Pics of my bike
Here are some pics of my bike that i took after i bought it about two weeks ago.
I was busy fastening all the electrical wires and loc-titing all the bolts!! I f there's one thing that i've learned from these chinese bikes, it's that you should do a PROPER "post delivery inspection"  yourself, before riding it.It's quite a nice bike for trail riding and taking in all the scenery, only thing i hate are the useless mirrors.  I'm still running her in, only has 395 km on her.

Nice bike, sir.
Which part of South Africa do you hail from? I spent a couple wonderful weeks in Durban a number of years ago. Wonderful, despite the fact I was there for work.

I'm from the Rustenburg area in the North West Province. Durban is a lovely city, iv'e been there quite a few times myself.
My friends and i are thinking about doing a trip to Durban with our china bikes!! Should be interesting. It's about a 1050km ride to Durban from where we live. |

I did the drive from Joburg to Durban in a Passat. Well, I slept in the passenger seat of the Passat on the drive to Durban. The flight from Chicago to Madrid, then Madrid to Joburg does induce a certain amount of jet lag.
