Will re welding the alloy not weaken it? Will it be safe enough for the stresses that it goes through?

You'll probably find that even completely ignoring it, it will still last for a great many years.
 
How much worth do you guys put into having all your insurance under one policy?
Busy looking around since my bikes premium is at R880 (for a 2010 R1200 GSA). Can get bike cover only for about R450, or move my entire policy elsewhere but the total package is only R100 cheaper.

I have all mine under one policy - mainly because I couldn't actually get the bike insured without some other cover, eg, home contents, as well.
But as it turns out, I got a better deal when I moved anyway.

One insurance broker, one phone number, one debit order to keep track of. If I pay a bit more so be it, I probably spend more than the difference (if there is any) on takeaways and nonsense anyway.

I would NEVER do that. A crack all the way around the main spar of a frame? You'd trust your life on that bike at 120 / 140 / 180 ?

There are many many things keeping it together.

It's not just magically going to disintegrate all in one go.

But I wasn't saying it should be ignored, rather just that if it was it would probably last quite a long time.

Just like the Aprilias back in the day with the swingarms that where splitting.

Anybody knows the speed to go through this bend maneuver, I've got mixed answers from people. I fail two weeks ago, because they said I wasn't going fast enough. I was like going in 24km/h and exiting a bit faster, wasn't watching speed when exiting. He said I must be between 20 and 30. Though some books and people mentioned between 15 and 20.

Thanks, got the license this morning, after 7 years of learners and procrastination. Finally past on 2nd attempt.
Bad luck is, guy with Jeep Cherokee drove me of my bike on my home from test center. I was in a circle and he just came in, apparently didn't see me. Bike will be gone for a while......ai

**** that sucks.

But I've learnt my lesson not to trust anyone at a circle before they've completely stopped and looked me in the eye.
 
Sorry to hear about the crash bru

Just for kicks.
 
Think it's time I trade in the Grom for a scrambler. My bro and his friend are taking their 125s on a road trip through Langebaan or something (sent me pics).

So fscking jealous. I miss mine from school days :(
