    950 vs. 990

    There are a few imperceptibles changes as well. 1. The 2012 bike is much more balanced that the older bikes, with a lower centre of gravity. 2. There has been a steady improvement in performance and reliability of key components. e.g. 30k now between timing gear service whereas the older ones...

    Back exercise after high jump

    My wife ruptured a disc in a cross country horse competition.  So I know the process. I suggest a trip to Dr. Greg Duddy (a chiropractor) at Meyersdal Chiropractic Clinic.  He treats the Protea cricketers and a few other top sportsman, as well as having a few of the homeopathic remedies on hand...

    Fear of Braking

    A further consideration is all of the stuff that happened before the fall.  Like, 1. what gear? 2. Prepared for an event like the Camry?  What about a dog?  A goat? A child? (as we become more "African" we can expect more and more shit on the roads) 3. Comfortable with the speed? 4. In a...

    Helmet X-Ray?

    In an accident, there is excess energy in the system, namely the head.  The system has to get rid of that energy - in this case kinetic energy (movement). Technically speaking, the person dies (the neck is broken) when the deceleration of the brain inside the skull exceeds 450g, and above 400g...

    New product research. I need your advice and opinions please.

    Just a thought Michnus, there is a durable plastic around that you use inside the oven on top of the baking trays and it does not melt etc. With that you can have the optimised pan with the plastic liner which can be washed under a tap. will need some investigation...

    New product research. I need your advice and opinions please.

    A thought... look at what the army used as that is as tried and tested as you can get. The dixies were uncoated aluminium, rectangular and had folding handles.  Also could cook anything and everything...and you had 2 together.  I still hike with mine. Current uses: 1. Coffee - boil a...

    KTM 990 Average km's on a tank?

    The question that you are asking is very technical. Basically, there are many ways to extract the power from an engine, be it through design, fuel combustion technology, etc.  The only fixed issue on the radar is that to deliver the quoted power of the engine (84.5kW in the case of the KTM), it...

    Harley club faggots blocking intersections

    I know the one bunch of losers (read tossers) is from the Clearwater Harley whatever.  How do I know, because the toss proudly showed me his jacket. Unfortunately I had to stop as I was towing a horsebox with 2 horses and I was more worried about my horses than the brainless loser on his scrap...
