    Biking culture in SA

    Once again I share your view. But the adventure rider category is a whole research project (I don't necessarily agree with your implied view what research is). I have been researching this phenomenon since 2004, but my latest field data is from 2007, when I became ill with cancer. Since then I...

    Biking culture in SA

    Thanks,  roxenz. Katastrofiese is indeed correct. Afrikaans rusted since I had to switch to lecturing in English 14 years ago, but it is still no excuse. Gelukkig is die artikel darem nie 'n katastrofe nie. ;)

    Biking culture in SA

    Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance is a classic and Persig's only great book. Read it in my student years, and again in 2006 while in hospital (was battling cancer even then). Have you read Hunter Thomson's book about the Hells Angels? Has fallen from grace a little, accusations of...

    Skipped the Tsitsikamma toll gate last year, siren was set off and officials gave chase. Unfortunately their Bantam bakkie could not catch my 1200GS. Wife the moer in for me. See they have now extended the booms so a bike can't slip past.

    HPN's at the Steynsburg Funduro 2011

    Pragtige foto's! Het in daardie wereld grootgeword en leer bike ry op 'n Honda 150 "apteekfiets" wat ek uit scrap gebou het. Onthou nog die ketting is met 'n 6" spyker gelas (darem kort gesny en mooi omgeklink). Ryperd

    Elandsrivier deja vu

    Hi Also came short in the mud on Elandsrivier route in 2005, but we had managed to cross the berg from the rocklands side. Will upload a photo as soon as somebody tells me how? Bakkie in the picture (local people) was stuck and had to be removed the next day in spite of us us pitching in to...

    Watty finally lost his long battle with cancer, but he never lost his fighting spirit and remained positive till the very last. Mooi loop, Watty my ou varsity maat. Denise en die kinders, ek dink aan julle. Ryperd
