Well, I never. Isn't that the cutest thing you've ever seen?

Miniature Black Labels.

It was first stop, but some had full size Zamalek, I just did not fit in the pic.... and broke the bike later....

Must say I feel less pissed off having seen that the guys had a great ride still, and more exposure of that beautiful area...

Ha-Ha.
We have gone soft.
Since Zonkel does not ride with us anymore, it was 9:20 before the first beer...and it was a Miniature.


 
It saddens me to show this, but it happened; so here it is.
A KTM guy fixing a Beemer. (has the world gone mad???)

I have to ask this, what exactly did you guys do to get this bike rideable to take it home?

I think it was the ultra thick Allen key that did the trick.

Ja. Even my Green Stuff came back almost untouched. :eek:

It was a long day. Too many beer stops would have made it almost impossible to complete.

An 8mm Allen key, stuck in single side and held in with the stuff that holds the universe together DUCT TAPE...

Did 200km home no hitch, I just have to get the other side out, no time today.. 
 
Thanks. This kind of knowledge is priceless, but I suspect it's stuff you only learn in tough times and tight spots.

Welsh, glad you got home ok. That's a serious bit of bad luck on your bike, hope nothing else got damaged from it.

Biggest damage my pride, it was my area that I like, I planned poorly and my bike failed due to something I knew about, I was enjoying the pace etc but, EK IS A POOES? speiling may be corrected. 

The pics just make me jealous..

But I see he had his phone attached to his ear, probably getting advice from a Beemer rider......... ;D ;D

So this morning, I got round to looking at the problem,

lEPHALALE039.jpg
lEPHALALE040.jpg


removed the Allen Key, hardly a mark on it...

lEPHALALE042.jpg


Now the fun, how do I get the other piece of bolt out.

lEPHALALE043.jpg


Went and bought a set of 3 hex grip drill,s they are a bit longer than normal, which I needed and the 3 cost about R45.

lEPHALALE046.jpg



Main issue  is getting the first hole nice and central... looks good

lEPHALALE045.jpg


Then insert easy out and hope!!!!!!

lEPHALALE047.jpg



Eventually we have successs...
