way to Malmesbury. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
