    Selling a bike privately, potential buyers want to test-ride it, how to??

    I am one of those that refuses joy-rides. You can eyeball it, start it, rev it, make love to it, but those wheels do not leave my yard, until it is paid for. The risk is too high of people damaging it or stealing it. My personal PoV is that you will call me because it is the bike you have been...

    Open or closed visor

    My visor is always closed. The helmet has vents. Always wear long pants. I learned my lesson by riding in shorts.

    Cape Town: she attempted to run over a biker, boasts about it.

    We should take up on that haircut offer. We should go, and pay for it, like normal people. Show people that bikers are (mostly) normal people.

    Cape Town: she attempted to run over a biker, boasts about it.

    I think the problem is that many people still view bikers as stereotype - the low-life scum they get portrayed as by a certain country's movies and series. They do not realize that it is just a certain sub-culture that does not even really exist. On top of that we have serious transport...

    BMW man val homself moeg

    The video was just painful. Too many people buy bikes that match their egos, and not their skills. And in some cases like the guy in the video, they should be on 4 wheels and never on 2.

    a Harley with a ...Bash Plate!

    Still are. I think it is mostly fear that prevents people from going off tar. Most bikes can handle dirt roads with no issues. With modern bikes and their modern electronics (ABS / TC) the rider's inexperience and lack of skill does not matter that much anymore.

    LANE SPLITTING

    You have to travel at a safe speed relative to the traffic and traffic conditions. The actual speeds are not really relevant - it is your reaction time and your emergency braking performance that matters. At some point that cage will change lanes without looking or indicating. Over time you will...

    Where To? In Cape Town

    Done the ride on Sun (06 Nov) to Hermanus. From Somerset West to Hermanus using the R44 and R43 - absolutely breathtaking beautiful scenery. The section between Kleinmond and Hermanus not much to see, it is very built-up and "commerce-colonialism". Speed limits generally 60-80 (yawn). Hermanus...

    Where To? In Cape Town

    I recently (1 Oct) moved to Somerset West, back in SA for a while from very far away. I do not know the CT area, only been to it on a few business trips in the past. The 2nd important piece of info is that I do not ride DS (or much offroad anymore, blame a cracked hip and a missing foot tendon)...

    Why I'll NEVER rent from Motorrad Executive Rentals-Johannesburg again

    A bit of a necro ... but this looks like a whole lot of misunderstanding about authorization holds. To the customer it will look like a charge, and the amount will be deducted from available funds (so you can't use it). But the money does not get transferred to the holder (rental co) until the...

    Gear Sellout

    Apologies to the people who feel I have somehow not done right by them. I tried my best to do things fairly. Please note I did not take anybody's money and not delivered the items, as the above complaints might indicate. Thanks to the guys who came and did business with me. Hopefully they felt...

    Gear Sellout

    Please, I am trying to be as fair as possible with all sales. The item in question was actually sold to the person with 1st option to it. He was supposed to collect yesterday, but could not make it. I then agreed with 2nd option buyer to collect. Meanwhile 1st option person collected the item. I...

    Gear Sellout

    Apologies, but I have no guarantees that you would arrive to collect. If the item was paid for upfront I would not scam and sell it. If someone arrives and has the cash in his hands I am going to sell the item, not turn them away for someone else that might not come. I did send you an SMS to...

    Kempton. I do not know about a KTM, I have only used it as a tank bag once on a GSA. Fully expanded it would best be on the back.
