Hi all I had to retire from riding due to injury and am selling off my gear. I have: Orange and black Alpine star motocross / offroad pants Size 38 (men's L / women's XL) Worn only twice - pristine condition Shift combat offroad boots Size 9, only worn twice 1 strap missing (replacement...

I went to a Dr Smith at Milnerton, and a Dr Demblon in Claremont - mine was a pre-existing injury which flared up again after taking a tumble. It amounts to an impinged shoulder joint, tennis elbow and carpal tunnel  syndrome all rolled into one happy package  :-\ - they both reckoned there...

Thanks Alex.

sigh...been to a GP, 2 orthopaedic surgeons and about 4 months of physio - the only solution any of them has is cortisone, which only masks the problem. Don't suppose you know of anyone?

A tragedy really - I'm utterly miserable about it...my arm is completely stuffed, meaning a doctor's visit and a handful of myprodol every time I ride. The doctor's prognosis is that it will just keep getting worse if I keep riding and that even surgery promises no guarantee of making it better...

Thanks hun - and thanks to you and Ronin for getting the bike out of there  :thumleft:

Thanks! And also, a BIG thanks to the guys who helped me up when I came off, and got the bike off me - I don't remember who you are cos I was too busy concentrating on finding new swearwords and stuff. xoxo

Ankle is soundly borked (torn ligaments for sure) - nothing time, rest and a little myprodol won't fix! A bunch of the other guys (8 or 10?) headed back to town on the tar after the first stretch next to the tracks.

Nice to meet you all - lovely ride, thanks!

I'll be at the Total - that is the closest spot to Obs, I think?

Sounds good -  I'm keen - total n00b tho - what kind of roads are they?

I did the course offered by Two Wheel Africa Tours: https://twowheelafricatours.com/ - I'd certainly recommend it and will probably do it again before going out there - the instructor Sandi is lurking on this forum somewhere... She's very approachable and knowledgeable - give her a call. I can't...
