    WINTER GLOVE REVIEW

    Don't think they available here , as they expensive , start from about R1700 up to about R6000.00 . I was looking at a pair of KTM branded ALIPNE STAR winter gloves , they had a separate thermal liner glove , price was 4650.00 . Still thinking but just cant get myself to place the order .

Watched a tyre video and the presenter explained...

    THE BIG QUESTIONS ALWAYS ASKED

    The big question that is always asked relates to either OIL or Tyres , and I think its because oil keeps the engine in good condition , cuts expenses so to speak if you are diligent in checking the oil level , using top grade oil and not checking has no benefit .
