    Can't remember the size, but I'm 1.75m tall and weigh 74kg and it fits me perfectly. With armour, winter and water layers. Jacket used for a season, pants just 3 times so they'relike new. Cost me R6k but make me an offer. Sunninghill, Johannesburg.

    Just completed 10,000km on electric bikes.

    Generally anything you buy from a vendor is going to be terribly underpowered. The eZee kit is a 250w motor. About the same as a person can put out. I have 5500w and 6500w respectively. I don't know what's inside their batteries, but even their biggest battery is only 518wh. On my small bike i...

    Just completed 10,000km on electric bikes.

    These were the modes of transport: #1 with over 6000km is my first electric. It's a bicycle. Does 65km/h, 0-50km/h in about 3 seconds, has a range of 50km, weighs 38kg and is loads of fun offroad! Here's a video: Uphill speed run on my bike #2 with a tad under 4000km is my most recent...

    SWAMBO left the gate open last night...

    Glad you guys are happy. One of the great things about selling your bike to another dog is that you still get to see the adventures it goes on.

    2005 Yamaha TW200 - sold

    Hehe, slightly off topic, but let's see. It weighs about 38kg, add a rider of 75 and you get to 113kg. Now it has over 6 horse power available, and virtually no drag. Another big plus with electric is the torque. That little bike has over 120Nm of torque at 0 rpm. This is higher than a 1200gs...

    2005 Yamaha TW200 - sold

    The time has come to sell my fantastic little TW. We've had a lot of fun together, been to interesting places, and had some fantastic rides. I love this bike, it's like a friendly little dog, so I feel bad about not taking it out to play as often as I used to. The reason for that is that I've...

    Anyone know where I can find a machine shop?

    Need to have some strengthening arms attached to my bicycle which must be strong and fit quite precisely. Anyone know where I can find a decent machine shop to do that? Close to sandton if possible. Thanks.

    Like my new brake lights?

    So following on from my flashing LED auxiliary headlights which seemed to work really well (https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=30064) I've added the same to the rear of my bike, in red this time. Again I used a 3 position switch, this time I've ignored the alternate flashing and...

    My solution to be more visible on the road.

    Ok so I've had the lights on for about 2 weeks now and this is what I've found: 1) With the lights set to alternate flashing everyone thinks I'm the police so I've stopped using that setting altogether and only use the simultaneous flashing. 2) During the day I see people staring at me at...

    My solution to be more visible on the road.

    Does that mean headlight modulators are also illegal in sa? In the states they're allowed as long as they're not used at night. I was using the simultaneous flashing last night on the bike. At night you stand out like a sore thumb with 44 flashing LEDs being projected forward. If people don't...

    My solution to be more visible on the road.

    Ok After testing them for a while yesterday I definitely noticed a lot more people seeing me. I also had two people ask me if they were police lights. Not the type of attention I wanted. Seeing a couple of police cars on the road made me feel very conspicuous. Anyway, I got myself a three...

    My solution to be more visible on the road.

      I've had a couple of cars turn in front of me while on my bike, and a few more pull out of intersections in front of me. Fortunately I've been able to avoid them so far. You'd think a big bright headlight would get you seen, but it's almost invisible to the other cars. I bought these lights...
