Jewbacca Posted January 31, 2023 Share You guys all have way better super powers than I do. I definitely do not have the ability to watch the road, dodge holes/cats eyes/debris while holding a wheel and chatting AS WELL AS look at a bike computer with metrics, a reverse light and still manage to look up and over my shoulder. mecheng89, The Ouzo, Scary Rider and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Add in poor eye sight into the mix meaning it takes a fraction longer to focus on the road behind. Scary Rider and Jewbacca 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More than half the vehicles were bakkies .... most being white .... Try living in eMalahleni ( Witbank) - all the bakkies and Fortuners are white. I used to comment that one quick way to clear a restaurant was to announce that a white bakkie had been bumped in the carpark. mecheng89 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is conscious and respond to questions by pressing her hand. Multiple fractures in leg, sternum and neck vertebra. Will have surgery as soon as blood pressure stabilise. Sound like his condition are stabilising but not out of danger as yet. mecheng89, ChrisF, shaper and 2 others 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am finding myself more and more interested in one though ... I was going down Constantia Nek on my own yesterday with lots of wind noise when a BMW (luckily not a white bakkie) flew by really close ... at that moment I thought a radar could have been really handy.!

After this thread and this incident happening on home turf I decided to get A Garmin Varia some weeks ago. It's an absolute life changer.
