I'm also passed by this oke travelling the opposite direction. Past Leeukop prison towards Main / Witkoppen this oke comes from the front riding like a maniac.

Yummie Xt660X with twin Ackrapovics - awesome sound. Would love a bike like that to commute to the office

OK. Here's a BM as well. :roll:

Said it back then and saying it now. It doesn't look right. :?

The Katoom and DRZ looks the business. Maybe the X650 Motard .

I'm in the process of "motarding" my Honda crf 450X. Fitting Aprilla ally rims, short front mudguard and new front disc and caliper. It's fitted with a Leo Vince pipe without baffles. It's going to be a mean run a round bike if it all works out!

The Terreblanches are better with bikes than with white horses at least

My mate Toecutter's brand new Husqvarna 610.

TC bought a motard kit comprising of the wheels and the tires, so he can use the bike for dirt riding with the knobbies on...or convert it to a motard with the second set of wheels and road tires.
He's loving it.
Before anyone asks that is a special tool-kit bag that straps securely to your front mudguard.
This pic was taken last week when TC rode 800 kms in one day from Sydney up to Coffs Harbour for a huge bike rally.
This is the New England countryside along the aptly named Thunderbolts Way.

What a nice guy, I got to meet Pierre at the Eicma bike show last year and even though he was clearly busy he took the time to talk to me, discuss the bikes and recomend where i should visit and stay while in Italy.
