So is this the insurance replacement?
So the new wheels arrived yesterday afternoon. Very pleased with the overall package that the BMW has on offer.
Also switched over to full time motorcycling
[Side note, the Suzi repairs totaled more than 55% of the bike's value and certain shops forgot to diagnose the gearbox issue as well (claiming the bike not shifting was due to the chain and sprocket being slightly worn)]
+ VAT.
If only insurance was gullible enough to trade a Suzuki 650 for a BMW R1200GSA...
Nice dude! Many safe miles. And hopefully this time if someone decides to take a go at you, you can fuck up their entire car with your tank of a bike.

Better never come to that, really enjoying this bike...

Pretty much sums it up regardless of the weather:
Not me, especially at 5 30 in the morning. Im on a black harley with red wheels and white wall tyres. Im by the kfc on tana road. From here I can hear bikes and car racing on VD Byl late at night.
Had a Triumph Street Triple revving the kak out of the bike this morning on Leslie, then onto William Nicol. About 7:30.
VD Bijl has become a racetrack! Had some twatwaffle in a GTi lose it going down the road last year, rolled & landed up on his roof sliding against the ARMCO. Dom doos took out 3 other cars with his stupidity. Paramedics & rescue were busy with the scene for nearly 3 hours. He landed right behind our wall, when I went to look the next morning in daylight there were empty Black Label quart bottles and a Johnny Red bottle lying in the debris. I'm sure insurance were told "I swerved for a dog/cat", not "I was poesdronk and driving way beyond my ability"!
I had one of those for a good long while. Damn good engine. Does surprisingly well on a casual track day.
Congrats man! That blue looks great. Just a small headsup, just check the year of manufacture on those tires for peace of mind.
Ah, you haven't lived if you haven't ridden a bike by pulling a throttle cable by the hair. 😆I had one of those for a good long while. Damn good engine. Does surprisingly well on a casual track day.
I rode with a snapped throttle cable once as well and had to jam my hand into the side to physically pull the accelerator cable... Good ol memories.
In high school a mate had a little yellow bike of some description. We called it the Chicken.
10/10 would ride again.
Of course
a Good wash and she will be leka! THats the 650 right? lekker man! When we going for a ride?
Yep, it's an 05 SV650s. There are one or two things that I want to do but it's running great. Definitely drop me a message if you're going for a ride some time!
Can personally recommend either Pirelli or Continental. (Given I ride a 1200GSA, so not going to recommend a specific tyre, but rather brand and where).
I second this. If you stick with decent brands you will be fine @BlackmistZA .
Yeah I have. Had them on the as well S1k and ran a set through on my Panigale. Definitely a better tire, but didn't wear as long. For street riding the Angel GT was enough to fuck around and hoon with the naked. I ruined a pair of riding jeans on an offramp with the Angels.
