I have a house in a complex in Plett, and often ride my 950 to Plett and park it outside the door of the unit. The rules of the complex state "no bikes allowed" Last night this dude comes to my front door, says he's the manager, and tells me my bike isn't allowed in the complex. I assume the rule is to keep plastics and 4 wheelers out. Fair enough.

Here's a rough outline of the convo which ensued:

Manager: I'm the manager. Is that YOUR bike? Because no bikes are allowe din the complex!  (no introduction, and belittling tone)

Me: But this isn't a dirt bike, and it's my mode of transport. It's a thousand cc's!

Manager: I'm sorry, but no bikes allowed!

Me: I own this place, pay levies and have a right to arrive here on my bike. As I said, it's not a dirt bike.

Manager: Are you sure - it looks like a dirt bike.

Me: No - it's a road bike. Err...actually it’s a dual purpose bike.

Manager: What’s that?

Me: It can go anywhere – roads and dirt

Manager: So it IS a dirt bike?

Me: No. It’s a dual purpose bike.

Manager: OK – is it loud?

Me: Very

Manager: Well as long as you don’t become a nuisance!

Me: I won’t.

Manager walks off.

Firstly WTF. I felt like a kid being hauled in front of the headmaster. As usual, I was like a rabbit in the headlights and couldn’t respond properly (with indignation)

Secondly: Is a 950 a dirt bike?
