:rollsmile: hey Nick that first part was wide man, U have to try that over here in the UK, Im in South London (Croydon roads are soooo much narrower) and the traffic is busy here man but the drivers are so curtious and let you through everywhere.

you going to upset some of the Cage drivers here by driving up the emergency lane. :crazylaugh: Ive had a few guys go for me as Ive ridden past them like that

Just keep safe out there mate :coolShake:

Interesting , more and more people are jumping on bikes because of traffic and fuel , how long would the same journey have taken if you were in a car ?

 

[Nick]

bike from sandton to mondeor ( that faaar south )
40mins

Car, same route 2:30 hours.

 

[GGM]

2:30h to travel 23km , :skit:

 

[Nick]

Hence why i train everyday after work.
Only get home at 8pm even night

 

[m0lt3n]

sooo....when are you treating that triple with an Akropovic, Leo Vince or Remus? I would vote Remus :rollsmile:

those triumps realy are beautiful.
And I also dont understand why more people are not commuting with a bike, I would go nuts in traffic like that.

 

[Nick]

She has a Leo Vince SBK on her already

The mic setup doesnt pick it up very well.

Just had to post mine after listening to yours.

 

[Nick]

:inlove: you have no idea how much i want to ride the 1200 :inlove:

 

[Malicezn]

:inlove: you have no idea how much i want to ride the 1200 :inlove:

Then definitely ride one. And make sure you're ready to part with your hard earned cash Also understand that it is nowhere near as capable as your 800 off-road.

Beeeatch be HEAVY :biglol:

Still, wouldn't part with it. :coolShake:

 

[Nick]

Yea, the 800 is not to bad off road.
One problem with the peach of an engine is that it breaks traction and spins like a crazy thing.

Fun AF tho.

Ill try make an off-road vid soon.

Very courteous of you to thank people who give you space, have still not seen one biker in SA do this when I move over for them. You must be the only exception to the rule.

But it seems like they left the indicators off your bike........... I never saw you use them once.

 

[Nick]

lots to do in traffic bro, i forget sometimes.

I thank everyone that gives me a gap

 

[Nick]

Thanks for all the views guys.

 

[Luigi_S]

Good on you, well done. A little more of that sort of courtesy on the roads and we'd all be much better off.

I dont expect bikes to use indicators in traffic like that. They are moving so much faster than any traffic around them that by the time you've seen the first blink they've passed you already anyways. Its only when bikes make use of the full lane like a car, then its nice if they show when they want to overtake and turn etc.

 

[Nick]

Agree!

 

[m0lt3n]

Damn guys the Triumphs really look good! raise:

Its the GS trophy qualifiers this weekend, I am really looking forward to some time on the bike but I did a pretty serious stuffup on the practicality side. I have to ride 500km to there, have a grueling skills challenge, and then 500km back in one day. I have no intention of doing good, just want to see where I am. Will probably be on the road before 4am and back home after dark as well, hopefully the weather is cleared up by then.

So, really nice to see some duallies amongst the cars, I hope they see a lot of gravel as well :=):


:clapper: from me as well for thanking cagers that move over. It gets bikers some much needed browney points.

 

[Nick]

That mileage on a GS should be an easy ride.

My bike sees the dirt now and again.

I even went MX biking with it once :biglol:
