Agreed 100% - nobody leaves home in the morning with the intention of killing someone on the freeway. At the end of the day, our decisions determine our well being, not the other person's.  You choose to drive a bike,  then drive to stay alive.  Don't rely on the other roadusers to avoid you.

I travel that road every day and believe me the fast lane bull whips like you cannot believe - sometimes you are just accelerating to keep up with the car in front of you and you have to pile onto the brakes in a big way.  I make a point of staying 3 secs behind the car in front and on a few...

Well I guess we know where you stand on the sharing community thing...

It is the norm now - flaunting of the road regulations at any opportunity. 90 km/h against stationary traffic - ride into a wall at 90 km/h and see if you live.  And the traumatised lady in her car - what if that was your wife?  And who is going to put her life back together for her?

Ha ha.  So it is OK for somebody to endanger my life "as a joke" in front of his friends.  Not to mention my wife riding alongside me and as she has had a back op for a riding accident, but hey it is all OK!  WTF!

When you get to horses, 1. If you throttle back to a reasonable speed about 30 km/h the sound will be fine.  It is the rev/pop that scares them - anything sudden especially noise. 2. Move away from them to give the rider some space, especially if you are coming from behind the horse. This is...

Speak to Mr. Cox.  I was interested in getting one of them...

Or how bad the car drivers are and do not respect the bikers.

In the interests of peace and harmony, I will withdraw my outburst.

Nie 'n blou Maandag, maar 'n blou Sondag. Gister het 'n klomp op hulle motorfietse verby ek en my vrou gejaag toe ons die perde gaan stap.  Oor die 120 km/h maklik sonder baffles en al.  Toe rev die okie langs my.  En ek sit op een van die jonger perde en as hom kan leer om nie opgewonde in die...

Get well soon. I know they can happen very quickly - too quickly in most cases. Have you managed to sleep the whole night through yet without accidentally rolling onto that shoulder?

A number of these arseholes have no respect for me when I am out walking my horses in the suburbs and race past me with little regard for my safety.  What happens if the horse spooks and I get injured or paralysed.  Why must they do 120-130 in a suburb where the speed limit is 60?  And now the...

However, I have noticed some real Darwin Awards challengers on their bikes of late on the freeway. No debating - it is very unfortunate when someone dies, and our condolences. BUT, most of these people have brought this upon themselves.  I drive carefully when I see bikes, expecting the worst...

I heard that there were a number of 690s in the country when they were dropped from the Dakar.  The factory had 50 built up which they let go to the market.  Cost was about R350k when they landed here.

Start a new post on the R

Came across this site  www.ktmtwins.com which also has a lot of stuff but much cheaper than some of the big sites.

Hmmm....Where about is the bike?

Nice RR, thanks for that.
