When I watch these clips it's like I'm right back there. Many of the places I still recognise and know what's coming next. Miss my Sunday mornings with the Quarriors immensely.
I only rode with you a few times but each was thoroughly enjoyable.
May you have a seamless adjustment to your new surroundings and I know you will make a new set of bike friends in no time at all.
Thor Blitz are great commuters. Like pretty solid ADV boots up to just over the ankle. Easy to walk in and small enough to pack into the topbox when I arrive at a client.
I hit a trio of holes at about 40km/h on one of our Quarry tracks rides in Parklands. I was being followed by Katana and Crossed-up at the time.
About 3m square and about 1m deep. Made the frst two somehow but the last one caught me and down I went. Was lucky to walk away with bruises and a...
My old man had both. I rode the 1.1 and often took my mates around on the back. To this day one of my friend recounts the one time I took him on the Turbo.... weird bike to ride but when those lcds lit up and that turbo kicked in.... yeeehaah! I can imagine it's like a 500 two stroke when it...
I put a BP into my 390 Duke. Beforehand I used to have ride the thing keeping the revs above 4500rpm to stop it from lurching. Now I can shift up and ride along at lower revs with very little jerkiness.
It's made the throttle response more spritely at lower revs and it feels as if it...
Only thiing is the bend is different so you'll need to get it welded. Scorch/Beserker did mine and it really was a pro job. All ini about R500 for the can and R200 for the welding.
Look out for people selling '17 or later Duke 390 end cans. They replace them with Acros or similar and sell the original. Ii picked a brand new one up for under R1k.
I replaced my old XLR250's can with that and it sounds and looks the business. Asked Crossed-up - the current owner what he thinks.
There's a company in New Zealand that offers free car and campervan rental. They need to move these vehicles around the islands between centres (mostly airports) so you apply and get to choose a mode of transport from one city to another for free. Includes insurance in most cases but excludes...
A less impressive WTF. When I was in Chicago in the States for a few months.
Went out to a large festive bar with a good few work colleagues that had become mates. Everyone bought a round each through the night. My turn came around 01h50 so I duly go off to the bar and order about $60 of...
Yes, that was the other thing. Getting a BLACK figurehead with enough guts to lead such an organisation who was willing to put their life on the line. Guess that's why nothing of the sort has been done yet, although I'm sure many a passenger has thought of standing up to the thugs.
Story of...
I was a people manager back in the late 90's and all my staff (around 30 people) would travel to work by taxi, At least half of them would be late each day, and the stories they would tell me of the condition of the driver / taxi and the bad driving would set my teeth on edge.
I suggested to...
