Re: 582 starting problems

Buy a new battery ! But get a gel battery from BMW used on their 1200 bikes. You will never ever have to buy another battery. 900.00 bucks though for this pleasure. vhpy

Re: The cost to host microlighters.co.za in South Africa

Simple suggestion, but how about a billing system like SMS. R 1.00 per log-on or posting ? Or will admin kill the benefit ?
I'm a bit of a techno-retard though. :oops: :cry:

Re: Jan Grootepass's self designed and built BMW powered trike

Do a oil filter replacement on a GS650F and see what is cast in aluminium on the inside of the filter cover ... "ROTAX". Ditto Apprillia 650. Rumour has it that the BMW 800's are also Rotax, but BMW denies it. Says Rotax was only involved in the design. :roll:

Re: Help with hangar builders

R 315 K for a 15 x 15 x 5.2 structure is a good price. Although it sounds steep, steel increased 62% since January, thanks to the ANC selling ISCOR to India. I know the Bothaville guy and his prices are hard to beat. What makes it a bit expensive is your 15m cross span design. If it was a 30m x 7.5m...

Re: Whew! What a week!

I've used Dr. Philda de Jager a couple of times now. She is GREAT ! But she gives a bigger "opf#k" than any corporal in the Air Force ever did to me. Halve through I tune her "Surely you can see that I am fit ? Can't we stop now ? ... Please ?" She has this sadistic grin and says: "The absence of di...

Re: How can we reduce the cost flying?

I forgot to add ... If you WERE to be MADE stopping flying t'morrow, what will be your bill at the psychiatrist ? That will add another R 800.00 per hour for NOT FLYING ! Not to mention the cost of an attorney for the resulting woman- and child-bashing for not being able to fly ! Therefore: Start fl...

Re: How can we reduce the cost flying?

It is a perception that flying is expensive. What cheaper way of transport is there but flying ? An average Hi-Lux, plus wear and tear, tyres, fuel consumption, insurance, services, monthly payments, garage built onto your home at R 2 000.00 per meter square, road risk and theft risk and you will en...
