They were 3, I was hit maybe 10 minutes before you. At the same spot, then a guy hit the one suspect with a Nissan Champ.

Apart from the stab wounds it looks like a car hit you

Hi Andreas, yes the bike was hit by a car he tried to stop the thieves unfortunately that cost me my bike. And sorry for clarity was not a stab wound that is from the fall when the pulled me from my bike at speed.

Oh no, sorry to hear🤪🙈 we actually turned around and invited them for a "chat" but they ran away...cowards😡 there were definately only 2 when we were attacked, 3rd guy might have been nursing his injuries by then as a result of the bakkie hit😉 glad youre alive🙏🙏🙏 sorry about the bike but that can at least be replaced🤪👍

@Walter van der WathAfter some thought I think your attack happened after our incident otherwise we would have definately seen you there after the attack😉

I'm assuming it's the same incident... heard at my LBS that I guy I know was hit by a truck on Sat morning in St James heading towards Kalk Bay. A large truck passed him fairly close and next thing he was hit from behind and launched off his bike. Either there was something protruding from the trailer or it was wider than the truck. Sounds like he's properly bruised & battered plus has a nasty gash on his right rear where he was hit. Lucky to be alive!
