    BikerJan plans a Mancave

    Daai "mancave" gaan groter en mooier wees as Klerksdorp se KTM handelaar. [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787] Lyk uitstekend. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    the tale of my 1190 RRRRRRRR

    I haven't gotten around to the wrap yet. Been too busy racking up mileage. I got her on 8000km when she was just under 2 years old. I've put on 6000km in the 2.5 months I've had her. [emoji23] I also had to sell my Jeeps first to free up some capital. One down, one left to go, then I can do the...

    SHOW US PICS OF YOUR PETS - Poll added

    I feel your pain. My ex rescued a kitten against my wishes (I'm allergic to cats, and own a rotte and a boerboel that hate cats). But the little bugger crept into my heart. At first I named it Ding, because I didn't want it getting named and staying. That developed into Liefieding, and she would...

    Why would a bike blow out coolant?

    Congrats. Hopefully this one restores your faith in the orange beasts. They are truly amazing machines. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    What is your dreambike?s

    Agreed. Just wish the price wasn't over R700k. [emoji15] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    New to me 1290R

    That's a beautiful machine. Congrats. And I would also listen to Alfie's advice. [emoji16] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    Brake pads sintered or ceramic??

    I don't touch the rear on tar. The ABS is meant to decided how much front and back are needed. Back brake is for sliding on gravel only. [emoji6] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    1090R - Questions

    The 1090 is a solid bike. The only thing I want to reiterate is the tyre budget. Buy 5 at a time. All tyres fitted to these things turn to marshmallow within 5 minutes. I've done 5000km, and I need to buy my 3rd rear tyre this week. Personally, I'm not a fan of the harder Heidenaus and other...

    2 weeks for Namibia by 4x4 SUV

    I love the Lonely Planet books. The link below isn't quite as detailed as the book, but it has a ton of good info. Maybe try order the book. https://www.lonelyplanet.com/namibia Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    KTM 790 ADVENTURE

    While I agree with what it looks like, I think I'll reserve judgement until the bike comes out. Or maybe even the second version where they've fixed the inevitable problems. [emoji6] Luckily I just bought my 1190, so I'm OK to wait another year or two before my ass itches. If it's as bad as it...

    Life in America - We made the move.

    I heard an interesting bit of advice from a very interesting source. I watched a Google Talk by Frank Abagnale (the person Catch Me If You Can was about) yesterday. All 1 hour and 8 minutes of it. It was that good. But anyway. In the Q&A afterwards, they asked him what one piece of advice he...

    KTM ADV Rallye Swaziland 23 Aug to 26 Aug 2018

    Tie a petrol soaked rag to a long piece of rope behind your bike, and light it as you go through the area. I want to see if that "fire-fighting pool" works.  :pot:

    Life in America - We made the move.

    That's not a bad idea for security here in SA. Maybe pull up the stairs at night like a drawbridge and have some crocodiles in the garden. [emoji23] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    Why would a bike blow out coolant?

    I actually just asked him to do the service instead of letting an appy do it. He ignored me, and it cost the dealership a customer and an engine. But what would I know? I was just the sales manager. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk
