    R45,000.00 for 2008 X-Challenge? UPDATE

    Wow. Sound brilliant. Maybe just ask for the VIN and engine numbers to check his response, you wouldn't want to buy a crashed or stolen bike (if you're not financing).

    Road rage - beware

    I carry SWAT OC spray on the backpack strap across my chest for situations where violence (or Rottweillers) can not be avoided. Its taped with black electrical tape so it's not that noticeable. IMO sometimes the only solution to violence is escalation until your opponent gives up. Just never...

    Hopefully getting my new scoot today!

    Not anymore, I'm now doing Benoni to Jhb CBD on a daily basis, but I remember seeing you often between Benoni and Midrand when you still had the big GS.

    xr650 vs xchallenge

    I'd like to see THAT, because I've tested both the G650 xCountry and the F800 (okay it was the ST and S), and the F800 beat the G650 hands down for on-road acceleration.

    Congrats. You still doing the chicken run between Benoni and Midrand?

    Okay. So, do you know where I need to go for a scooter101 meet and at what time do they start on the days you mentioned? Also, do you think my Raider 150 (with motorcycle style 1-N-2-3-4-5-6 gears, manual clutch and engine not mounted on the rear wheel) still qualifies as a scooter?

    Cool. Where do I go and at what time do they start on the respective days? Cool. Pity that facebook is blocked at my work. I just asked about Thursdays because on their 2009 calendar it's the only days that's circled.

    Commuting with your scoot

    Nothing to be ashamed of. When I stayed and worked in Pretoria I also took the bus. Less stress, cheap and you can read a book (or whatever) while you commute.

    What is scooter101 and why do they only have events on Thursdays?

    Commuting with your scoot

    I see a guy with KTM kit on a Yamaha Black Max that takes his kid to school, then goes to work every day on his scoot.

    Commuting with your scoot

    Over four years and 50,000km the TCO on my Raider 150 has been less than R40k. That includes the initial purchase price, insurance, petrol, maintanance, basically everything. I'd like to see you beat that with a cage.

    Comparing bikes - eg KTM640!

    ..and the fuel range problem can be fixed.

    Cager tried to knock me out intentionally

    I'm all for letting it slide and even giving the guy a friendly wave (open hand, no middle finger), but sometimes it may just go too far. Usually when it goes too far the cagers just flee the scene, but this is not always going to be the case. Personally I carry SWAT OC spray, which is the same...

    One wheeled motorcycle

    Looks like a three weeler to me.

    Useless Bike Gear web sites!

    IMO from a product page, one click on "Add to Basket" should take the user to a "Shopping Cart" page with the options to "Checkout" or "Continue Shopping". If they select "Checkout" a maximum of four pages (forms with fields and "Submit" buttons) later the transaction must be complete. I agree...

    Learners

    The best place in Gauteng for Learners or License is Randburg Testing Station. I got my Learners within a week and a half of phoning for a booking. License bookings are reportedly the same, so you must just be willing to travel a bit.

    Found this on ratbike.org, its a post-apocalyptic styled R1100 GS, I think it looks cool (very anti-establishment, especially for a BMW).
