    Too many bikes in S.A.!!!
    I like the slightly smaller rallys. 6 is a good example, just as darkman found out last weekend.

    By the way Darkman, A very nice example of a CBR11000!!!

    Give me a PM if you want me to look at your alarm, I will look at reprogramming your existing one, I can probably get it sussed for next to nothing.

    Damn, where can I get an 11 litre bike?

    Gorgeous SA weather, I miss those sorts of days.

    20,000 i'm sure we don't have that many road bikes in nz.
    unless we throw in quads and farm bikes.
    very impressive. when's the next big run in NZ?

    There happens to be the Sulphur City Rally this weekend,( Rotorua) more of a mini-rally by comparison.

    I'm headed over to SA in December for a holiday.
    Don't think I'll be allowed to do any motorbiking though

    Have they heard of motorbikes in the Klienemond? (sp)

    Hello Darkman... Welcome to KB.

    I remember those toy runs and rallies where thousands and thousands of bikers turned up.

    There are great rallies in NZ, not the same size of a Rhino or Swallow, but still great events.

    Take care out there and huve fun!
