Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick).
There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Your opinions?
Nuffin' wrong with that. Lucky feckers. If I could ride as well, and trusted me mates as much, and had a week or two abroad on the bike, and had no kids, and had lots of money, and was 16, then yeah!
But I aint and I'm not. Lucky feckers......

there is no police, and even if there were you could probably just drop them a few rand and be on your way, having driven round parts of it i'd say 100mph is certainly no more dangerous than doing 60/70 down most british A roads

Not true...the KK as they are known locally, regularly patrol these areas now...more so on sundays really. And as for the bribes, well that depends on who catches you(if they do because most bikers out there ride without plates) and how deep your pockets are.

You are still riding at silly speeds near someone ... near people you don't even know ... you have the potential to take several people out ...

I'd say the potential to do harm to others is much more so than a deserted African road!!
