Bikers!?

Is AON not a reinsurer? Were you able to insure with them directly?

I think it was through Hollard yea, but I dealt with Aon directly and never had contact with Hollard, both when getting insurance and claiming

Interesting considering AON works with OUT as well. I’d chalk it down to their formulas and risk evaluation

Interesting. Was never any mention of it, but maybe it's as you say and down to other factors

My father used to say that when you buy a Japanese bike you better pick very wisely, it'll most likely live longer than you.

There are quite a few ninja models, but most are very good.

Hard to give a better answer without knowing what you're interested in.

Anyone in Durban own an Aprilia/MV Agusta? If so where are you getting them serviced? The guys from rocket racing had their computer stolen during the looting so they can't service them anymore.

Had found a beautiful RSV4 factory I had myself quite set on, bummer there is no Durban support anymore.

On another note, there are some awesome deals on MV's, have been told they are finicky, but it's whatever can't find a place to service either in Durban.

Also...holy shit why would the 2012 big bang come with 7 modes of traction control and no ABS? Seems completely random.

I guess Durban does not have any Carbonite users that ride Italian supersports. Japanese here we go.

There are quite a few ant good Kawasaki motorcycles.
You get the ninja 125, 250,300, 400, ZX6/Ninja 636, ZX10, even the 1400 was called a ninja if i'm not mistaken and one quite simply called the ninja which is a 650cc inline twin previously known as the ER6F.
Permance ranges from barely moving to 0-Wall in 3 seconds.

So need to get my learners done and finally start this adventure. Does anybody know a good place to write your learners in KZN? Have had a terrible time at the pinetown one before.

Verulam , even the drivers test demonstration for verulam testing grounds is on YouTube.

Thanks! Will check it out, trying to get it ASAP but bothers me why you have to go book in-person and come back to write. Or even why you can't book and write on the same day :/

Are you new to South Africa?

 

[Areola Grande]

Are you new to South Africa?

Just young I think.

 

[ghostbunny]

It is stupid that you have to go there in person to book and then come back again to do a learners test. Drivers is understandable.

On another note...wheelzonline, anyone know of anyone who's purchased a bike from them? Can't be too sure if it's legit.

 

[ghostR]

Are you new to South Africa?

Hell no, just annoyed still because it's still the same annoying problem as in 2012 when I went last time.

For those still thinking of getting a neck brace, just do it! It is something I was skimping on for quite some time but glad I pulled the trigger.

Why should I wear one?

Motorcycle Gear: The Neck Brace, and Why I Wear One

What the heck is that? - It's a motorcycle neck brace, a part of motorcycle safety that makes perfect sense to Eric Lange, adventure guru and longtime rider.

The story of Leatt:

The Leatt story began in 2001 when Dr. Christopher Leatt witnessed the death of a fellow motorcycle rider the weekend after his son, Matthew, began riding.

Dr Leatt began research and development of a device almost immediately, driven by a passion to protect not only his son, but all riders from the effects of catastrophic neck injuries. His first patents were filed in 2003. The revolutionary Leatt-Brace® was developed in Cape Town, South Africa and tested by BMW engineers at their facility in Munich, Germany, with first production units sold in late 2006.

It is actually amazing to think that Leatt is internationally respected by riders all over the globe not only in South Africa. What an achievement for Dr. Christopher Leatt!

If you do not mind second-hand gear, I'll highly recommend Dominic from Rider-Sports. I got my pair from him, super nice dude! Find more here: Rider Sports 2nd hand Motocross and Accessories store - Rider Sports

Happy riding. 😎

Picked up a BMW motorbike GPS in Garsfontein Pta area.
Would love to reconnect it with its owner.

PM me if you know who it may belong to. Will be asking some questions that relate to some historical visits to ensure it's the rightful owner.

I've posted this on the Wild Dogs forum as well.

Careful not to release too much info about it up front - you're going to need to have the person prove it's theirs somehow.

Thanks for this. I am not sharing anything other but a pic of the front of the unit. No serial numbers, no address' etc.

My wife has contacted Motorrad and she shared one address with them, which they'll send a driver to, to hear if they know who the owner may be.

I used to ride with one, then stopped using one entirely. For the first month or so I felt completely naked without one 😅

Please send it to me so I can confirm it is mine
