    Help me decide - Sertao or XT660R

    I rode my XT on some really technical bits. I put a solid, ugly home made skid pan on, and never worried about the exhausts again... The extra 30mm clearance you are stressing about doesn't matter, and doesn't make a difference in the bigger scheme of things if you're grounding the belly of your...

    Life in America - We made the move.

    R25/l for diesel is about on par at the moment. Pork cuts can be cheaper, but R100/kg is not uncommon, and for some cuts R130/kg wouldn't surprise me. Any meat is generally over R100/kg. Don't even ask about vegetables. Your rent is a lot more though, the others are examples not exorbitant.

    Why we (should) wear boots. WARNING VERY GRAPHIC!!!

    I have, a while ago I almost did it. The plates in the front of my pelvis there is not a **** I'm letting anyone go near, they're in, were the most painful thing I've encountered when they were put in, and they don't bother me. My arm they restrict movement a bit, but the surgeon says he'll take...

    Why we (should) wear boots. WARNING VERY GRAPHIC!!!

    I read this thread every time with mixed feelings. I have the fixtures in my pelvis still, basically bolts going into my pelvis and 2 rods running across my lower back like brakpan bull bars. Massively uncomfortable at times, and I can feel how they restrict my movement, but I just can't bring...

    Supercross Mondays at the German Club Edenvale

    CR2050HR Battery ???

    Try battery experts in edenvale, but a 2032 and a 2mm shim will probably work. 2050 is 20mm diameter and 5mm thick, and 2032 is 20mm diameter and 3.2mm thick.

    Birds of South Africa

    OK, a flock of these ( about 9 or 10) were circling my house the other day, any ideas? My dad says seceratary birds, but I don't think so, and his second guess was crowned cranes, but that didn't seem right either. To me they seemed to look like some kind of stork or spoon bill type bird.

    I find them in the trees where we have an eagle owl for what it's worth.

    Birds of South Africa

    and today there were none. 😥 I didn't check over the weekend, and yesterday there was only one. I get a barn owl in there everty now and then, and removed a redlipped herald yesterday evening, or maybe they just didn't survive, but I'll leave the nest up for next year. At least the two chicks...
