Urban Warrior and the noon gun

[topbox]

took a quick ride around the city

DeWaterkant
R3m rand postboxes for the yuppie rich  :

Some of the more traditional

Technicaly, i live in this street. It runs right across the city

The noon gun, closed on Sundays

Up the side of Signal hill

There are lots of trails

overlooking the new soccer stadium

i needed to squeeze past the side of the barrier at the top
i knew it was too tight and i was too fast
wrong gear........

2 long stripes, one was on the ground from a locked front wheel,  ;D
and dont tell me to hit the back brakes either.  :  both feet got dragged downhill  :-[

Top of signal hill

Then down Signal and up to Table Mountain
the road is still closed

never fear with the Yamaha XT600e,  when the road ends the fun begins

I contemplated it once with the Dakar, but reconsidered...

Nice Topbox....

Somehow those houses in the Bo-Kaap always make nice photos.

There are so many beautiful scenes there to photograph...........I'm sure one can produce
another 20 similar pictures within half an hour.

Dont be so sure buddy  ;D

We also went there, and the guards have radios and bakkies now to catch the illegal bikers.  : Steep fines, and if they cant catch you, they have binoculars to get your number plate details and wack you with a fine. We also went round that little diversion and had to make big friends with one of the posted guards who explained the whole situation to us...

Nice pics! Add back brakes

Very nice-thank you

Nice pics Trev,

You just bored or were you out "working" 

I used to love riding around there. Also, when you pass the cable station, ride slowly and then take one of the paths off to your left. They're walking paths, but then as I explained to the bloke, there's no signs saying no bikes either. You can ride down into the residential areas but the paths, because of the incline are quite tricky. Found the Strom loved this.

Nice Trevor... have you added the XT to your stable... I thought you were a through-and-through Honda fan

it's exactly the opposite, i've always had the XT but,
i'm being converted to the RED TEAM

I love this road you took....still trying to trip the new speed camera they installed coming down Kloofnek with the bicycle but no luck yet....once i get that right i am going to pull my pants down and 'moon' the traffic department on the way down.  ;D ;D

 

[topbox]

i'm wary of that road when cycling, it's seriously bumpy
i usually climb past the cable car and come down the side paths
