My PR4's lasted 9500km a pop. I had replaced the rear 2x. I'm now on the PR5. They're awesome tyres!
 
Blue Suzuki down corner of Grayston and 5th. Hope it was noone here and hope the rider is OK

My PR4 rear tyre lasted 16 500 km. The front is currently on ~26 000km. I have a Michelin Power Pure 2ct on the rear now with about 9 500km on and it's on it's end now. Think I'm going to throw a set of PR5's on next.
 
Silverton Midas has a decent Range. Montana Traders - wouldn't buy a helmet, but some of the leather jackets they have are a lot better than the branded stuff. Decent stitching and quality leather

I have all the bits to put together a Raspberry Pi cam on the bike, just finding the time to put it all together. 2 cameras for front and rear, storage, can ssh in to grab video.

And a jetski for mornings like today

Great idea, I just got a pi zero w to mess around with, with cameras being so expensive this might be a fun project.
 
Any recommendations on where I would find the best prices on front & rear discs for a 2011 G650GS? Preferably in Gauteng area.

It worries me how little defensive riding people do as if leaving it all to luck of the draw and hoping for the best.

Just tonight I predicted and entire situation and the multiple ways it would go and they all came together right in front of me.

Guy travelling in middle lane on a midsized dual sport behind a van. Two cars in the right lane some way ahead but you can see the front one is being pushed by he one behind and will go to the middle any moment.

Smaller bike in the left lane well within the periphery of the other bike.

Bike decides to pass and first almost gets taken out by the car changing from the right to middle who didn’t indicate but whose intentions were written all over then, at the same time after narrowly dodging them almost take the bike out from the left lane which is also moving right now.

All avoidable if any one single person drove/rode defensively.

If the main bike has just been permanently lane splitting instead of changing “modes” the whole time on his riding behaviour he would have been much more aware of what is happening around him.

I do agree, although sometimes Sh*t happens and we never really know if a party to the accident was actually driving/riding defensively.

When i was a field technician driving 6000km a month i too used to predict the movements of cars around me, sometimes predicting a car's movement across multiple lanes, there has been so many times where i'm waiting for someone to do what i have predicted and i end up mumbling to myself "must i drive for you!" just before they do exactly what i thought they'd do.

Yeah there are obviously genuine freak accident situations where it’s truly unavoidable on the part of at least one party.

The majority however are easily avoidable through observation and patience.
