    Biker Down- how does it affect you?

    Tom, we never say this enough, but in my mind being a paramedic is more of a calling than a job I cannot convey the amount of respect I have for your profession and the selfless people who put themselves on the line (physically and like you said also mentally) The downside of giving other...

    Biker Down- how does it affect you?

    I anyway have that little voice at the back of my mind to this day that tells me every time I swing my leg over the seat that 'Today can be the day' Keeps me humble on the road (and mostly not losing respect for the bike and what can happen), so when I see something it just sharpens that...

    By the light of the silvery moon (of is ons net met die maan gepla ?!)

    As one gets older, the thrill of experiencing something new gets fewer and farther between. It is not that we get more jaded and maybe more difficult to impress (although I am not discounting that idea on the grounds of my impending and rapidly increasing own grumpiness, but I digress), but...

    Veichle disc renewal E-NATIS website. Kudos!

    FFS I've had a couple of those over the years, but having such an online presence and how much we buy on the internet and let it be delivered there has been 1 or two times where that 'trying to deliver a package' scam sms's came as I was expecting something for real I hate that we are in a...

    Route advice from Cape Town to Hogsback and return

    Turbulence behind cars

    I think the more 'boxy' and less aerodynamic the vehicle (especially at the back), the more the turbulence If the low pressure 'hole' behind the car isn't filled properly the turbulence will be worse

    130kg and Small bike

    I had a TTR250 when I was about 150kg I didn't think I did the bike any favours, but it managed quite well with the commute and some light touring Never bottomed it out or felt like abusing it I have a lot of mechanical sympathy, so I never tried to be an enduro god on it If he can find a...

    Rechargeable headlamps

    These are very good, but not always 'camp friends friendly' If you want everywhere in front of you illuminated it is great, but if you are using it for braaing while having a conversation with other people, every time you look in their direction it is a bit uncomfortable Works like a freakin'...
