I;ve noticed a few bike's for sale on this forum and got to wandering. How many of us are also bikers. I alternate my weekend's between biking and flying when i can. Can't live without either.

I like Bikes but i got rid of my cruiser long time ago
Will kill myself on that thing. Stick to flying much safer.

Ja, me also like the 2 wheeled things - Recently got a BMW R1150RT
Once asked a fellow microligter who also bikes (he has a Ducati) if he prefers flying or motorcycles - He said he cannot choose
For me it is easy - Bikes are awesome but trikes win hands down

Was down in Winkelspruit [south coast ] September last year and saw about 10 XT 500' at one place. All in great condition. There seems to be quite a following down there. We always called it the VULTURES CROTCH because the mother of a kick it would give you if you got the kick start wrong.

It is the same feeling of freedom, the same gorgeous smells when doing low flying in the likes of the Eastern Transvaal, the same adrenalin pumping....
- Zillions of miles in ET with wifey.
Had three ZX 9 's
Sold the first ZX 10 on 38 000 km. Here on my second ZX 10. Use it everyday to work and back, going for 35 000 km on the clock. LUV my Kawas.
Only a biker knows why a dog sticks his head out of a car window.

Howzit Low Level.
The one and only Kawa I owned was a Lawson replica KZ1000R back in the early 80's. Blow my mind the first time i did 200kmh. Found this on the web. To lazy to find my own foto's then scan right now. The foto of your wife look,s like somewhere in ET. Paradise rallye. Best rally of the year, because of the twisties. Just go to the rally site to look at other bike,s then it's back to the twistie's. Did a lot of racing in the 80's and 90's. Had the time of my life.
