...So Girls and Dogs, (weekend bump)
since my original post:
I've fitted the Cylinder protection bars - Looks awesome in newly powder coated black!
I've fitted new Front brake pads
I have an extra brake pad set (rear) as a freebee
...for R 80 000 I'll also have the bike serviced at BMW...
Hi Dogs,
I had a long discussion with my GS over the weekend, ...gonna hang up the GS badge for a few years. :'(
(...too many other fast toys, and relocating to Cape Town)
Bought my GS two years ago from Zambesi. Full Service history ( mostly at Auto Bavaria Centurion )
Much loved and in...
Hi Dogs,
I would suggest replacing your pads yourself to anyone who wishes to save a few $$$ on 'em services.

New Tyres Fitted!! and a quick reconnaissance operation around the block.

(Prior to this it...
Fellow Dogs!

My Dad and I started working on our "Jeep Dream" September 2013.
I saw an add in the AuoTr. "CJ2A Project" R35K ...and Instinctively thought: "Die tyd is NOU! Hierdie is 'n bargain!!"
Phoned my Dad with the words "Ons het 'n problem..."
