Wie van julle ry nog iets anders behalwe DS bikes
« on: December 30, 2011, 05:58:07 pm »
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.

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.

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

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.

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.
