New from Pretoria, South Africa.

Postby Duane » Sun Jul 13, 2014 6:31 pm

Greetings from an unusually cold South Africa! Almost done with a restoration on a very neglected '04 BCR (very few of those in these parts of the woods!). The bike was too special to slip through my paws, so I decided to get the old girl back to her former glory.

Thanks for all of the invaluable information on this site thus far that has assisted me over the past 3 months. I will post a pic or two when I'm done with the project.

Right, off to the 'spex and 'tech forums to shoot off the questions that I cannot find answers to on the forum!

Thanks in advance for any help offered. Until later... Braaaaaaaaap!

:D

Thanks for the greetings Gents.

Aan al die Oud Suid Afrikaners, ons mis julle. Ons bier is nogsteeds koud, en die biltong en braai nog smul lekker. Kom kuier gerus weer asseblief!

To the rest, we offer warm hospitality if you ever decide to come and visit. Don't be shy to drop a line - I specialise in watching African Sunsets after a day's ride, over a little scotch.
