DR ◣◢ Posted July 7, 2020 Share Thinking of buying a bike? Sure, buy eyewear for R2,490 and gloves for R715. That's R3000+ that you could put towards a better bike. 428 others, Christofison, badiejb and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trevz Posted July 7, 2020 Share That accessory list...Wow. lol. I can understand for the helmet and shorts, i think those 2 are real important. I got my R500 Darcs from Sportsmans for like 4 years now with the different lenses, still happy with it...That would leave 2k to buy the next higher spec bike...the 2k could be the difference between getting a coil shock vs the next level, an air shock...Thats more important than the Oakley...As a newbie you go over the bars, face first and shove your 2.5k Oakley into your face when you could have had hydraulic brakes instead. lol #Eish Underachiever, Hairy, DieselnDust and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
