My bike has been standing for a week now, and it was die most depressing week of my life :D !
Yearly maintenance and cleaning was the order of the day, and the reason for the long wait, but . . . this morning Fidel's guys dropped of my new sprocket(Thanks!) and I quickly put the bike back together.

Ah it felt great finally getting on the bike again!

The new raisers made a HUGE difference, my standing position has improved dramatically, and the sprocket,having went up 3teeth, meant I had greater acceleration. On soft ground the bike spins the rear wheel up till 3rd gear.

I took Plattekloof road out of Durbanville, having a nice scenic ride around the mountain and onto Zone7.

Played here the whole afternoon, had 2 minor offs, sprained me hand and slightly ripped my jacket  ;D but its all good.

Found allot of tracks, on the area opposite Z7

Nope you don't understand, I've been bikeless now since end Oct when the idiot jaywalker took me out.  I'll hear from the insurance by Wednesday next week, but the doc has instructed me to stay off till January.  Cages aint no fun. :mad:

Bikeless from 1 Aug this year.  In all 4 months had a one deom on the 700 Transalp.  (Just had to go for a ride  - unfortunately only just 20 minutes)

But sooner or later I will have lekker wheels again.  Keeping the faith.
 
Raggety it is NO JOKE being without those two wheels......even 20 mins when one has the opp gives that sense freedom

Hope to see you up n riding again....

Hang in there!!!! :biggrin:
 
Ditto! Buy ur daugter a Conti scoot and borrow it now and then ! Ha ha :imaposer:

Vasbyt julle bikeless dudes, your time will come, it allways does!
 
Nice one Etienne

Lekka to see a sign board inviting anyone who wants to go enjoy themselves - usually tells you to piss off, private property.

Bikeless since October and found myself wandering around this site far too much - usually hooked up in the trade, buy & sell section.

Strange how you gradually start steering away from the ride reports, maybe it's just a bit of jealousy

For now i'm still bikeless, but not for very much longer :thumleft:
