mr_stig Posted August 19, 2016 Share As a weak-willed person who has recently been faced with a similar question, I can tell you that the answer is yes. And if you can't afford it, sell a kidney or child. ebenvn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamA Posted August 19, 2016 Share Eben, Coming from Belgium, you could hire a bike here... That way you would save on Flying the bike out here, and worrying about it while you fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whatsup! Posted August 19, 2016 Share Eben, Coming from Belgium, you could hire a bike here... That way you would save on Flying the bike out here, and worrying about it while you fly. That Sir is bad advice. Joberg2C is not a one day classic.Make sure you train in the bike you will ride or you are very likely to end up with injuries and not finish.

nox1111 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Recently I had a very similar conversation with a friend of mine -also a hubber when I was planning to buy a new vehicle. His reply was a youtube link - here: For me though, bikes are different, and I feel that you should be on the bike that you want - within reason.If you are a beginner, or have a tight budget, hang tight and ride the best bike you can afford, or the one you have. If and when you get good/outgrow and need a new bike based on out-skilling your bike's abilities, or if your wallet is too small for your R200 notes and your diamond shoes are too tight, get the bike you want to be on - and watch the clip again... ebenvn 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hennie VR Posted August 19, 2016 Share Or you could buy a Pyga and have a SA brand bike when your back in Belgium.Could strike up some interesting conversations when your out riding. AdamA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
