    ..its a red one Grumpy and I suspect it was imported to South Africa via  Europe-the warning label/sticker on the petrol tank is in Italian? :034:

    Red! Oh well, nobodies perfect!  :038: Interesting that your bike came from Italy, is there not an official Suzuki importer for your area?

    Hi Sailor, how much of an old fogy are you? what part of Joburg are you from?

    Not that much Lennairn :008: I guess the fact that I'm a huge Big Country fan gave it away?The old fogy quip is in reference to what my niece said to me a while back.....I got onto a motorcycle-for the first time in my life- five years ago at the age of 38 and when she saw me on it she said:'uncle you're too old fashioned to ride a motorbike..are you having a midlife crisis?"  and I replied :"no a Harley Davidson is a midlife crisis- a Suzuki en125 is a financial crisis" :008:

    I live at Johannesburg south-its the the oldest part Joburg

     :008:  I stand to be corrected but I believe that the official importers ,trading as Suzuki  SA, are owned by the same French company who are also the official importers in France.They have a number of  dealerships across the country and the  one I went to didn't have any inazumas in stock.The dealer asked me which colour he should order and I said to him I didn't mind as long as it was delivered the next day!

    Not really into aircraft, but i was bought a flight in a Tiger Moth a couple of years ago.

    They even let you take control for a few minutes :062:

    Great trip, tho wether I'd agree again to barrel rolls and loops is debatable :005: :008:

    Many years ago, for my 50th birthday, my wife and sons got me a trip on the old Junkers SAA museum plane that used to give flights from Lanseria, The only plane that I've been on that had opening windows!! :001:
