Title: Hi there from Sarfefrica
Post by: Estoma on March 01, 2014, 07:37:57 AM
Hi there All,

Nico du Plooy from Vanderbijlpark in South Africa reporting for... questions, pearls of wisdom and the occasional (if not more frequent) tonque-in-the-cheek remarks.

Although I have been riding bike since '74, there has been a period of roughly 20 years (up to recently) that I did not physically own a bike - a long story, about a good bottle of whisky long in fact.

Well, 'catch-up time' has finally arrived!  I bought a new 1100 EVO late last year (no choice since I am NOT a fan of the new 1200/1200S Water Buffalos) and I am about to pull the trigger on a new KTM 1190 Adventure (not the R).

Otherwise; happy to be here.

Welcome Nico.
I am also a fan of the air cooled bikes.
This is a great international forum with excellent sections on tech matters and modifications.
Welcome from Australia due to my insomnia!

Sup Cuz! Welcome!
I'm picking up my Monster Diesel next weekend.
Also a fan of the 1100 air cooled and especially the Look of the Monster...and the Diesel was the one I always wanted.

Good you're back in the saddle!
I'm in Edenvale area. Must go for a ride sometime!
