    Wanted - Can-am spyderco

    Not a spyderco, but looks better IMO.... it's been on Gumtree for a while now, so owner should be open to negotiation.  Looks like a fun thing to own, but only if you have a garage that looks like a stable; resale market must surely be tricky...

    Ever been disappointed with a high end product ?

    Unfortunately lots of Alpinestar fakes, especially on Gumtree from guys in Cape Town Southern suburbs who are "upgrading" or selling "in almost new condition due to buying the wrong size"  :rolleyes:

    We are invisible?

    See a bike with pillion almost every morning on the N1 around Century City. Fitted  2 x LED white lights either side of head light that strobe at about the same frequency as police lights.  Interesting effect as the warm white spectrum of the headlights has the effect of making the white LED's...

    Farewell Tracey

    Shucks Jurgen, I have not seen you for so long... I was convinced Tracey's cancer would go into remission  :'(  What a shock, I'm so so sorry for your loss.  Words fail me... so for what little comfort it may bring you now, I'll quote the same author “You - you alone will have the stars as no...

    It could be dangerous in places other than SA

    Also perception maybe. Maybe you were mixed up with the wrong people? Wrong place wrong time in any country could be the same result. +1... my girlfriend moved from Cape Town to Scotland recently, so donated a TV & load of small appliances, furniture, etc. to her cleaning lady.  I was the...

    BIKER DOWN PAARDEN EILAND

    RIP rider.  Always sad to read about these.  The comments about giving trucks a wide berth is valid, but who can truly claim never to have lane split between two trucks, esp. during slow moving morning traffic on the N1.  Always scary to pass them by...

    Heavy vs light bike and wind/ approaching trucks

    I'm with you 100%.  Have plenty of experience commuting from Northern suburbs into Cape Town in summer when the SE wind is rukking & plukking.  Man, a proper blustery Southeaster feels exactly like the buffeting from a passing truck - unpredictable and somewhat unexpected. The 250cc Honda...

    Rusty spokes

    Yep, scrunch up a ball of tin foil (shiny side on outside), get some Autosol polish and get to work doing the elbow grease thing.

    yes or no for a future on a bike

    +1  only 2 types of bikers - those who have had an off and those who still have to have an off... In the last 5 years I've been lucky 3 times - once bumped off the bike by a car on purpose & mugged at knifepoint; one VERY near miss with a truck 10km after a brake replacement when it turned out...

    Who are the sidecar riders... Hope this is not one of the Dogs...

    :eek:  Eish!  luckily he was not riding alone... imagine going farming like that in a full stand of sugarcane... they'll only discover you the following summer... Glad to know he is sort of ok, must've been quite a scary trip

    Vintage motorcycle boots auction

    Size UK 6-6.5 leather motorcycle boots made by Rivetts of London in the early 70's.  Known for leather motorcycle apparel from the 50's to early 70's, Rivetts does no longer exist.  The boots belonged to my dad's cousin, who had a friend bring it out from London in 1972, but he sold his...
