Hardy The riverbeds are "flushed" once or twice most years, clearing the tracks made by 4x4's and bikes.  Places like the Marienfluss, the open plains between Huarusib and Hoanib rivers, the endless gravel flats north of Orupembe, etc. etc. takes decades to recover from vehicle tracks.  Some of...

I have said this before in a different thread, but the amount of off-track riding that is allowed on these trips is not cool!!  Some of those new tracks will be visible for years to come.  I am not talking about the riverbed riding around Purros etc.  I really think the tour operator should...

Am I the only one here that is concerned about the added track pollution in that area by the regular bike trips that seem to go through there recently?  In most of these Kaokoland ride reports there are photos of the bikes riding off the established tracks, or next to it.  Places like the...

Losper Thanks! To answer your questions: 1. Where are your friends riding from?  Knysna.  Maybe enter Sani side after doing some EC passes enroute.  Exit Freestate side. 2. You mentioned 5 days, is that 5 days in Lesotho or 5 days from home to home?  5 Days inside Lesotho. 3. How big is the...

Howzit Dogs Mate of mine wants to do his first trip to Lesotho and is looking for some advice.  I have not been there, so I can't really help.... so here I am.... asking them clever folk!!  :deal: The idea is to do a "Best of Lesotho" trip for a first time visitor.  They will be on heavy ADV...

Interesting snippet of useless info...... the existence of this snake was first reported in the Eastern Cape Herald newspaper, from there the name.

What software do you use to create the moving map sections?

Verstaan Bie!  :thumleft:  Nee fok.  Klink na te veel moeite.  Ek gaan maar eerder dan 'n tjoppie by Checkers kry.  Sommer dalk 'n worsie ook.  :biggrin: Ek dink net steeds daar is 'n duisend scenarios waar 'n (onwettig - moet nie dit vergeet nie) geslote hek probleme kan veroorsaak.  Bv. 'n...

So let me understand this clearly..... four hardened criminals are en route to your farm in their bakkie to steal some sheep and / or attack you at your residence.  They drive a few km's down the gravel road and then get to your locked 3 foot farm gate....  oh no.... what now.... they have a...

Went for a test run this morning..... I like! Some thoughts: - Weight feels similar to the 800.  Definitely feels lighter than the AT and 1090R. - Love the motor!  Nice sound and quite torquey.  Very smooth in the mid-range. - Suspension really impressed me off-road.  Although not adjustable. ...

Correct.  As far as I can gather, the standard kit includes: - TFT screen with connectivity; - Quickshifter; - Ride by wire; - Cruise Control; - LED indicators and daytime running lights; - Heated Grips; - ABS & TC; - ESA; - GPS bracket for Navigator / Zumo660; - Centrestand. - not sure about...

I think it is different strokes.... some guys are prepared to pay for the quickshifter and TFT and cruise control and stuff, while others do not want that kind of thing.  Life would be boring if we were all the same.

Why would you call it a "questionable Chinese motor"?  Surely that is a premature assessment?  We should realise by now that most things come from China these days, and that it is all about the spec and quality control.  Your BMW Rallye suit comes from China.  So does your iPhone, Dell...

Wow.  Didn't even notice that!!  I like bananas.....  :munky2:
