The K1200GT, simply the best, or like they say on www.k-bikes.com - "excellence in motion". Heated grips and seat, nice at 05:45 in the morning. Smoothness, 40km/h in 6th. Power....... :-) Give a RT rider a GT and he will never go back.

I cannot resist the temptation of sharing the experience of somebody buying a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized tazer. Quote........... Whoever this guy is, he has a definite message for you Not too long ago, I saw something at the gun shop that sparked my interest. The occasion was our 10th anniversary and I was looking for a little something extra for my wife. What I came across was a 100,000-volt, pocket/purse-sized tazer. The effects of the tazer were supposed to be short lived, with no long term adverse affect on your assailant, allowing her adequate time to retreat to safety. Needless to say, this was way too cool. Cut a long story short, I bought the device and brought it home. I loaded two AAA batteries in the thing and pushed the button. fokall! I was so disappointed. I learned, however, that if I pushed the button AND pressed it against a metal surface at the same time; I'd get a blue arc of electricity darting back and forth between the prongs. Awesome! Unfortunately, I have yet to explain to my wife what that burn spot is on the face of her LG convection oven. Okay, so I was home alone with this new toy, thinking to myself that it couldn't be all that bad with only two AAA batteries, right? Yah. There I sat in my recliner, my cat looking on intently, the trusting little soul, while I was reading the directions and thinking that I really needed to try this thing out on a flesh & blood moving target. I must admit I thought about zapping Kitty for a fraction of a second, but thought better of it. She is such a sweet cat and, as most of you already know, hell hath no fury like a cat pissed off. But, if I was going to give this thing to my wife to protect herself against a mugger, I did want some assurance that it would work as advertised. Am I wrong? So, there I sat in a pair of shorts and my WP supporter jersey, with my reading glasses perched delicately on the bridge of my nose, directions in one hand, tazer in another. The directions said that a one-second burst would shock and disorient your assailant; a two-second burst was supposed to cause muscle spasms and a major loss of bodily control; a three-second burst would purportedly make your assailant flop on the ground like a fish out of water. Any burst longer than three seconds would be wasting the batteries. All the while I'm looking at this little device measuring about 5" long, less than 3/4 inch in circumference; pretty cute really and loaded with two itsy, bitsy AAA batteries thinking to myself "no flippin' way!" What happened next is almost beyond description, but I'll do my best. I'm sitting there alone, the cat looking on with her head tilted to one side as if to say, "don't do it, you stupid man," reasoning that a one-second burst from such a tiny little ole thingy couldn't hurt all that bad. I decided to give myself a one-second burst just for the heck of it. I touched the prongs to my naked thigh, pushed the button, and HOLY MOTHER OF @@@!!!!, WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION, CRAP ON A STICK, @&$ ME GEORGE!!!!! I'm pretty sure THE BLUE BULLS TEAM ran in through the side door, picked me up, body slammed me on the carpet over and over and over again and then slammed the recliner over my head as a just for fun. I vaguely recall waking up on my side in the fetal position, with tears in my eyes, body soaking wet smelling like piss, both nipples on fire, testicles nowhere to be found, with my left arm tucked under my body in the oddest position, and pins and needles in my legs. The cat was standing over me making meowing sounds I had never heard before, licking my face, undoubtedly thinking to herself, "Do it again, do it again you stupid d00s!" Please take this from the voice of experience - there is no such thing as a one-second burst when you zap yourself!!!!. You will not let go of that thing until it is dislodged from your hand by a violent thrashing about on the floor! Three second burst would be considered conservative. A minute or so later (I can't be sure, as time was a relative thing at that point), I collected my wits (what little I had left), sat up and surveyed the landscape. My bent and forlorn reading glasses were hanging miserably on the mantel of the fireplace. How did they up get there? My triceps, right thigh and both nipples were still twitching. My face felt like it had been shot up with Novocain, and judging by how my jaw hung listlessly, my bottom lip must have weighed 88 lbs. By the way, at this point my testicles, feeling like they withdrew into my body somewhere around my ribcage, are still waiting for the all clear signal to emerge from the bomb shelter. Now I know how Tom Hanks' character felt when he had to go search for Private Ryan. I felt like I should offer a significant reward for their safe return. Even now, I experience shrinkage when I plug anything into the socket. So if you ever feel compelled to "mug" yourself with a tazer to test it, take my advice! Repeat after me...here, kitty kitty ....

Steph, This is classic, this guy could win the Darwin awards... :-) I have just read this to a couple of colleagues.We almost wet ourselves(Without the help of a taser) Andy1200 Never ride faster than your guardian angel can fly!!!

Hi Johan Cheapy plastic fingerless gloves or mittens that fits over the standard gloves. Takes away a lot of the wind chill during very cold conditions or when its really pouring down. No more soggy gloves. (No glove is water resistant!). Lost mine last year but since winter's coming went to look for a replacement. Nowhere in town to be found but eventually found the last pair at a shop in Parow. Don't know the name but they have a new accessories dept upstairs. (Motorcycle City?). I know you can get more fancy ones but these go for about R18.

dito Thanks for a good read. Kobus --------- Dream like you will live forever, live like you're going to die tomorrow

Hi Hd, It's Motorcycleworld in Parow, Corner of Voortrekker and Mcintyre

Thanks!

Steph You WIN this beats Geoff's Mother's Day post, but bring it to the club meeting and give us all a demo.:-)

The best laugh I have had in a very long time!!!!

Steph you have made my day. The tears are still streaming down my face. I have a really hard core electrician friend who often gets zapped so we really question how good he is. He burns his name on his forearm with one of those things. Best piece of kit : Rear wide footpegs, SWAMBO much happier approachable person.
