So the ****ing piano got the better of him.

Really sad news and I hope we get a little more detail of exactly what went down so we can all hopefully learn something from it.

RIP Fanie.

The ****ing rat jokes will never be the same again.

To add to that.

Don’t blame it all on the other party and take some personal responsibility.

Takes two to tango.

Here it's traffic circles, no one stops or even check when entering one. Guy in Cherokee drove over me last year, while I was inside the circle and he was coming in. Nowadays, I will almost stop dead, if someone just even looks like they're not going to stop for me.

Yup when I enter any of those small useless circles where you can just drive straight through them I go on full high alert for every entry point because people are blind or just don’t give a toss.

For racing it is great fun, but not for commuting or riding on the road. I actually wanted to buy a KTM 450 that was converted to a motard and made road worthy. If it does not start the first try with the electric start than you are screwed and have to try kick it, decided against it and just got a full racing supermoto. If you want a road worthy supermoto then rather buy one that is made for the road like an Aprilia SXV or a Husky 701 or something like that

Problem is I'm still a youngster (compared to most people here) and those bikes are 4 to 6 times my price range, still going too be on the lookout for a bargain, VFR400 or a CBR250RR, see them pop up every now and again.

My condolences to Fanie's family

I would also look at the suzuki drz400sm. I commuted on one for years.
 
RIP Fanie and condolences and strongs to the family...bikers always need to treat everyone else on the road like they are utter morons and can't drive. Always think for everyone around you and don't trust anything they do. Constantly.


Be safe everyone
 
Tragic! I am having my first lesson this Saturday and I have been so excited I can barely sit still. Now I don't know...

Don't let it scare you. Unfortunately it happens, and people that ride bikes know and take the risks and still choose to hop onto two wheels as it is what they love. Just be safe and vigilant, that is about as much as we can do
