Bikers!?

So papers for my new 2nd hand bike is going through.
Just waiting on roadworthy check which will happen Saturday for everything to be finalised.
Went with a 2013 Aprilia RSV4 APRC ABS Factory :D
Absolutely stunning looking bike

NOICE!

Pics!
 
Been looking at the SV650. Suzuki Toy Store in Centurion is running a special currently for R89k. Am slightly confused tho - unsure what the difference between the SV650A and SV650AL is. 🤔 Apparently in Australia there is a learner tuned version where the power is dropped slightly - so am slightly paranoid. Waiting for a response from them.

Ended up getting a T100 Spirit. I'm in love.
 
Some great razing at iDube in KZN!

Hold Up!

They allow bikes on that track? How did you hear about the event?
 
Oofed a bit in the race this Saturday.
A bit too hard on the front brakes just a tad off of the racing line.

So finally got my bike back up and running again after losing the plot thanks to a flat rear wheel.
Heres 2 pics taken earlier along with 1 a friend photoshopped for me.

Now she just needs a good and proper wash.

Question, is it a must on these bikes to use a MX helmet or can you go full helmet and if not why use MX helmet vs full?
MX helmet is not a must. most guys use normal full faced helmets.

I just prefer the MX helmet to get more fresh air. Remember you are not going SO fast that air is getting forced through a full face helmet consistently.
I practiced with a Full Face helmet last week and I felt like I struggled to breath deeply and evenly ( might be due to my screwed up nose as well ). My brother on the other hand switched from MX to full face helmet recently.

Reason I ask is I hate the goggles with the MX helmet, but I dont have a choice if I dont want dust in my eyes. Ek doen net grond.

Air flow on full face makes sense.
 
Grond pad al die pad? ;)
Jy het nog nie grondpad gedoen tot jy grondpad op n Aprilia met track tires op gedoen het nie.
Also I would definitely not recommend doing this at all. Suspension on a RSV4 is not meant for this kind of torture

So when are we getting pics of that beast on the track with some knee down action?
 
Wow that is strange. Would not have thought that is the case at all :p
I still blame google maps for this.
It decided the shortest route between Kimberley and Vanderbijlpark is over 2 stretches of off road between farms...

Once I get my license for this.
Also need alot more seat time on the Ape before I attempt to even go to the track.
Only got her in June of which she spent 2 months waiting for me to get back from Gauteng
 
Btw who did this? It is amazing! Would love to get one of my track pics edited like this
It's a friend of mine. he was bored at work or so he says.
Will drop you his number so you can give him a shout

License for this? Don't have bike license?
 
The easiest thing to do ever!
Just a mission now with the new booking system
It was always a case of 'why'.
I can legally ride anything with a learners, and nobody is stupid enough to ride pillion with me so that sorts that out.

But then when I got used to my zx6r I had I wanted to start doing track days, and before I could get my license I ended up wrecking her in April this year, then got shipped off to Gauteng till last week Friday at which point I finally came back to Cpt again, and with my learners expiring end of November I am kind of s.o.l in terms of booking license before then
