    Learners license

    Had to do the Learners thing again in Jan. Centurion - on the tablet PC thingie. Not all cut and dried and easy as what I remembered it to be last time. Passed it. Felt a bit odd, being the oldest one of the group, all the rest are snot nosed rats younger than my own kids... Now to find a...

    And? A X thousand ronts you gonna splash out on a product that they want you to buy and he cant remember stuff??? I would take the gent one side and have a informal chat to him about how he is going to treat you like a rock star for the foreseeable future, other wise the deal is going somewhere else

    Suzuki B120 and Honda MB100 project bikes

    Learned gear changes on a MB100. Great bike and tough as nails, it didn’t die when my brother and I tried to kill it. Dad fitted it with a delivery box - which coincidently took a crate of beers…. Many memories made on that one👍🏻

    I observed two miracles this morning!

    I had a bit of shock on the way home today. Saw a KTM390, looked well ridden, but it had a chap with a BMW jacket on... Dunno if the poor chap was serving some form of punishment by: a. Wearing a BMW jacket. b. Wearing a jacket in this weather. c. Riding a KTM. I was so shocked that I didnt wave...

    First bike that made you stop and stare ?

    Never too old to learn good habits, like wearing ATGATT. :)

    GS block model bike

    Seat height a bit low and that suspension won’t be able to handle better than it’s competitors. But at that price it is a bargain and one can buy aftermarket suspension with the money saved.

    Cager Skills

    I am always amazed how vehicles, both cars and bikes, "hide" behind the A pillar of a car. Especially approaching a traffic circle/mini-circle. I always make an effort at moving my head to see what is behind those pillars. I hate it when the Sixty60 bunch ride close to me on the left hand...

    Cager Skills

    We read of cars causing accidents with bikes and curse the drivers. Damned cagers, may the fleas of a thousand camels infest their nether regions….. But every-so often we (bike riders) are also cagers. It would never happen to us…..”I am way too good a driver/biker to ever cause an accident...

    Question my priorities

    Frikki, sterkte and glad that you relatively OK. But, how’s this for being fortuitous? Why not use GSA spares and the K bike to build FrankenBMwer? Build something so ugly that it will make the Purists eyes water and 2SD explode? :) Imagine the possibilities…. The skid stain, did it survive...

    Emergency Braking

    Oh, that’s what is meant by a “briekmerk”… Always thought it was dark marks elsewhere……..

    Hearing protection while riding

    Cheap foam types are what I use. The more expensive ones don’t seem to sit lekker and annoy me after a bit. Use them for longer rides (anything longer than 30 min). But the process of putting them on, then the helmet and then the gloves sometimes gets past me. Gloves on. Helmet on. Remember to...

    How to book a motorcycle licence test in Gauteng

    Can one hold two bike Learners Licences at the same time (one valid but about to expire and the next one for the next two years)? I understand that many of the tracks are US and thus there is a big problem in getting a slot P.S. Have exactly the same problem….
