Think Bike!!!

[Rateltaai]

I was wondering how many bikers we have in the clan. I myself ride quite regularly (on a R1 lately).

Just yesterday I was nearly wiped out by an old Auntie - not because she wanted to (I hope!!) but because she is not aware of what is going on around her.

Please read www.thinkbike.co.za and become aware, you might just save someone's life!

Remember in real life we don't respawn in 10 seconds...

RT;)

I used to ride when I was a teenager. I miss it - would love to get a bike again.

EDIT: Nice link that.

[Rateltaai]

Definately the most fun I have had with my clothes on!!!!!!

maybe add another option that I dont move for rude bikers who zig zag on the roads?

coz of late i have seen too much of that on JHB's highways... a few bad apples give a bad name to the whole tree. :rolleyes:

[Darnit696]

Im selling my Honda CB650C at the mo. Dont ride anymore not since the boy was born. Drusky still rides tho.

[rainy]

I never got the bike license. It's a bit of a bitch to get in Germany, not to mention the cost... But I never craved it either. I am more comfy in a car ;)

From the website:

"LANE SPLITTING IS LEGAL
Have you ever seen motorcycles riding between the cars on a highway, feeding through traffic jams? As long as this is done responsibly, it is COMPLETELY LEGAL, and even encouraged by traffic authorities. Motorcycles can filter through stationary traffic, and thus do not add to congestion on our roads. Blocking the path of a filtering motorcycle is ILLEGAL, and very dangerous.

Of course, this is not to say that it is legal or even wise for a motorcycle to move through stationary traffic at high speed

The same holds at traffic lights. A courteous driver will never try to deliberately block a motorcyclist’s path. Please let us through, we'll be gone before you know it."

"...Motorcycles can filter through stationary traffic..."



that part is HARDLY adhered to on the roads.

[Rateltaai]

I'm not sure what you mean Useless?????

[sss]

i want to get a R6.... should i... shouldnt i ... i always liked them.. but maybe the new 636

[Rateltaai]

Definately the new R6!! Wife wants one too.

RT

[Ruslan74]

@Rateltaai - what i meant was that at times traffic doesnt have to be stationary for bikers to zig zag through.

To be honest i have only seen two periodic bikers do this on a constant basis along the routes i take. So i wont go and block the whole biking community due to two retards on the roads. ;)

[Ruslan74]

[Darnit696]

...oh boy here comes the whole playboy theme thing again. :D

[TG]

I'd really like to start riding again, but it's really too much effort to do the license.

[sss]

how much is the new R6

[stoke]

It [R6] does not look like a bike that you can cruise on comfortably.
So ... 90 000 should do it ey ?
Boo hoo ... me glances at me dismal budget ... me sighs ... :sad:

[sss]

i'll buy a bike purely for fun.... so on a sunday afternoon i can tear it up the midlands meander... etc etc...

maybe occasional bike run... and thats it

[Rateltaai]

My current bonie (and yes it does scare me a little!)

Perfect for the meander.38

[Brawler]

PS - :D I am glad to see that most of you "Think bike"!

[Drusky]

Ooooh baby I love these (cafe racer). Anyone got a 73-75 R90/6 to sell?

Gunbike is a Chinese CJ750 (old pre '38 R12 design) I would never pay money for one but there's an interesting story behind them.

I've got an 81 Honda in original everything. If any one is interested R15K, not bad for a 650cc with 40thou on the odo.
