Got A Fresher Look, What Do YOU Think?

Yes, I know Blogger is the real cheese of platforms to use, but it does the job for me right now. A simple colour change with some cleaning-up has freshened things up nicely. The darkness and bright text needed to go, the change to a lighter reading area is the right one, in my opinion. The blog is a little wider now, the 'About' and 'Contact' pages have been updated and the navigation text is green as a little reminder of the past.

Check out Before/After and please tune me whether you like (1.) or (2.) below:

The colours since her birth in 2009.

(1.) Too light? Texture comes through better.

(2.) Current. Win. What do you think?


Comment on which you prefer, (1.) or (2.) ... and you could win an iPad  (T's and C's apply) smile

Red Bull: Trick Bikers Hit South Africa



French motorbike trials rider, Julien Dupont is Red Bull's, "Jozi Sessions". To be honest, the video is more scenery and posing then insane skills, but it's nice to find Red Bull's extreme sport monkeys doing their thing in South Africa. Looking forward to the Masters of Dirt at Cape Town Bike Festival!





Brian Capper, South African, Supermoto and trials bike champion recently set out to ride over the arch of Durban's, Moses Mabhida Stadium. Nuts, given the fact that his head is much higher from being on a bike, the ±350m ground cover is a narrow stretch of steps and some points are insanely steep.
