I see there are 3 Eastern Cape Dogs considering going, perhaps we should plan to ride down together?

Sounds great. What time do the gates open? Is there a closing date for payment.

Hi Guys, Please accept my most humble apologies, my computer shorted out its charging port and I was only able to get up and running about an hour ago. Also, we have been advised against the Zuurberg pass after the mountain inn due to the road being in very bad condition. So we have changed...

3 or 4 Of us are going to ride from PE to Alicedale, over the mountain to Riebeeck East then along the R400 to Bracefield and then down the Zuurberg Pass (R335) to Addo and then back to PE via Patterson and Colchester. Anybody wants to join us, the more the merrier, reply here or send me a...

When are you planning the trip for. over approximately what period of time Tar or Gravel or mixture. Thanks,

Thanks for the reply Gerrard, I will plan the ride with pleasure. Can also arrange a back up vehicle if necessary. Just trying to gauge the interest and see if any of the Old Dawgs would buy into something like this and if there are enough newbies to make it worthwhile. Thanks...

When I joined the forum I was welcomed by a number of the Eastern Cape dogs and was very grateful for that.  One comment was, "great another one, maybe we can have some more organised rides now." I just seen the newbie rides being arranged in the PTA area.......but haven't seen anything in the...

Looks absolutely amazing, would love to do this event. Have sent an email off to see if there is space and get relevant info. What are the roads like, look mainly like typical gravel roads? Any other info you can provide.... Thanks

Best advice I can give you is to test ride the bikes on your short list.  The pretty ones dont always go as well as they look and the ugly ones often go very well. Test ride with your partner so you can judge power and suspension for yourself. Make sure the bike you buy has suspension that can...

Thanks for the welcomes guys, really very much appreciated. Please could you explain (for a newbie) what the "Friday drinks thread" is or where I can find it :dontknow:.  Would love to have a cup of tea. Might even try pitching in the cage if I knew what it was, pls explain. I enjoy longish...

Hi  Warren, thanks for the advice ! Did you fit the springs only and leave the standard BMW shocks in? Where was the original spring setting at in the front? At what setting did you adjust your new front spring to?  Comparing your weight to mine and my riding style that I provided in my post...

My apologies, meant to say front SHOCK and not fork, adjustable...... :redface:

When I bought my new Trophy Edition I was so excited, that when I was told it did not have ESA I was not too phased.  In fact it was quite attractive as IMHO less electronic buttons / motors / and thingys to go wrong.  In any case after a few rides and reading the manual I have always managed to...

My 2017 LC makes a very similar noise on start up for a second or two and then the ticking all but goes away.  Dealer checked and advised as normal. Checked with other owners and all are more or less the same. Explanation I got and believe is the need for oil to circulate at start up and then...
