    Tubeless Conversion Advice

    I see most of the mods are for enduro bikes and I seem to recall that they use rim locks ? (Disclaimer, I now nothing on this subject. I just came from a LOT of km's on tjoobless, so this is all new to me) :-D

    Tubeless Conversion Advice

    https://adventure-motorcycling.com/2019/03/14/about-tubeless-tyres-wheels/ I also had to go and search it now, but it looks like it keeps the tyre from 'collapsing' to the inside of the rim when it goes completely flat

    Riding in traffic

    I learned that the hard way early 2000's I had an FJ1200 and commuted to Paarl from Kraaibak daily I was doing about 125 in the fast lane when a tannie doing 80 pulled out from the slow lane right in front of me I was properly the moer in, so I dropped 2 gears, passed on the left and kept going...

    Riding in traffic

    Another one that also weirdly seems controversial Don't be a vandal. You may have been going too fast, or weaving from another lane, or a driver could just be a bit deur die kak or couldn't judge how far back your light were. But if you break his mirror it means that you didn't go down It will...

    Riding in traffic

    - If a car is a clunker and been banged up from all sides, stay clear. Chances are that if someone have a dent in one place in their car it could've been them or another road user, but to get their car banged up from all sides they are clearly the common denominator - Be weary of cars with...

    Riding in traffic

    Regarding the speed to split faster than traffic Human average reaction time is around 250ms This means that you need a quarter of a second to start pulling the brakes or start to swerve. Then the bike must still react to you If you go 60km/h faster than traffic you are traveling 16.6 m/s in...

    Riding in traffic

    - Don't go too much faster than the traffic - If you go over 80km/h, it is probably not needed to lane split anymore - When you get to a big offramp (like in Capetown direction Paarl on the N1 turn-off to Old Oak or Tygervalley), ride in the most right hand lane like a car. Cars decide at the...

    Ja this was also what my comment was about Heinzz's ape hangers look like it will assist in keeping your arm pits fresh, but not having you reach for the sky all the time

    Like was said, I do appreciate the manufacturing/engineering/art behind these, but man, some of them are ugly (with a capital UG) to me. I do respect the genre for what it is though What I totally don't get though are them proper tall ape hangers. You hang on with straight arms upright, the...

    It is maybe better that way How far can you really travel before having to stop for fuel with all blood drained from you hands/arms and even riding over the painted lines on the road thumping directly into your spine via your coccyx from the hard tail :-)
