ecg15 Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 SO sorry to hear about what happened to you. really am. I hope you are ok .
Frosty Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Glad you're okay. Where in Alberton did this happen?
Baaisikilist Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 This is really starting to get ridiculous... Please let us know exactly where it happened so we can ride in numbers and be vigilant. Has it been reported to the incompetent police...? Is it time for us to get a private security company involved in a sting operation...?
Audaxnut Posted April 20, 2015 Author Posted April 20, 2015 Happened at 11:30Hrs on Friday 17 April 2015 on the Old Vereeniging Road, just before the intersection with Potgieter Street in Alrode, Alberton. I was heading south. Lots of people around but no one paid attention. Brackendowns Police Station very helpful unlike Thokoza Police Station
Jubster Posted May 7, 2015 Posted May 7, 2015 I also think we need to be vigilant when components are sold cheaply. It seems like with cars the spares also sold separately.
Lucky Fish Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Unless I am mistaken this is the road that is called the "Steps" by the Germiston Wheelers club. I know, for a while, they never rode here because of safety concerns.
