Enige ouens hier wat nog Superbikes, Super Tourers, HD's of iets anders ry behalwe jou DS bike. Hoe gereeld ry jy nog jou padfiets en wat het jy ?
Ek het so paar maande terug weer 'n padfiets ook aangeskaf en ek moet se ek geniet beide ewe veel. Nou om die rytyd tussen die GS en KS te verdeel - nogal 'n moeilike keuse by tye.

I ride anything, superbikes, cruisers, sport tourers, hell, I'll even ride a scooter.....but then I am pretty spoilt....ride them for a week then give them back.............. :biggrin:
There isn't a bike I will not ride....some I will ride with a VERY dark visor though....so nobody knows who I am.... :biggrin: :peepwall:

OK not a Scooter :D
I am also in the lucky position to have access to bikes. Rode Harleys for the 1st 3 weeks of December.
People who think DS biking is the be all and end all of biking is mistaken big time. ;) Limiting yourself to just one type of biking is just as shortsighted as limiting yourself to tar only.

But....I don't need as powerful a scooter as you.... :peepwall: :biggrin:
My last one was a Sym 300...not bad at all...

I once rode a Honda Silverwing and decided to photograph it next to the coffee shop at the mall. The people burst out laughing as I got off. :D You can imagine... ;D

Ja, enige 2 wiel met n 2slag in. Groot voorliefde vir padfietse.

2slag soos in 2T mix? Praat jy vsan die 350 2T hier of wat? (Skuus, jou bietjie verloor)

Vir stofpad ry ek 'n 800GS en my vrou'n 650GS.
Dan het ek 'n 1200RT wat ons gebruik vir ons lang toere.
Sy pillion.
Elke tipe ry het sy eie aantreklikheid en wat ons betref geniet ons beide
ewe veel. Die stof-bikes vat jou plekke en maak horisons oop wat jy nie kan bereik
met die RT nie. Dan weer laat die RT jou toe om duisende km in die saal te doen op
een trip wat jy nie met dieselfde gemak kan doen met 'n stof-bike nie.

I do a bit of dirt on a KDX as well but I'll ride anything and love it. Took my boets Vespa for a spin along PE's beachfront yesterday and had a jol, but that might have something to do with the prolific abundance of bird life :ricky:
Having said that and although I enjoy road bikes, I don't think I would ever buy myself another pure road bike as I don't see the point in it when the Super Tenere ticks that box as well.

vir werk toe en terug n Yamaha BWS100 scooter :thumleft:

HSK, ek is mal oor die ouer 2slag padfietse, ek word mos vertel ek het in die 70's vasgehaak. n Goeie stuk teerpad gee my dieselfde plesier as n lekker stuk grond. Inteendeel, ons het vandag Stellenbosch na Hermanus gery, oor Highlands grondpad en deur Hamilton Russel vineyards tot op die Rotary mountain drive by die uitkyk op hermanus. Ek het die teerpad oor Clarence drive meer geniet, omdat ons so n bietjie "aangestoot" het :mwink:
Vir Kamanya en Wolweseun in Hermanus gesien.

Hey julle moet nie die scooters vir 'n gat vat nie, daar het al 'n paar bikes in my garage gekom en gegaan maar die PGO 125 is nog daar. Daar is niks makliker gou winkel toe ens as die scooter nie. OK by gese die shops is nie ver van die huis af nie. Daar pas gemaklik 12 koues, brood en 'n melk onder die seat en moet nie eers praat van hoe gemaklik daai open face helmet is nie :imaposer:

Just got back from a trip to the South Coast on my R1200RT BMW...!
What a fantastic long distance tourer it proved itself to be.
Had my wife and all the luggage including a fully loaded top box and a double expanded tank bag.
1st time I have had a bike with cruise control and it made the trip so much more relaxing.
It's the new spec motor with twin cams and it's got just the right amount of power.
Van Reenens Pass uphill in 6th gear at 80km/h and it was no problem at all. Just purrs along.
Loves the twisty bits too and is not scared to hall ass...:)
Had a scare this morning when I got flagged down at 05h15 by traffic police when I was clocked at 1#% (can't put it in wrighting as they may decide to look for me) Only reason I got off was they had to give chase to a guy doing slightly more than me in a S3 Audi!!! Think he was doing just over 200 km/h.
Went through several showers wearing only my rain jacket and my jeans never even saw a drop.
Wife said the Honda ST1300 was maybe a slightly softer seat but the suspension is not even in the same class. Space was more on the ST but the pegs on the RT were more comfortable for her.
Wife says this is the first bike I have had that she has seen no signs of buffeting and that the ride is so smooth compared to all other bikes we have toured on. Varadero, Transalp, St1300, VFR800, VFR1200, GTR1400, FJR1300, Burgman 650, FJS600,
So all in all I think I am very happy with the BMW R1200 RT. that was of course until we stopped at Villiers and a chap pulled in on the GTL1600. Damn, what a bike.... On my wish list for next year for sure.
So two days in the saddle and 2100 km's later I am one very happy chappy!!
Good riding and a very good new year to all.

Ek het so 'n maand terug my suzuki 450klr aan iemand verkoop, vrleker fiets
-
Ek het 'n road bike ook en ry so 1000km met hom vir elke 5000km wat ek op die KLR doen. Ek sal graag eendag 'n Super Tenere wil hê as 'n meer praktiese replacement vir my Fazer maar die KLR sal bly vir altyd.

Ek het die R1200GS vir die stofpaaie. Vir die teer gebruik ek die Blackbird en my vrou die VFR800. In die dorp gebruik ek n scooter. Die quad is vir my en die kleinkind. Ek maak maar gebruik van battery "optimisers"
-
anything with wheels is cool - whats it they say? harpooning an ugly person is just as lekker as riding a vespa until your buddy see's you...
we got quads, WR450, the triumph 800XC, a sym 300 scoota and they are all LEKKER. boss sez no more road bikes until the lighties move out and are gainfully employed... gonna be a while but had a V-max for many years and a 'busa.
to the bloke who did the high speed run from knysna to Plett - nice piece - but head back to george and race up the outeniqua pass - it is heaven on earth...
just... lose the number plate
5 of us just got back from an 1100km trip through this area - man... we do live in a fantastic place. full story and lots of photos in dirt and trail mag next issue...

Been riding this for the last week in the sand & forrests around St Lucia
-
DrBig, is this not way too new for you? :pot: :imaposer:
Nice playing though.

I also hit the slab quite often,have a CBR1000RR for that, breakfast runs etc , use the S10 to cruize with other half, tar and dirt. I use the XR650R to play in the dirt and the YZ250F to bundu bash, A bike for each occasion, this morning played in dirt on XR, then took cruize To Port Alfred with Lee, this afternoon went and played in the mountains with YZ........ I think I use them equally as much and I ride every day

Got more roadies than DS in my garage , but my favourite for now is my Ducati 1098 :mwink: Worth every cent but only good for twisties , terrible in town but still way better than my 916 :ricky:

Just sold my DRZ 400 SM motard.Awesome bike and had loads of fun on it.Best commuter one can have(any Motard for that matter).
I also ride a 2009 HD Road King.I ride it like it is meant to be ridden,and the missus and i dig it.We got a cool bunch of friends we ride with,and we have heaps of good times.The missus enjoys it,so do nto want to discourage that at all.
She not so keen on doing the dirt bit yet,but I am working on her.... :ricky:
p.s. At work so no photies,but have posted my DRZ and HD plenty before

Honda VFR 800, did an easy 460 km ride yesterday just to get out of Joburg, Heidelburg, followed the Vaal river for a while, breakfast in Parys, then headed for the back roads to Heckpoort, Harties and home, even rode a bit of dirt but the "clearance"- what clearance is limited.......

I'll ride anything with two wheels and a motor. I still have an old Yamaha Chappy that I want to get into working condition again. Will ride that to the shops with a huge smile. Also want to try and get a dirt bike and a tourer but have to buy the wife a car this year so maybe that will happen next year

That was the bike I trained on. Yee haven't seen one of them for a long time. My first bike riding experience around 1977 :thumleft:

I have a 2012 KTM 500 EXC and a Polaris RZR 900 XP, desert toys.
990 R on it's way in a couple of days

Ek besit nog 'n 1981 oorspronklike Katana 1100. Dit is vir my die mooiste fiets ooit, maar ek start haar deesdae net as ek skuldig voel. Die GS is net soooo gemaklik. :ricky:

Dis juis die een wat ek op gery het as 'n kind. Het met Honda mini trails begin en toe ek clutch en ratte kon werk oor geskuif na die chappy toe. Die een is nou al in ons familie vir seker 30 jaar maar het vir die laaste 10+ jaar op die plaas gestaan en vrot. Een van my nuwe jaars voornemens om aan hom te begin werk die jaar :thumleft:

My oldest bike is a 1930 BSA and my newest a 2011 XR650, with some odds in between like a '78 XS1100 (my dad bought it new) and a '72 BMW R50. Must say I enjoy and can appreciate most types of bikes but will not be seen dead on a scooter, probably from my school days when they were considered girl toys and no red blooded male would be seen on one........ :biggrin:
My two favourires at the moment are my XR650 and KTM300, but for sheer power pleasure in dirt nothing comes close to 2 stroke power......... :thumleft:

Pieter is daai 'n custom paint job, want ek en die vrou het seker 'n jaar terug met 'n ou gepraat voor Full THrottle Cresta, en sy bike was dieselfde kleur, nie dalk jy nie?
Wel ek het mos my GS verkoop en nou het ek en mamma 'n RT, wat 'n awesome bike die kilometers verdwyn net voor jou.

KTM 450XCW for off road.
KTM 990R Adventure for the gravel and rough dirt roads.
BMW R1200GS for the Tar. :peepwall:

Op die oomblik behalwe die pad, err ek bedoel DS GSA, MTB en plastics, WR450 vir my CRF230 vir vrou en TT-R125 vir dogter.
Daar is ander bikes in die toekoms, nog nie seker wat nie.
Sal enige bikes ry, maar wil nie graag herken word of fotos laat neem op 'n scooter nie :imaposer:
