Unfortunately I won't be doing a ride on SS III as I have to work some of the weekend.



(Not to mention BMW have not sorted the bike yet).

Nemesis ...your bike is exactly 7 months old on the 20th - it deserves a trip out !!!

I'm a bit disappointed that BMW will not open their doors.

[Biza]

Thanks Alex, will see you along the way. Should be there around 08h15 - 08h25.

ALL the exposure goes to the GS bikes, every year is a big get together arranged by BMW, either the GS Challenge or like this year the ECO 1000. Road bikes are not getting ANY exposure, hopefully this will change (or so we think and hope) with the new appointment at BMW with the new S1000RR.

Well, lets make the best of our event and bikes and enjoy it.

[Jamie (RIP)]

........Because the GS is the money spinner.

Road bike sales are small in comparison and K-series........well they are tiny, tiny

Absolutely Biza, let's get together and ride - I will be on the T junction next to Lanseria.

KTM must be kicking themselves they didn't do "The long way round" series.

[Biza]

Thanks Mirage ZA, see you on Sunday.

What can we say Jamie, hopefully the marketing of the S1000RR will be good and that will put road bikes on the 'map' at BMW.

The K S T A Y S an awesome bike and will not be beaten easily.

[Deon]

Hi Biza,

Only figured out now how to join this forum. I would like to join the run to Sun City. Which route are you taking? I'm picking up a pillion in Theresa Park in the north, doesn't make sense to go back to midrand, so would rather like to join you on the way.

Thanks, Deon.

Welcome to the forum Deon

Great to see a neighbour around here.

btw. We are having breakfast every Friday morning from 06:45 onwards at Greenfields Mall @ Reds. Most welcome to join.

[LudwigP]

Thanx Biza.

I will be travelling from Rustenburg. Will join you when you turn off from the N4 to Pilansberg. Any Idea when you will be there so I can get my timing sorted out?

I have two K-buddies joining us Anton (100%) and Martin (80% sure he will join). Martin will join from the N14 turn-off onto Lanseria road - Time that you will pass through there? Anton will join you at Midrand.

Looking forward to it.

[Jamie (RIP)]

"Afrique du Sud" .........once again

[Deon]

Thanks, Jamie. Appreciate the friendliness. I'll join breakfast on Friday morning, gives opportunity to also talk about sunday.

I am not going to be able to join you guys- Work is going to have to come before play - I will try come to the meeting place to say hi and ride a short way with the ride

[Biza]

You are most welcome to come say hi and ride with us Doug.

[kralties]

These are a couple of pictures from Malta,went out for a ride with my youngest son this morning,not many bikes on the road this morning as it was raining earlier,so this year a countryview picture.

[SHIVA]

hi, as the only K rider in Malta you always have 100% of K owners show up for rallies... Thanks for the pics and beautiful scenery. S

[Bernardo]

next year we made the argentine team, maybe a dozen

I'm sure that some argentine guys are visitors in this forum, and possibly have some language difficulties (me too, but I'm less shy.. ). Please feel free to call me...

We had lots of bikes on SA Rally - I rode one part of the route and my mate was chasing me with helmet cam - I will upload video clip on you tube shortly.
