    TRIALS BIKE

    Um, no The indoor rounds are on man-made obstacles, but the outdoor rounds are all still natural obstacles, and the majority of the club rounds are natural. In the uk and other countries where it is permitted, trials bikes are still road registered to get between sections. There is also an...

    TRIALS BIKE

    Trials is a fantastic sport, and definitely improves your riding. IF you actually ride trials, not just ride a trails bike. The Gauteng trials guys are fantastic, and ride every weekend with monthly competitions. look up the NRTC- northern region trials club and get in touch with them. Give me a...

    Help me decide - Sertao or XT660R

    I never managed to close one off in the 2 sets of headers I replaced and I never saw one closed enough to affect the performance of the bike. They'd get dinged and ovaled, but never closed. And once the plate was on it was a non issue. They're not the highest of bikes, although mine had hyperpro...

    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 fuck 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...

    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.
