Nice to see you. Hoping the list grows.

The M1, all of it, has been open to bikes for some years now.

The M2, a small part on the east near Germiston still had the restriction, but that was probably lifted after the repair done a year...

Nice bike. Enjoy.

Sorry, no idea how those new fangled gadgets and devices work.

Thanks all. Those of you marshaling the next solar challenge, we will wait for you in Mosselbay. You will recognize us easily. One old, slow guy on a old, slow 1150GSA with the young, fast wife on...

So, after being born and raised on Vaaldam water, I will soon (next week) be dragged to the Western Cape from where Mags originally came. Goodbye Bapsfontein, hello Klein Brakrivier. The AMZ wagon...

R.I.P Allan.

Ja. Hang in there for the next 21 days.

Stay safe. Stay home!

Welcome! I love the idea of having a van as your address. It sounds very cool. Enjoy the bike.

Unless it has changed, the removal of your member tag from the forum is a manual thing. The membership dude needs to inform the Forum Admin dude to remove it. I am not sure that process is still in...

The decision, at least the foundation of the decision, to not come to SA for 2020 was taken during the 2018 SSC already. Even before the final day. They needed to decide Chili, or USA. It seems...

Have a great one Uncle Bro!

They are rebuilding the car and will participate this year, possibly in the Atacama Solar Challenge in Chili.

Why? We can only guess. My personal guess, for eye to eye chat, not a public forum.

Of the 838 a good 830 will be automated web bots searching for information.

It seems, basically confirmed, that we will not see the Vattenfal (ex-Nuon) solar team in South Africa this year. I predicted this at the end of the 2018 SSC and I am very sad to be correct. ...

What he said.

Have a great one!

Get well soon ye olde strange one!

We do heal a tad slowly as we get older, so take it easy. Rather let someone bring you that beer.

You do need to check out the Sharp Helmet Ratings though. Shark are generally very good helmets, ranging between 4 and 5 star. Scorpion is also good, but look at their ratings. Most of the...

Research the helmet. It must at least be ECE 22-05 approved and better than 3 stars on the Sharp scale. All helmets rated by the Sharp Ratings (UK government) are ECE approved.

Hi. Welcome and enjoy the bike. Those early F-Series Beemers had the same 650cc engines made by Rotax for the Bombardier quad which won the 1000 mile Baja desert race many years in a row. They are...

This is why I was surprised at the roll forward at the control stop and even more so at the site of the fire. Not having the park brake on is a very basic error. Those of us who have marshaled the...

I saw the video of where NunaX caught fire. I fear the team may have dropped the ball.

NunaX came to a quick stop. Only 1 of the people in the chase car ran towards Nuna and helped the driver...

The Aus and SA challenges cannot really be compared as they are very different.

Australia is the World Solar Challenge and seen as the world championship. As many as 40 entrants. By this...
