Clickbait headline from Wheels24.

Man jailed after filming himself riding at over 320km/h on a motorbike is the headline.

Copy reads: A man has been jailed for filming himself riding at nearly 200mph on a motorbike

Video still shows 185mph = 296km/h.

Even the video states nearly 200mph. 185 is not nearly 200.

That's a fair bit slower than over 320km/h

Useless journalist.

and apart from the speed, pulling wheelies, driving through red lights, weaving in and out of traffic AND RECEIVING STOLEN GOODS

Yip, clickbait!

Yip, clickbait!

Anyone with a bike speeds, pulls wheelies (or wishes they knew how) & weaves through traffic at some stage. Red light - lock him up. Stolen goods - lock him up.

Over 320km/h claims from journalist - outright lie. Lock him up too.

It's Wheels24. Easily the most unreliable Motoring site out of SA.

Have any of you tried the BMW 2 in 1 Gore-tex gloves....

They are pricy, but I tried a pair on and they were nice. Overkill for Durban though

Held make a pair very similar to the BMW branded, but cost more... https://mxalliance.co.za/product/held-twin-gore-tex-2-1-gloves/

Snap.. But mine takes in water and then never dry. I think that started after year 2.

You get specific sprays or even wash in liquids for keeping things waterproof.

Leather is easier you just put on some Renapur.

These things can't just magically keep themselves waterproof.

Had to turn off the heaters
So I guess in a couple months I'll be asking for recommendations for summer gloves

 

[SauRoNZA]

I doubt Archer will move away from BMW.

Maybe he's pre-ordered the new smaller GS?

BMW doesn't make anything that doesn't use petrol, so nope
