Ja ek weet en ek is jammer julle! It’s been 4 months since our last issue and I am in the process of teaching Carin the ropes with regards to the design and layout of Bike Talk which will ensure a solid issue every month. We’ve had a super amount of requests in person, by email, phone calls and SMS’s when the next issue will be which elevates the fact that Bike Talk is here to stay and be read by the masses ... well here you go!!

In this issue you’ll fi nd your local dealers offering great specials in order to move 2008 stock on their fl oors, so don’t miss out. Summer time is coming, time to pack away the heavy leathers and get out the shorts and slops when you go out riding ... WHAT!! ARE YOU NUTS?! Yeah, that’s right ... all the gear all the time!

You are considered just plain stupid and not even a real biker if you go out riding without the proper gear (Helmet, Rider Pants, Jacket, Boots and Full fi nger Gloves). Apart from God’s grace, why do you think I’m still around after my crash a few months ago? Wow! Let me get off that freight train...

Furthermore you’ll fi nd reviews on the Yamaha Roadstar Warrior, Harley-Davidson Nightster and a fi nal write-up on the Buell 1125R. A reader also shared his experience on the new BMW F650GS and I shared my thoughts on my sponsored Honda VFR800. Next month we’ll do a fuel economy shoot-out on bikes and scooters, a much requested item these days.

On the “What’s on” side of events, the Motorcycle Drag Race is on 2 Nov, see page 30-31 for more, the BIG Rhino and the equally favourite Toy Run. These are super events not to be missed, come out and show your support!!

Our Rider Academy, on the other hand, is in full swing offering courses from Learners to Experienced for Honda, Harley-Davidson, Buell, Nestle and Hungre Franchise Vendors and everyone else who wish to go about it the right way ... Get Trained and Ride with Skill and Confi dence!

Enough of this, page over and read for yourself, this is another copy of your favourite Local Biker Magazine ... GENIET DIT! GOD BLESS!

Where did it go wrong?As most motorcycle accidents (crashes) occur in the city or suburbs with passenger type vehicles, knowing how best to avoid them is a very important issue. I thought we would analyse several typical suburban-crashes and see how we could have possibly avoided them.

ANTICIPATIONYou are riding down a suburban street approaching a slow moving vehicle. The temptation is to go down a gear and accelerate around the vehicle. The driver keeps slowing down and speeding up and you feel yourself getting frustrated and your aggression takes over. You pull out to pass, as you do the vehicle turns suddenly to the right and attempts a U turn. With no time to stop or swerve, you collide with the vehicle.

Where did it go Wrong?

The fact that this vehicle was slowing down and then accelerating should have warned you that the driver was looking for something, possibly an address or a driveway. So many drivers fail to check their rear view mirrors to observe following traffi c and as a result are unaware of our presence. It is very important to keep anticipating the “what if” and keep a buffer from the vehicle waiting until you are sure before overtaking. Controlling your aggression is an important aspect of mental skills on the road.

THE CAR PULLING OUT FROM THE DRIVEWAYYou are riding along a suburban street with good vision left and right. Well ahead you see a vehicle waiting to pull out of a driveway, the car is not moving. As you approach the vehicle the driver accelerates out into your path and then brakes as he sees you. You cannot stop in time and you collide with the car.

Where did it go Wrong?

Often drivers of vehicles appear to be looking at you but often they do not perceive a moving motorcycle or are not thinking or looking for motorcycles. In most cases they may not accurately judge the speed of the motorcycle. A motorcycle rider needs to anticipate this and keep a buffer from the vehicle and also covering the brakes and being prepared to take evasive action to avoid this situation. Watching the wheels will give you an indication that the vehicle is starting to move. OVERTAKINGYou are riding down a single lane highway, the vehicle in front of you is travelling just below the speed limit and you make the decision to overtake. A short distance ahead is a T-intersection. To the right on approach to this intersection a vehicle turns left into your lane from the intersection - you are now in a collision path with this vehicle and a crash is imminent.

Where did it go wrong?

It is important that you have good clear vision through intersections. On approaching where vision is restricted it is advisable to hang back before overtaking. When a driver is turning left into a street they are more likely to be looking to their right as they turn. If you are travelling on the wrong side of the road at the approach to the intersection, a crash may be diffi cult to avoid.

REVIEW: ‘08 YAMAHA ROAD WARRIORREVIEW BY HEIN JONKEROnly a year or two back the term Performance Cruiser was totally unknown. Virtually the entire cruiser market has been geared toward looking “authentic” (old really) at the total expense of functionality. Cruisers have been, and are currently based on decades-old designs and styles, but those clever people at Yamaha couldn’t ignore the huge business of customizing cruisers, and making them go fast with some radical engine surgery.

This has brought us into the dawn of a new era in cruiser technology. Gone are those preconceptions of slow speed, can’t get round that corner, let the scooter go because it will embarrass me, and so on. Now we have a new game to play with our cruisers, it’s called ‘Hunt and annihilate the superbike!’

The engine in the Warrior is bottomless pit of power and torque. It’s enough to pull your arms off and it seriously worries almost every sports bike around. It is actually based on the 48-degree V-Twin found in the cooking model of the Road Star, but that’s where the similarities stop. The Warrior’s engine gets a 2mm bore increase taking the displacement up to 1670cc. There’s more, the huge low down torque is truly impressive, this is the main difference between standard V-twins and the Warrior. At just 3500 rpm, the Hot-Rod Yamaha is cranking out 140Nm of tyre-shredding torque.

This enormous amount of tractor-like pulling power combined with a huge 200-series rear tyre results in some seriously quick launches off the line at lights and junctions, there’s very little around that’s going to beat this beast of a bike away from a standing start, and it absolutely refuses to wheelie thanks to it’s long-long wheelbase of 1665mm. Out on the ordinary roads the Warrior’s frame and steering geometry wins hands down. It is almost fl ickable into corners on urban roads, it’s just a pleasure to ride. The riding position resembles that of an impersonation of a parachute with the wide bars offering plenty of leverage. The wide bars and the rigid chassis allow a you to quickly lean it over in a corner without any instability at all.

The Warrior has been designed effectively and Yamaha have not gone overboard trying to get the lowest possible seat height, it still comes in at a low 715mm, low enough for the majority of potential riders I would say. The huge fuel tank is a bit of a design exercise really as it only holds 19lts.

Tip of the day, when you let off just make sure you are not in a heavily populated pedestrian area or next to a 600 sportsbike, the intake roar and suction from the exhaust will drag small children off the pavement and inhale any passing sportsbike without blinking an eye!

There are a lot of clues to tell the casual onlooker that the Warrior is something special. There are subtle touches like the sculptured handlebar clamps, hi-tech yet strangely retro (if that makes sense!) instruments that glow neon blue at night. Even if the tacho is diffi cult to read as it sweeps up it’s digital dial, it still looks great, and who needs a tacho when you can almost count every beat of that stonkin’ motor! Then there’s the blacked out cylinders of the enormous engine and the giant exhaust can, no there’s no way you could mistake this bike for anything ordinary!

I totally enjoyed riding the Warrior during the time I had it, it was a real eye-opener to the world of the Performance cruiser. The Warrior handles well, has power in reserve whenever you want it, looks wicked and will eat superbikes off the line for breakfast (says I, a superbike rider most of the time!). Not only that it’s pretty exclusive as there won’t be that many around, so get down to you local dealer, if they stock them, and be prepared to be converted into a Road Warrior.

Well now you’ve seen it all ... Hein on a Nestle Ice Cream Vendor Bike, no this is not his new bike and no CMA is not starting an Ice Cream Chapter but rather Bike Talk Rider Academy that’s been appointed by Nestle to train all their Ice Cream Vendors from Learners upto Full License. They’ve, just like Honda, provided us with this unit to use for instruction in how to handle a 3-wheeler with or without a load of ice cream in the box and develop their skills in delivering Ice Cream safely. - Pic by Bike Talk

Underwear! And Socks!Written by John Briscoe of Gear Up Motorcycle Accessories

The ‘old man’ has gone crazy! Why write an article on underwear? Very subtle information and its mostly common sense but who the hell has the gall to write about this subject!

For me, if ‘me nuts’ are not comfortable how the hell can I enjoy my machine? So let’s look at the options! Sorry ladies, I can only refer to the male population here – maybe one of you will let Hein know about the female side!

Let’s start off by choosing what type of ride you’re on and what kit you’re wearing – full leathers require tighter fi tting smoother under jocks while the off road guys can afford to give some more aeration! But seriously EVS now produce under wear that is not only breathable but also wicks away sweat and provides an element of padding – ala – the cycling shorts! What you don’t want to do, is have shorts that fi t so tightly that all circulation is reduced – not good for your reproductive systems! Other options include cycling type shorts without the padding – this reduces the likelihood of chaffi ng. Us men folk have been known to use vast quantities of powder on long trips to avoid the dreaded chaff! Others have even resorted to Vaseline much like the comrades runners!

The other aspect to consider when choosing under wear is how much space you have for the number of days you’re going to be away. Most seasoned travelers will choose the loose Speedo type option where these can be washed at night while you’re showering. If this is the case only two pairs are required saving space.

Getting back to the leather guys, there are top and bottom inner suits that cater for both hot and cold riding. The one wicks away the moisture and keeps one cool while the other acts as a thermal on really cold days!

Speaking of thermals – this in itself is a subject on its own especially with all the high tech materials available today. For most of us riding on the coast the standard ‘Woolies’ thermal is suffi cient to keep out that cold during a winter breakfast run. For the guys who choose to ride in minus degrees then specialized thermals are a great idea and best obtained from the specialist riding / sport stores.

It has always been known that to have multiple layers is substantially better than having a large thick single layer garment. The multiple layer versions defi nitely assist with mobility and functionality. One is able to strip layer by layer as one gets warmer or vice versa adding as it gets colder!

In so far as one’s hands go inner cotton gloves can make a huge difference to your comfort on a bike. This may necessitate one having a winter set of gloves and a summer set. The summer version will be a tighter fi tting glove while the winter version will allow for the inners.

Just a quick word on socks - try and get the most natural of fi bers as possible. Mohair is probably the best all rounder! Again tight fi tting socks stop circulation – not a good thing to lose the feel in your feet on a long ride! Also look out for socks with large seams – these tend to ‘dig’ in and create problems. When wearing in new boots I suggest you wear a thin pair of socks under your regular socks – this stops or at least minimizes blisters!

All in all the secret of all kit is to be comfortable – if you’re not comfortable it is unlikely that you’ll wear the options probably required for the conditions!

Any other tips are more than welcome!Please email me at [email protected]

Who would think that the CMA guys and gals could come up with games like; “egg blowing” and “worm eating”! Well it all came to reality at the 2008 CMA Faith Rally in Skogheim where a select few had to compete in various activities to earn their money’s worth. Fellowship was great and so was Praise and Worship, the food, prize giving and yip, NO TENTS, all in comfy beds. At the Colours Presentation, numerous members received Half, Full and Leather Colours, what a glorious event and experience. New Presidents were also announced for the Durban, Highway and Margate Chapters. Blessings to all who attended, see you in 2009 - Pics by Bike Talk

REVIEW BY HEIN JONKERYes, what a shame it was to part with this great bike the way I did!!

For the past 25 years, Buell motorcycles have been big on distinctive design and effi cient engineering. But the company’s missing link, at least in terms of performance, has been their engines: the air-cooled V-Twins supplied by parent company Harley-Davidson offered nostalgia and low-end grunt, but Buell was never able to venture into ultra-high performance territory... until now. Enter the 1125R.

Boasting the fi rst water-cooled engine in a production Buell, this new V-Twin powered motorcycle seeks to compete with the big boys on the superbike scene. How does the 1125R compare? Read on!For his past 25 years or so in the motorcycle business, Erik Buell has prided himself on doing things a little differently. His “trilogy of tech” is a sort of manifesto for Buell’s engineering goals, and incorporates three basic tenets: low unsprung weight, mass centralization, and chassis rigidity.

Though a dry sump system prevents oil from being stored in the swingarm (as with air-cooled Buells), mass centralization is utilized in the 1125R’s underslung exhaust and fuel-in-frame design, which boasts over 21 litres of capacity.

Low unsprung weight is evident in the Zero Torsional Load front brakes and the rear brakes, which are mounted directly to the swingarm. Other unconventional choices for a superbike include a belt drive, which is 75% lighter than a traditional chain.

A pneumatic slipper clutch offers reduced clutch lever effort and diminished wheel hop by requiring less moving parts than standard spring-operated systems.

Externally, the 1125R boasts some fresh shapes without losing Buell’s distinctive look. Due to the bike’s dual radiators, two large, curved radiator housings were incorporated for air scooping. Though the bike’s front end might recall the Buell Firebolt from certain angles, other angles emphasize the tall frame which houses fuel, one of Buell’s visual trademarks. The 1125R’s wide, distinctive fairing makes itself visible from afar, but the whole package starts to look less odd as you spend more time with it. In fact, after two days with this Buell, its quirky looks grew on me quite a bit. Though a certain love it or leave it aspect of the 1125R’s styling remains, I wouldn’t be surprised if the 1125R develops a cult following simply because it looks so different from typical sportbikes.

Friendly Ergos; Ergo, ComfortUnlike certain severely focused Italian superbikes which will go unnamed, the Buell 1125R is ergonomically biased more towards comfort than outright performance. Footpegs are relatively low (in order to prevent lower leg scrunching), and the handlebar is in a forward position, but not so dramatically as to cause long-term discomfort. After several hundred k’s of riding, I found the 1125R to strike an excellent balance between comfort and sportiness. Though the somewhat thinly padded seat becomes more forgiving when rider weight is shifted towards its rear, it never felt punishingly uncomfortable. A rear seat is hidden underneath the rear cowl, which provides a sporty one-up look when in place.

The 1125R’s fairing, whose shape looks wide, squat, and ungainly from certain angles, does an excellent job of

providing protection from buffeting and excessive wind noise. An analog tachometer and digital speedometer convey information effectively, though the speedo might be positioned a bit low for some riders.

Overall, the 1125R’s ergonomics are more welcoming than one would expect for a 146 horsepower motorcycle.

Riding the Black Beast on the Road...While thoughtful ergonomics make the Buell 1125R easy enough to ride over long distances, the bike’s true test comes under more demanding circumstances: high-performance riding, it is a tremendously capable motorcycle.

Though it’s not small in size, the 1125R weighs only 190kg dry and Buell. Maneuver the bike at low speeds, and its light weight is immediately apparent. The bike changes direction easily, and generally feels willing to comply to rider input. It’s no 750 or 600 by any stretch of the imagination, but the 1125R is relatively nimble for its displacement and overall size.

At higher speeds, the 1125R feels as though it needs a tiny bit of a tug at the handlebars in order to instigate a turn; this isn’t so much a handling issue as much as it is a symptom of the bike’s good directional stability. After initial turn-in, the 1125R stays commited to turns and feels utterly stable under the steepest of lean angles.

The bike’s 8-piston brakes work well and offer plenty of stopping power, though sportbike purists might miss the feel of traditional radially mounted calipers.

Past Buells have earned a reputation for serious engine vibration, and the 1125R sticks to that tradition between the mid-range and the 10,500 redline: the vibes fi rst become evident in the handlebars at around 5,000 rpm, and travel down to the footpegs at around 8,000 rpm. Though high revs can be easily avoided during street riding, the track demands usage of the entire powerband, which can make for a ticklish ride at best. The roar of the V-Twin also becomes more pronounced during aggressive riding, which is consistent with the 1125R’s hardcore edge.

The pneumatically operated slipper clutch worked wonderfully on the track, absorbing the shock of sudden downshifts with ease. Brakes were strong, and always felt up the task of slowing the bike down for dramatic twisties.

Buell’s 1125R is Ready for the World; Is the World Ready for it? The superbike market is saturated with Japanese and, thanks to Ducati’s 1098, Italian contenders that offer some extremely competent motorcycles. Buell has taken a big risk by stepping outside of its comfort zone and creating a high-performance, water-cooled bike, and its efforts to build a world-class bike are largely successful.

It might lack the polish and fi nely-tuned characteristics of some of the standard-setting bikes that have benefi ted from decades of evolution, but for a fi rst effort, Buell’s 1125R is a notable achievement from the American manufacturer that has long been satisfi ed to be a big fi sh in the relatively small pond consisting of boutique, air-cooled motorcyles.

At R115 000.00, the 1125R is priced attractively enough for buyers who might choose it over more tried and true sport bikes. Whether or not they bite will depend on whether they’re willing to stick out from the crowd.

I’m betting they will.

REVIEW DEUR CARIN JONKERHierdie is een van vele motorfi etse wat ek gaan toets-ry net om ‘n punt te bewys dat daar wel “Life after Passenger” is, yip dit is tyd vir die “Biker Girls” om hulle eie ryding aan te skaf; en wat ’n manier om te begin as met hierdie pragtige Harley-Davidson Sportster Nightster.

Ek het die voorreg gehad om die 1200cc yster-perd te ry vir ‘n naweek in die vreeslikste wind en ook in die beste van omstandighede. Lees gerus verder en vind uit hoe jy as vrou, OK, en jy as klein geboude man die pragstuk kan geniet.

EERSTE OOG OPSLAGDit is fi ets wat skree “Ou Skool” met die speuk wiele, die brandstof “tank” en die modderskerm agter wat kort gesny is en die veer skokbrekers. Die twee kleur verfwerk pas die fi ets goed, daar is so te sê niks op die Nightster wat blink nie behalwe natuurlik die “Screaming Eagles” pype wat as ‘n opsie beskikbaar is, net om daardie unieke klank af te rond jy weet. Die brieklig is netjies in die fl ikker ligte ingebou, baie slim en prakties. Die Nightster is goed afgerond met al die regte “goodies” op die regte plekke, alles is waar dit moet wees vir jou gemak en plesier. Onthou net, dit is ‘n Harley, sy moet skud en ‘n bietjie raas, anders gaan jy skoon vergeet dat jy op ‘n motorfi ets is, in elkgeval is dit wat die koppe laat draai.

RY GEMAKMeeste Harley’s se rystyl is met jou voete vorentoe uitgestrek, maar nie die Nightster nie, jy sit op die fi ets net soos jy op ‘n stoel sal sit, heel gemaklik. Die “handlebars” is perfek in die sin dat jy glad nie hoef te strek om by dit uit te kom nie, en dan die sitplek is lekker laag en gemaklik. Met my rit af Port Shepstone toe en terug het ek geensins moeg of seer geword nie. Al wat ek graag sal wil sien op die Nightster is ‘n windskerm, net om die ergste wind af te weer.

KRAG EN HANTEERINGWel dit is ‘n 1200cc motor bygesê wat beteken dat jy nie op en af met jou ratte hoef te sukkel nie, daar is meer as genoeg krag om selfs in 6de rat keel oop te maak, sy’s gehoorsaam en sal jou nie teleurstel nie. Moenie dat die krag jou afskrik nie, op die ou einde is dit jy wat die beheer het, krag is goed veral as jy dit nodig het om uit ‘n moeilike situasie uit te kom of om ‘n ander voertuig verby te gaan. Die wielbasis is ook nie so lank nie, m.a.w. jy sal nie sukkel om die ysterperd deur draaie en swaaie te vat nie. Die Nightster is glad nie so swaar nie en ek het geen probleem gehad om haar te beheer op lae spoed nie.

FINALE WOORDHierdie was my eerste Harley rit in ware algemene omstandighede waarin jy jouself sal vind, dit is sowaar die perfekte motorfi ets vir die vrou wat lekker gemaklik wil ry met die wete dat kwaliteit en krag 100% met jou is. Ek het waarlik myself geniet en die feit dat ek nog vrou alleen met hom gery het in hierdie wind en weer kan jy dit sekerlik ook doen. Doen jouself ‘n guns en gaan kyk, hierdie is die fi ets vir jou as jy krag en gemak op twee wiele soek, dan kom die vryheid van ry en ry en ry tot jy lekker kry.

Evaluation of the BMW GS800 F by Kim Gibbings

A group of friends and I planned a trip of 8700 km’s leaving from Durban. The route took us to the West coast up through Namibia into Angola, and back home. The road up to Namibia was tar, once in Namibia we stayed mainly on dirt roads, on entering Angola, the roads deteriorated into twin tracks where I don’t think 4X4’s would transverse the track anymore - it reminded me of the ‘Roof of Africa’, the fi rst 460km in Angola from Ruacana to Namibia took us 3 days to cover. It consisted of rocks, river beds, shale, lava rock and thick beach sand. As you can see we covered just about every type of terrain.

Well enough of my trip, which would take at least twenty pages to write – onto the bike…When I fi rst picked up my bike, I was struck immediately by the smoothness of the motor and ride. It has amazing suspension and overall felt just right, most bikes take a period to get use to, not this one it was comfortable from the start. The road holding was superb on the tar, and on occasions during the trip, when I was videoing with my left hand, I found myself doing 180 kms riding one handed to catch up with the other bikes, and not once did I feel unsafe. Going through the passes, the bike was accurate and smooth. It felt like I was on a ‘full’ road bike. Other bikes on our ride consisted of another GS800 F, two 990 KTM adventures, a 950 KTM adventure, a 650 Dakar, and a GS1200. Thankfully the GS1200 had to turn back before Angola (for business), as I don’t think the bike was suitable for the hectic terrain in Angola. To describe the terrain, I would equate the terrain more suitable for my 450i Enduro Bike. The GS1200 was terrifi c on tar and dirt roads.

The power of the GS800 F was as good as the KTM 990’s and they only blipped me on top end, but by then we were topping 190 to 200 kms per hour. But from pull off until then, there was nothing in it. Then came the dirt roads, what fun I had. No matter what I tried ‘from power slides’, to sitting at a 140kms+ the bike never faulted. At fi rst I was getting a small wobble on the handlebars at 120kms per hour but realized that I had all my luggage weight behind me and high up. This was easily fi xed by adjusting the back spring tension. The bike comes with an adjuster situated below the seat and after experimenting I found 8 turns in was good, remembering I was carrying all my clothes, tent, sleeping bag, 15 litres of fuel, water and food for 3 days. (this was to get us through the 460 kms in Angola). I found that with getting a bit more weight onto my front wheel, the bike tracked better though thick sand and the shaking or wobble of the handlebars at 120kms was no more.

Once we crossed the Angola Boarder, things became tough. Once again the bike astounded me. Even with +- 50kgs on the back of the bike. I was playing like I was on my Sherco 450 Enduro bike. The suspension soaked up the rocks; the brakes never overheated and were fantastic. Beware SWITCH OFF THE ABS for all dirt riding – a very dangerous thing to have on. It was great for the tar, but then I personally prefer not to have ABS at all. Though heated grips is a must! I cannot tell you what fun I had riding the bike on extreme off road terrain. A point to highlight is the weight of the bike; I was 40kgs lighter than the other bikes. I averaged 400kms on a 16 litre tank. I was getting 460kms plus in the extreme terrain with the slow pace. I remember often standing and pinning the bike over rocks etc and thinking to myself that this bike is ‘too good’.Another strong point the GS800 F had against the 990 and 950 KTM’s was the low down torque that the bike has in thick sand. If you start bogging down in a river bed, or thick sand, there is no need to drop a gear. Just roll on the throttle and she powers her way out of it. One of the bikers on a 990 KTM kept commenting about it. The bike was so well balanced and being a Trials rider, I picked this up immediately. The standing position was just right after adjusting the handlebars forward – here take some advice and; do not get a large tank bag as this hinders your standing position. Seating position was also great and I could ride in either position no matter what the terrain.

Overall I cannot fault the bike. It was just superb although the bike weighed in at 178 kgs dry. It does not feel that heavy as I was able to throw the bike around with ease, and I only weight 85kgs. Another remarkable thing about the bike is the smooth purr like motor. No vibration what so ever. On the long journeys the bike does not tire you. We averaged +-400 to 600kms a day. Except on the last two days, I had a family emergency and left Ngepi situated just on the boarder of Namibia and Botswana about 2000kms from Durban and raced back home. Thankfully Peter (a good friend) opted to ride back with me. It took us 1¾ days to do 2000kms. Again the bike preformed fl awlessly – overtaking the traffi c etc was a breeze with ample power no matter what speed you approached them at. I could go on and on about this bike. It’s fi rst-rate with minimal fl aws, if you could call them that.

Good PointsGood suspension, superb handling both on and off-road, ample power for all terrain with low down grunt, smooth motor – no vibration, great brakes, light weight.

Bad PointsThe wind shield causes too much buffeting and wind noise. It needs either a bigger or smaller wind shield, ABS ‘can it’ - not needed, change the tyres from Bridgestone Battle Wings to Bridgestone Trail Wings – awesome tyres.

Thanks go to Ian Marthinusen and Roy Bowman from BMW Umhlanga, the service they gave me was beyond the norm, as I am not able to fault their service either - Kim Gibbings

Since our appointment as the Offi cial Instructor for Honda in KZN a few months ago, Honda SA decided to give me the VFR800 for personal use and instruction among the 4 other smaller bikes they provided us to use in the Academy.

I knew the VFR was a very popular bike among some riders but I never thought I would like it the way I do. I must add that this is a highly under-estimated machine which doesn’t stand shy from its little brother, the VFR400.

The revolutionary V4 VTEC system, delivers stronger, more responsive torque and power

output at low to mid-range engine speeds, and then switches valve operation at higher engine speeds to deliver a breathtaking leap of supersports performance. the VFR’s advanced Dual Combined Brake System provides sportsbike braking performance to give both seasoned experts and less experienced riders more confi dent braking control in diffi cult situations.

This frame has been refi ned to deliver the ultimate balance of supersports agility and long distance touring performance, providing both nimble handling and smooth high-speed cruising stability, whatever your riding desire.

The VFR puts the sport into touring with an extraordinary blend of sophistication, comfort, performance and sheer practicality. Riding distances in comfort and still delivering exhilarating supersports performance at the twist of a throttle is where the VFR800 gains respect.

This is the kind of bike for anyone who’s looking to put the “spunk” back into Touring. Pop in at your nearest Honda Dealer, the SRP is R97 999 - Hein Jonker

As with all boys and their toys, there is an rivalry between Jean “birdsh@t” Busa and Erich “1 kg” ZX14. Which bike is faster??? The contested rivalry dispute will be settled once and for all on 2 November at the local CMA KZN Drag Racing day in Eston. See you there! Safe riding! - Pic by Jean

GOD’s HALF PAGEFeeling Sorry for Yourself?So you think you have problems. Who doesn’t? That is no reason for you to quit the church or abandon the Faith. “As you know, we consider blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord fi nally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy. ” (James 5:11).

Put yourself in the shoes of Job for a moment:HE LOST HIS WEALTH: In rapid succession three messengers came telling Job of the destruction of his property and servants by bands of robbers and by lightning.HE LOST HIS FAMILY: A fourth messenger came telling of the death of all of Job’s children. Seven sons and three daughters were crushed in a moment when the house fell.HE LOST HIS HEALTH: Job was smitten from head to foot with most loathsome ulcers. He was constrained to sit down among the ashes and scrape himself with a potsherd.HE LOST HIS FRIENDS: His servants turned their backs on him. The children in the streets despised Job and mocked him. His friends told him that his sufferings were because of his wickedness. And his wife nagged him to curse God and die.

If you take any of these trials separately they would be great, but view them collectively and one is almost overwhelmed. But in the midst of calamity, “In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing” (Job 1:22).

And you know what? Job learned that the Lord is very “compassionate and merciful.”

Four wheels move the body ... Two wheels move the soul

Most motorcycle problems are caused by the nut that connects the handlebars Saddlebags can never hold all you want but they can hold all you need Never try to outrace an old biker, he may have one more gear than you It takes more love to share the saddle than it does to share the bed The only good view of a thunderstorm is in your rear view mirror Never be afraid to slow down Sometimes it takes a full tank of fuel before you can think straight Riding faster than anyone else only guarantees you’ll ride alone Never hesitate to ride past the last street at the edge of town If you don’t ride in the rain, you don’t ride
