How do you keep cool on your Motorcycle in summer?

Now let’s look at what we can do to keep your body cool. One way, an extreme way, is to buy an external device that gets mounted on your motorcycle that blows cold air on your body. In other words, an air conditioning for motorcycles. Believe it or not, they do exist.

In Israel, a country that is usually very hot, they are building exactly such a device. Called Entrosys (http://entrosys.com/). It’s an air conditioner that sits on your bike and blows cold air inside your jacket. But it’s a very expensive solution, you can’t take a pillion and it can really only be used if you commute everyday through Death Valley.

BUT we are not in Israel, so we do it the South African way!

http://entrosys.com/http://entrosys.com/https://jafrum.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/entrosys-airco.jpg

STAY COVERED Ever seen a picture of a Touareg tribesman in the Sahara? He’s covered from head to foot. Only soon-to-be-broiled tourists go out wearing shorts and a T-shirt. Riding a bike through hot air is like standing in front of a blow dryer.

VENTING Controlled airflow is your friend—especially through your helmet, gloves, and jacket. Look for clothing with vents you can zip open.

HYDRATE YOURSELF When your bike runs low on fluids, it seizes up. So do you. 80% of your body consists of water. When you realize you need water it is already too late. Symptoms of dehydration: Increased thirst, dry mouth and swollen tongue, weakness, dizziness, palpitations (feeling that the heart is jumping or pounding), confusion, sluggishness and fainting.

TAKE FREQUENT BREAKS you need to rest your body and take time to hydrate yourself.

At last an affordable compact chair ideal for adventure motorcyclists, walkers, cyclists,

campers & just about any outdoor activity.

Simple to use:

Assembles and breaks down in under a minute.

The frame is constructed with specially strengthened aircraft grade anodized

aluminum rods that are all connected with an internal shock cord system.

As soon as you remove it from its bag, the frame begins to snap itself together.

Once the frame is snapped together simply connect the seat cover.

This internal shock cord system also ensures the frame stays in one piece when

breaking down, ensuring there are no loose poles to worry about.

Done. In less than a minute!

Comfort:

Most light weight camping chairs either have little or no back support and often are

very close to the ground.

The EzSeat has been designed to provide a comfortable back support allowing you to

recline in your chair, with ease.

Additionally the back support is purposely angled relatively upright, allowing the neck

to remain in a comfortable position, reducing the need to crane forward. The

benefits of this seating position ensure you can easily eat or read without needing to

readjust your position.

Seat height is 40cm above the ground allowing you to also stretch your legs while the

mesh backing provides effective ventilation.

The mesh backing also allows the seat cover to dry quickly should it get wet.

Specifications:

Assembled: 54 cm wide X 52 cm deep X

69 cm high

Packed: 35 cm long X 10 cm wide X 12

cm high

Weight: 890 grams (960 gm with tote bag with daisy chain webbing ladder for

attaching to pack/bike pannier/kayak etc)

Maximum Weight Capacity: 145 kg.

R 850.00

Built to last:

The frame is made from a specially

strengthened aircraft grade anodized

aluminum which ensures it is not only

light and strong but as important

totally rust resistant.

Use it on the beach or when fishing

near salt water with absolute

confidence.

The seat cover is constructed from

durable 600D fabric (the same used

in motorcycle jackets) with reinforcing

panels and double stitching at stress

points.

The included carrying bag has various

loops and daisy chains allowing you to

carry it or secure to just about

anything including the chair itself, on

bike panniers, top boxes, back packs

etc.

Strong, durable double stitching at

I wonder what this tiny seahorse perceives when he looks at his own reflection? Does he see

himself as tiny and cute or does he see himself as a mighty sea monster?

(Seahorse is the title given to forty-seven species of marine fish in the genus Hippocampus.

"Hippocampus" comes from the Ancient Greek hippos meaning "horse" and kampos meaning "sea

monster".)

The Milspec Sport Khaki Coal is another new industry first. Motor industry trends may have changed from light beige to black interiors but we at Caprrivi appreciate the fact that here are many that still prefer a khaki tan interior. The hidden flip-tone provides a golden khaki-black contrast which neutrally uplifts and enhances the aesthetic appeal of either a beige or complete black interior.

The Milspec Sport Charcoal new tight plain weave textured black and grey speckled canvas is an industry first providing a neutral sporty appearance.

Caprivi’s Heritage Range exudes opulence and quality with

rugged practicality for those discerning clients that prefer

something special!

The Heritage Range is offered in either Charcoal or Khaki Coal

Milspec Canvas with a choice of either Black or Cognac 2mm

thick self-healing boot leather.

Birthday - Louis Braille (1809-1852) was born in France. Blinded as a boy, he later invented a reading system for the blind using

punch marks in paper.

Birthday - Elvis Presley (1935-1977) was born in Tupelo, Mississippi.

Birthday - Muhammad Ali was born in Louisville, Kentucky, January 17, 1942 (as Cassius Clay). At age 22 in 1964, he knocked

out Sonny Liston to win the world heavyweight boxing championship, shouting out "I shook up the world!" After converting to the

Muslim religion, the boxing superstar became an outspoken conscientious objector (on religious grounds) to America's escalating

involvement in the Vietnam War and refused military duty upon being drafted. As a result, he was stripped of his boxing title,

banned from boxing, and subsequently jailed. After a long legal battle, his conviction was reversed and he regained the

championship in 1974 by defeating George Foreman. In the early 1980s, after retiring from boxing, Ali revealed his new struggle

with Parkinson's disease. However, he has remained active, devoting himself to various philanthropic and humanitarian causes.

Birthday - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791) was born in Salzburg, Austria. From the age of five, through his untimely death

at age 35, this musical genius created over 600 compositions including 16 operas, 41 symphonies, 27 piano and five violin

concerti, 25 string quartets, 19 masses, and many other works.

Birthday – Andrea Bantjes (19something) Safari 4x4.

Die maand fokus ons op Andrea Bantjes. Een woord om haar te beskryf – pragtig! Andrea is ‘n “lady” en met haar sagte aanslag raak sy almal se harte aan. MAAR Andrea skroom nie om haar boots aan te trek en op haar R1200GS LC stof in die oë van menigte mans te skop nie. Andrea is die “ma” van Safari 4x4 en is ‘n goeie luisteraar wat onpartydig raad uitdeel. Dankie Andrea vir wie jy is en wat jy vir ons almal doen en beteken.

12v winches are some of the most effective tools you can have fitted to your 4x4. Perfect for pulling your 4x4 out of a bog, up a hill or through a section that isn't save to

drive. Winches are also useful tools used for removing fallen trees of other obstacles blocking

your path. Over the years Ironman 4x4 has spent significant time developing and improving its range

of winches. With the only winches in the market to come from the factory with a breather on the motor

as well as many other class leading features. Never leave home again without the security and peace of mind offered by an Ironman 4x4

winch.

Got stuck in die the mud?

Geestelike Pitkos GOD SE BELOFTE

JESAJA 40:28 “Weet jy dan nie, het jy nog nie gehoor nie? Die Here is die ewige God, Skepper van die hele aarde. Hy word nie moeg nie, Hy raak nie afgemat nie en Sy insig is ondeurgrondelik.”

1) ASK GOD FOR WISDOM AND GUIDANCE

Every day we are confronted with a large number of decisions in the workplace. How much easier

would it be if we had God’s wisdom when making decisions? In James 1:5 we read: “If any of you

lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be

given to you.” In Proverbs 3:5-6, it is written: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on

your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” And

in Isaiah 30:21, we find the promise: “Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear

a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’” Not only does God want to protect us from

taking wrong decisions, He wants to guide us in making right ones.

2) ACT WITH INTEGRITY

In Hebrews 4:13 we read: “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight.” In Deuteronomy 25:

15-16 we read: “For the Lord your God detests anyone who . . . deals dishonestly.” When we start

living with an awareness that God knows every thought and action in our lives, it becomes easier to

try and act with integrity at all times, knowing that He will be glorified when we do it.

3) REMEMBER WHO YOU WORK FOR

God is our true Employer. We will therefore have to give account before Him for everything we have

done. In Ephesians 6: 6 we read: “Obey them not only to win their favor when their eye is on you,

but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from your heart. ”And in Colossians 3:23 it is written,

“Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.”

Let us remember that our actions speak louder than our words. The majority of our colleagues will

know that we are Christians even if we never speak about it. Our actions however will either inspire

or put an unbelieving or lukewarm colleague off from wanting to know God better, or totally refrain

from it. Let us ask God to lead us by His Holy Spirit throughout the day to shed light, bring hope

and inspire others to get to know Him more intimately. God bless.

Father God, thank you that I can have a job. Lead me to consistently act with wisdom and integrity

whilst reminding myself that I work for You and not people. I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ.

Amen.
