Geen verkeer vanoggend op Nieu Bethesda nie

Jy lyk goed op die fiets Johan. Baie geluk en ek hoop jy gaan hom baie geniet.

Dankie Mnr Kobus, jou raad het my baie gehelp om te besluit. Ek dink ek het reg gekoop, in die paar kilometer wat ek hom gery het geniet ek hom baie. Veral die DCT waaroor ek nogal verbaasd is. Ek het my twyfellinge gehad.

Veels geluk met die nuwe skoeter Dorsland! Mag jy baie veilige myle hê! Dalk loop ons mekaar eendag raak daar op Abrahamskraal!!

Nou net met haar gepraat, hulle het plaas toe getrek vir die grendeltydperk en hul kinders van Pretoria is ook daar. $:-\$

Ek dink aan 'n Plan B.

Dankie Matewis. Ek het vanoggend vir Hestie gebel, wil die week probeer bietjie wegkom. Geen antwoord nie, sal later weer probeer. Ek kan nie sien dat daar 'n probleem kan wees alleen in daai huisie daar agter nie?

Baie geluk Dorsland, ek hoop jy gaan daai Honda net so baie geniet soos wat ek myne geniet!

Sien uit om saam met jou te ry Oktober!

Tip # 1: one of the annoying things is the ABS & TC settings resets itself to default if you turn the bike off ... but does not do so if you stop for a real short time and cut the engine by putting the side stand out. But then the headlight stays on so just for a real short stop.

Tip # 2: the accessory 12v plug (if you have one) only has a 10amp fuse and will not power a tyre pump for more than 60 seconds. To replace the fuse, it's behind the Right hand side front fairing ... tricky to remove so Google it first.

Tip # 3: Honda Tygerberg make a lekker anti-scratch knee pad kit for the indents on the tank. Bell hulle en vra mooi.

Dankie Jan, ek dink jy kan my naam nou maar byvoeg daar op jou beplanning.

Thanks for those tips Ian. I do have a power socket but would probably only use it for charging a phone. Or jump starting my bike if the battery was flat.

I’m definitely going to call for those tank pads. Have you got a pic of yours you could post here? I think I did see them somewhere on your bike but cannot recall which thread.

Dankie aan Hannes (XRRX) ... hy het die pads vir my gekry

Interesting. I have not seen those before, would look good if you can get them in white ...?

Did you contact Tygerberg?

Dorsland · « **Reply #70 on:** May 06, 2020, 05:57:04 pm »

Not yet, as far as I know no couriers nor Postnets are operating yet?

Dorsland · « **Reply #71 on:** May 08, 2020, 10:53:23 am »

Daai skewe handvatsels was toe net die "bar raisers" se rubber monteringspunte wat effe keef was. Als nou weer doodreg.

Ook Sommer my Enduristan gereedskapsakkie agter gemonteer en my Givi tenksakkie. More ry ek bietjie Karoogrondpaaie met hom.

Daai fiets is darem maar fotogenies, wens ek was nou daar om saam met jou more te loop stof maak!!

Dorsland · « **Reply #73 on:** May 08, 2020, 11:00:56 am »

Dit sou nou baie lekker gewees het Chris, jy weet jy is altyd welkom né. Dan sou ek 'n paar tjoppies ook ingepak het, braai langs die pad vir 2 kan mos net gaaf wees of hoe?

Baie geluk met die Twin. Vreugdevolle, veilige myle!!

Dorsland · « **Reply #75 on:** May 08, 2020, 12:01:04 pm »

Dankie Rex, more is eintlik sy nooiensvaart. 'n Stadige ontbyt trippie met my vrou tel nie eintlik nie

Probeer bietjie hierdie skerm. Jy kan die boonste gedeelte afhaal as jy wil - dan is hy steeds groter as die OEM skerm, maar die kombinasie haal al die wind van jou skouers en helmet af.

Baie geluk met die nuwe wiele. Mag jy die Karoo paaie vol ry met 'n groot smile op jou gesig

Dorsland · « **Reply #78 on:** May 08, 2020, 02:53:00 pm »

Dankie JMOL, ek glo hy gaan die Karoopaaie baie lekker ry. More begin hy met sy eerste een.

Dorsland · « **Reply #79 on:** May 08, 2020, 02:53:48 pm »

Dankie @Jacobsroodt , ek het die hoër skerm vir hom maar hy belemmer my sig van die grondpad. Op teer is hy baie lekker.
