Well done. Hoop jou enkel raak gou gesond na die laaste Twee spoor insident.  :eek7:

Great reading this splendid RR. All respect, Ri, for coming up with a solution and sticking to your plan.  Most impressed, indeed.

Nee ek het maar net vroeg grys geraak :lol8:

Dankie! Hoop om betyds van die krukke af te wees vir die Thumper Bash in Augustus  :ricky:

How did you get the bike back – did you do a more permanent fix, or is it still on the farm?

 

[Ri]

Pleasure  :biggrin:

Permanent fix, due to happy confluence of circumstances (or in my parlance, God's grace ;D). 

The farm visit was a stop on the way to Loxton to join Hardy de Kock's Specialised Adventures Kaokoland tour.

1. Hardy very generously fetched Hooligan and I from the farm a day early and arranged for a replacement fat bar, and he and Chantal installed it, and he generally unbent and fixed the bike.
2. P.K. was also joining the Kaololand tour and drove up from George; he bought and brought along the new handlebar.
3. A bike trailer I'd bought a while ago that was standing in Bloemfontein, got a lift to the farm a week or so before my visit.
4. My sister had to visit Cape Town while I was away. She got a lift down, and drove my car with tow bar back to the farm.
5. When we arrived back in Loxton after Kaokoland, my fibula now broken, my brother-in-law fetched me with my car and trailer, and Gary and Janco loaded the Hooligan up directly.
6. Two days later I slowly moseyed back to Cape Town, very grateful that I didn't have to touch the clutch or accelerator much, thanks to cruise control.

I am glad you got sorted.  :thumleft:

Well yeah but I'm not going to say it
In the meantime I'd rather fall than drop my tyre pressure - at least I can pick up the bike when I fall  :imaposer:

 

[eberhard]

With that attitude with which you approached and solved the handle bar situation, you WILL manage. I guarantee you that. or I'll eat my helmet hat

Meer "embarrassing" maar minder skade  :imaposer:

'n Paar dae voor ek gery het, het ek 'n nuwe agterband laat opsit, en nooit gedink om te kyk wat die banddruk is nie. Ek het later gesien dit was meer as 2 bar voor en agter

Het jy gekyk dat jou agteras presies gecentre is, maw dat hy aan albei kante op presies deiselfde merkie sit? Dalk was die as effens skeef, so die agterwiel wou aanmekaar "uitstep"? Dit lei tot "snaking"

Dankie vir 'n great RR. Jou keuse van woorde laat my as Afrikaner wonder oor my gebruik van ons taal.  Voorwaar 'n voorbeeld van suiwer, kleurvolle afrikaans wat lekker lees.

Nie baie mense sal doen wat jy gedoen het na die val nie.  :thumleft:

RESPECT  :ricky:

 

[Odd Dog]

Yo!  Ri only saw this now, well done. Seems like you been getting a crash course in "vasbyt" lately.

For sure - and it still continues :boxing: :violent1: :help:

That which does not kill you, causes you 6 weeks of pain and inconvenience  :lol8:

Daardie selfde agterband het, nadat ek die banddruk verlaag het, sonder enige verdere verstellings of probleme die hele Kaokoland deur gery ... met 'n ander ridder, nadat die Hooligan my in 'n bos afgeskud het :imaposer:

Dankie vir die komplimente oor my vasbyt, en my taalgebruik. Ek verkneukel my aan lekker woorde en akkurate (en amusante) woordprentjies :biggrin:
