The Hooligan part was said tongue in cheek and was more for reference regarding to the no number plate section. I think 10000 bikers (a number I sucked from my thumb) not paying and clogging up the highways will cost them. Further to this we can continue to ride sans numberplates in civil...

I've finally got my first DS bike. I hope to get her in tip top shape over the Dec break. She has most of her bits, except the head. I know I've taken on a lot here, but I'm planning on a full restoration to origional spec. If anyone has a manual lying under a pile of mags in the garage please...

We bikers are pretty good at standing for a cause. So I'm sure we can get a large group of "Hooligan" Bikers to gather at 6am on a weekday morning and take a leisurely 40-60kn/h ride around the highway system with not a plate to be seen anywhere. Heck! We can collect R50 from each biker and give...

I am also a paid up member of TB and still believe in the message. I was a committee member last year and so saw 1st hand how difficult the job is and the personal sacrifices needed. However, when I see how people who just want straight answers get insulted, then I see the message getting...

A few of us were on the Rondebult rd bridge over the N12 and even though there are hectic roadworks many of the bikers gave us a wave, even a dude on a blue and white 650 dakar with paw prints on the screen. :thumleft: By our count this morning, non scientific the most waves % by bike in an...

The bike was a dealership return to Honda SA, and the current owner bought it from them at a good price in 2008 He hardly uses it as he has two other bikes, Blade & VFR800, hence the sale

Hi all! Long time no post. I can get my hands on a 2006 650 Transalp for what I think is a good price; R37k. It was first registered in 2008 and has 11000km on the clock. I'll be selling my trusty VFR750 to buy the bike, but before I do: Any opinions. I like the apparent balance it has between...

Many years ago took my boney to a small bike shop in Kempton, phoned regularly and got same answer, "still busy, waiting for parts". After 6 months he moved from the shop to his house, still same answer, finally decided to go fetch bike, got there and the house was empty. Neighbour told me that...

Saw the burnt orange (not official BMW colour name, but don't care) at Auto Alpina last week, very nice. We'll have to relook at the above comment at the end of sooperbike season, as well as after shootouts when the new BMW sooperbike is released, for now I reserve judgement :pot:

You pay your installment on time every month so demand an answer from the top man, you should be able to get his contact details off the web. I've heard a work colleague use this approach on the phone many times with great results, where as my patient understanding results in slow responses...

I think this hypothetical will just be perfect to test the BMW 800 GS, because I'm sure many of the other DS bikes have already been tested in this regard with different degrees of success, even with similar makes and models. I'd be interested to see the opinion of other dogs

RIP and condolences to the family. I say that if the taxi driver is guilty then make him work community service for the fire station clean up team, and he has to get there on a 35cc scooter.

88K that's bloody ridiculous! :o Let's not forget all the other stuff they going to phone and tell you about once you (insurance) gives the go ahead :'( The rates to repair bikes (and cars) pee me off, but that has all been discussed before. Hope your heart took the news without too much strain...

BUMP Just spoke to Aquatic and his bikes still available, if it's a good price, which seems to be the consensus, then someone buy it. I have ridden the bike and it is one awsome ride, and the noise from the zorst is hooligan inspiring (Well as hooligan as one can get on a Dakar). Someone must...

If anyone does get this *************'s (You choose expletive) number plate, please post it, it may just save a few lives

I have it from a reliable source that there will be no GS Challenge this year due budgetary cuts at BMW, don't know more than that

Strongly agree to most of the above. Not 20 mins ago I checked a delivery guy on a CB250 in Galoolies interchange, poor oke had thin trousers, slip on shoes, 2 micron thick "jacket" and a helmet made in 1605. The bike was brand new though. FAGMTT (F#@k All Gear Most The Time) seems to be the...

Mullet! A hot missus like that and the tottie head is trying to kill himself.

Ideal for that d@@$ in the cage who pulls in front of you on purpose, just cause he's stuck in traffic.
