Hi Runner, Quite a lot of us work with the SENA Bluetooth hub. And a cheap Chinese 2-way radio like to Wouxan. There is a hard-wire interface cable to be purchased which is specific to a range of radio handsets, the connector to the radio needs to match the radio jacks. Radio to hub. Once you...

It is kak and there's  a really interesting story to it. Going to ride out especially to spend time with the Tanie who collects the fees, just to get that whole back story. Her dad was Moksie Dun and he pulled the ferry across the Breed for many years because there was no alternative. They grew...

You're talking about a tiny place out in the sticks. Not the ideal world. vulnerability to vandalism etc etc. unskilled operators.... Lets stay real, the slips the only way the council keeps tabs on the frequency of use. it is what it is .  They have given a lot of thought to cameras and...

The pont crossing over the Breede river at Malgas is a ticking bomb and the fuse has been lit. It is the only manually drawn pont crossing and one of only a few pont crossings left operational in South Africa. (Ocha Ferry at Sendelingsdrif over the Orange River, Kei river in the Eastern Cape)...

Yup. The pennant on a pole is a game changer. We have a person in the VOC managing deployment of marshals (GPS tracker units on the bikes) using whatsapp, VHF or telecon to communicate effectively. We receive very good feedback from event participants and organisers about the enhanced...

Thank you all, especially Flying Brick. https://www.edx.co.za/Miniwebs2010/mw.aspx/nu-fiberform/products Nu-Fibre form got the business. Not only the most versatile in terms of what can and cannot be done, but prepared to move fast, courier in time, follow up on the order and delivery and their...

Thanks for the heads up,. Will ask them and check prices and availability.

Thanks Chris, tried all avenues and now waiting on some quotes and possibilities. It seems fishing rod blanks may be the quick solution and the sustainable solution. Will post the results shortly.

Awesome feedback. Thanks very much. I'll report back on the results shortly.

And 'dogs out there that can help point me in the direction of a local supplier for fibreglass whip rods? Looking for the 6mm, 1.8m rods for our event marshaling tasks.

THanks, Anyone driven in the Tankwa since Tuesday?

Schalk, apologies have not read the posts after yours, running for a plane. I have moved many bikes all over the world for adventurers like you. If there is one piece of advice- AVOID BRAZIL entry by sea or AIR. The customs formalities are legion, they have such a bad reputation. Some clients...

Well noted Rob, it is great to have such choices, Medic alert works for me as well- from when I registered as an organ donor. I just thought I'd share MediscanID for the round-earth society as it has a photo and for my buck is better than the ICE stickers one see stuck on bikes and helmets- a...

Something response medics noticed, is that once scanned and accessed, the tel numbers are hyper linked, (is that the right term?), so if you tap on the number, it dials the number. The photo to ID certainly helps. So it's out there, we all have choices. And you decide how you want to give...
