Don’t Touch Me On My Studio
So peoples ... we finally discover someone on the same level as Julius. AWB General
Secretary, Andre Visagie, looses temper and threatens when interrupted by Political
Analyst Lebohang Pheko, during the Wednesday 7 April 2010 recording of the program,
Africa 360, hosted by Chris Maroleng. This outburst has slowly but surely become
an internet craze, with ringtones and songs already produced. Anyways ... I needed
to post this, coz ... it's fucking hilarious! Is this another Julius Malema.
REMEMBER: Don't touch me on my studio.
You guys hear what happened in Ventersdorp the day the court case started… apparently
the cops had to separate everyone with barbed wire… all the whites were singing
Die Stem… all the blacks were singing kill the boer… and the 6 coloured’s there
were in the middle singing Make the circle Beega!!
STOLEN CAR!
Good morning people
On the 1st April 2010 our Nissan Sabre 200GXI was stolen form Heathfield station.
The vehicle has been listed with the SAPS.
I appeal to you to please call me immediately (0741 228 222) if you do happen to
see the car anywhere. If you have seen the car somewhere and thought it was my folks
driving (after 1st April) then please let me know.
I also appeal to you, that if you should see the car then please
DO NOT
approach the occupants or show that you recognize the vehicle.
This vehicle is now a code 6 which means that the police will shoot to affect an
arrest.
I would not like anyone to be hurt by being associated in some way with its recovery.
I have attached a pic to refresh your memory and to show the number plate (CA88966).
I sincerely doubt that we will recover this car but this is more to create awareness
so that you do not approach the vehicle and question the occupants.
Distinguishing markings:
- Dakar yellow
- Tinted windows
- Towbar
- Think bike sticker on right side of rear bumper.
- Dropped suspension
Thanks and Regards>

News ... you can use!
So ... I'm always getting really interesting articles on biking (or related to),
which I never put up on the site. WTF!!! This is a biker site ... and in the biking
world, there's a helava lot going on. So ... here's some news directly related to
those 2 wheels ... that move the soul!
World's most powerful superbike
The world is a currently quite a dangerous place. Wars. Natural disasters. Bakkies
Botha cleaning you out at a ruck. There are any number of ways to get killed not
quite natural causes. Of all these though, catching a Vyrus is the most heroic.
Not, it’s not a typo, the Vyrus is former Bimota employee Ascanio Rodorigo’s interpretation
of what a proper superbike should constitute.
Newfangled steering set-up
Perusing the image galley you’ve probably noticed it lacks a traditional front-fork
arrangement, substituting it for a radical hub-centre-steering set-up.
Considering the Vyrus 987 C3 4V’s 155kW supercharged Ducati 1198cc V-twin engine,
you had better have a childlike sense of faith in the engineering integrity of this
low-volume Italian superbike and its curious steering configuration...
Good power-to-madness ratio
The Vyrus C3 4V is light too (only 163kg) thanks a generous amount of carbon-fibre
weaved into its construction. Factoring that nearly every individual kg is partnered
by its own part kW, we would surmise it’s rather quick. Expensive too.
Rodorigo believed the Vyrus C3 4V’s hub-centre-steering configuration (which prevents
squat and dive under braking) is inherently more stable than conventional forks
and easily up to task of taming the suicidal power output.
If you’d like one Rodorigo’s creations (they do, after all, boast the title of world’s
most powerful production bike) be prepared to part $100 000, and in all likelihood,
your life soon after ...

Suzuki leads after stunning Oz WSB opener
New Suzuki signing Leon Haslam won the first of the weekend's World Superbike races
at the Phillip Island circuit near Melbourne, Australia in a photo finish and was
second in a thrilling Race 2.
He is leading the 2010 championship with 45 points after one meeting.
It took a long look at the photo-finish image to split Suzuki rider Leon Haslam
from race-long rival Michel Fabrizio (Ducati) but in the end the Suzuki rider was
declared the winner - by 0.004 sec. Fabrizio was originally named as the winner
of the opening round of the 2010 series on the Phillip Island circuit near Melbourne,
Australia Noriyuki Haga took a Ducati to third. Haslam, son of 1970's GP rider "Rocket"
Ron Haslam, added his first career win to his first pole start - in his first outing
for Suzuki.
Noriyuki Haga took a Ducati to third after following the leading battle closely
throughout.
Jonathan Rea (Honda), Max Biaggi (Aprilia), Sylvain Guintoli (Suzuki) and Carlos
Checa (Ducati) battled over fourth, finishing in that order and covered by less
than a second, with Jakub Smrz (Ducati), Troy Corser (BMW)and Lorenzo Lanzi (Ducati)
completing the top 10.
Race 2
Carlos Checa (Ducati) won a thrilling second race by only 0.307sec from Leon Haslam
after making the decisive move on the final section of the circuit.The lead changed
hands seven times in 22 laps as Haslam and team mate Sylvain Guintoli (riding in
only his fourth World Superbike race) fought it out with veteran Checa and seasoned
works Ducati rider Michel Fabrizio. The top four finished within 0.837sec.
Fabrizio got by Guintoli two laps from the end but couldn't make a pass on the leaders
- although all four finished within 0.837sec! Ducati team leader Noriyuki Haga was
a lonely fifth, 2.6sec behind the battle for the lead but eight seconds clear of
Honda's Jonathan Rea, who got the best of an exciting, eight-way midfield battle
for sixth.
That puts Haslam nine points ahead of Fabrizio in the points standings on 45 and
36 respectively, with Checa third on 34.
Our friends ... the GHOST SQUAD
So ... we've all been hearing, reading and seeing these fine gentlemen and ladies
in and about Cape Town. Fortunately ... I haven't been stopped by them in a while.
I make a mental note every morning before I rush to work to look out for unmarked
(mostly white)
CCT registration vehicles. And when
travelling by 4 wheels, I normally keep my camera on the seat and 5 out of 10 times
... I manage to snap a pic or 2 of them.
Shame ... just read the other day that a second Golf VI was written off chasing
a biker. Biker was caught though ...
REMEMBER: CCT
Here's some snaps I've taken.

BIKE stickers on their 4 wheel cages. This is only possible because
of people like you spreading awareness amongst friends and family. Well done.
Our final thought ... goes out to our injured brothers and their families. To Kurt
and Graham ... you and your families are constantly in our thoughts and prayers.
We wish you both a speedily recovery.
