Congratulations to Geoff - St Helena Enduro

Ag sorry man - I tried to move the thread from General into this new forum, but the system twisted everything up and when I tried to delete one little comment it trashed all the comments. And, as the system warned me, it cannot be undone. What it didn't warn about was that it was intending to remove '''all''' comments and not just the one I had selected. Ah well, so much for the 'prune' and 'graft' function on the forum... Website Administrator [http://honeybadger.net Honey Badger IT Services]

Geoff, please no MMS's of your rear end this time!!!:-)

Where is the next race? I would like to come watch / support while saving for an enduro bike.

Charles I told you a long time ago, Windows is the way to go, it would have asked you ten times "are you sure you want to delete" you would not listen!!! Maybe get some tips from the Think Bike Forum software, or the BMWSuperbikes forum software :-) They work very well. In comparison we are still behind.

The poor man needed to be helped on and off his bike the next day when we rode the Nelson's Creek 09 Green Route.LOL Congrats again Geoff and thanks for the lekker ride had loads of fun.

I am looking forward to seeing GR out performing the manne in the NC09 skills challenge !!! Johan de Jager "It's all about the ride, nothing else"

Thanks for all the kind words guys and girls. There is no doubt that I can not remember ever being as sore and stiff as I was yesterday and am today. Talk about finding new muscles.......!!!! An interesting point was that the top speed achieved by one of the top BMW 450 riders (the guy came 16th overall) was 160kph, my top speed was just over 90kph. Overall BMW positions were........(names that I know): 4 - Gary Sox Smith - Seniors 7 - Clint Rieper - Open 16 - Eddie Sullivan - Seniors 27 - Charles Ackerman - Seniors 32 - Kobus Potgieter - Seniors 43 - Herman Lombard - Open 46 - Ruan de Lange - Open 48 - Chris Hamman - Silver 56 - Geoff Russell - Masters 57 - Leon Kroucamp - Silver 78 - Corne van Aswegan - Silver 81 - Lourens van Rensburg - Silver 83 - Jarred Lyons - Silver Paul Blignaut - Did not finish (accident)- Masters Well done to them all. Geoff Russell

I notice that you have shown Leon and Lourens exactly why you don't need to attend their off-road training courses ;-) I would be happy if you stayed away from the skills challenge at Nelson's Creek - give the rest of us a chance. Well done you bullet. Website Administrator [http://honeybadger.net Honey Badger IT Services]

Well done Geoff, Never discard father time and experience. Ignore opinions, heed facts. Feet on the pegs, always.

Geoff, Charles reports sudden high traffic on the [http://bmwmotorcycleclubcape.co.za/index.php?q=img_assist/popup/10443 Wupperthal rock pool photo]!!!:-)

LEGENDS ............... Geoff, Chris Hamman and Ruan. Well done to all three of you for your individual success in the recent enduro, sorry I did not congratulate Chris Hamman and Ruan ealier. I was unaware. After reading all the recognition you've got I'm kicking myself for not riding my BMW450 in this first 2009 eduro. I'm going to use all my spare time to get ready for the 7th March, as per Geoffs kind schedule of things to do and prepare for before this event. Chris, I'd like to thank you for assisting me with those handle bar raisers. I'll report back to you once I've tried them. I would also like to know if you have had problems with your plastic pannels on your bike cracking as mine have?? Could we please get an enduro email going that we can all be part of one page. I would love to exchange tips, advice and suggestions with everyone that is doing enduros on the new BMW. I really see many more guys joining this inititive in future. Rusty in the eye of adventure.

One more tip Russel is to shorten the screws holding the radiator shrouds at the bottom. They will puncture your radiator if bent inwards with or without the nice PSP Radiator Brace that is available. As far as the panels go - there is a recall on them, so best you make contact with the dealer.

Now that my hands can type again, well done to all the Bmw riders over the weekend. I must say it was great fun. Believe it or not, Geoff can ride in dust. He hates it but he can. I will have some pics a bit later today

Post the pictures please!!!!!!!!! Don't believe a word about the dust story......!!
