Is motorcycling allowed?

I just bought a hydraulic bike lift stand thing from TracMac Bellville. Cant wait to lift my monster off the ground for shock/swingarm refurbishment. The lack of a stand/lift has been hampering progress. while I was there I spotted these two bikes belonging to the owner. Brought back some memories.

I popped past there a few weeks back to look for some jackets/gloves and saw the same two bikes, but under about 1000 boxes! Felt like they needed rescuing from an abusive owner.

So after many years, my OG is on the stand getting restored back to new!

Have had this bike for 23 years, motors is as sweet as ever thanks to Oom Stretch, but now it’s getting all the body bits made pretty again.

That's radical. Long live 2 strokes.

I’m at my investor offices and this is their entrance hall art.

Spoke to the owner, he has never ridden it in 50 years

Still a bucket list bike for me.

Does anyone know if Pro-bolt has an agent in SA or will I need to import?

 

Looking for replacement bolts for my R1 race bike

Those stairs look more dangerous than the bike.

Some silliness

Went for a 3 day road trip form Cape town to Gifberg, Middelpos and then down Gannaga Pass. Man the roads there are in a shocking state and the poor beast lost a bolt or two due to the very bad potholes which go on for about 55km. Tiring too. 

Such good people on the road and the trip was so good for a post-covid recovery.

It's been a while since I've been able to go for a ride so yesterday morning when I woke up and everyone was still asleep I quickly made a flask of coffee and snuck out for a quick ride. It's only about 3km from home, but great for the peace and quiet with a view.

Balls of steel. Hats off to these riders - different breed of humans completely.

I'm doing something completely different in May - I usually join my Dad on this rally http://www.ncmc.org.za/natal.html on one of the classic bikes - but his back is not that great anymore and age is catching up - not so easy starting a 500 British single and riding it with crap suspension and terrible brakes.

So I've convinced him to do the rally on DT's - I'm going to ride my 175 and he's going to ride the 125LC.  Nice and light, easy to start and the long travel suspension will be easy on his back.

Going to be a hoot I think!

Those entry fees and general costs look really reasonable!

This seems like it would be a really fun event!

This is Gorgeous……was always a dream bike of mine but prices a bit steep now. I am thinking to include a 125 into my collection while they are still affordable.
