R2 000, has a few scratches from a gravel ploeg but not too bad, size = XL.

Had a flat with my ex Goose on the N1, phoned my insurance, got us a drive to our destination and got the bike with a replaced tyre back to me a few days later, wouldn't stress too much.

Wouldn't chance it, had a BIB fail on me within 1hr of fitting it and that was on an extreme Enduro trail. Maxis did a hybrid inflatable one a few years ago, might be woth looking in to.

Seals do dry out so I would give it a warm-up swing once a month, fill tank if steel - they do rust, put on battery tender and gooi a butplug in the worst.

Did they decide on which oil is the best in the end?

Laaitie has been struggling for work, started training at Emirates Dubai today after some time off, got issued with a fully fitted apartment, it’s lekker when they do these things on their own steam with no input from the folks.

Off topic I guess, busy servicing my Pajero today, this is all I put in the old girl, a VW Master Tech gave me the tip and I’ll stick with it. On another note, I’m never changing brake disks on my own ever again, I learned a bit but it’s a super kak job on your own without impact tools.

My main gripe about my Sporty is the seat, it get's very uncomfortable very quick, I've cycle from CT to PE and done many cycling endurance races on a seat essentially made of plywood so I'm hardegat, yet my arse still pains on extended rides on the Sporty, it's a super fun bike to zip around...

I have a 1200 Sportster, you won’t do those distances on it, gets uncomfortable after 100km or so. Make sure you get something with a screen.

It’s the fuel, the polyethylene eventually sweats when it gets saturated over time, it also expands and contracts so, no, it can’t be painted.
