Hi Everyone, My wife and I will be riding Upington to Namibia in the next 2 weeks, just wondering if there are any Wild Dog members in the Upington area may want to meet up? Jack Australia

Any bike riders in SA that are also Ham Radio Operators? Jack, VK4JRC Member SARL

Northern Cape, Free State & Namibia at this stage.

OK, I am looking to buy a GPS for use in SA. Zumo 550 is A$200 more to buy in SA than Australia, but it obviously has SA mapping built in. So, is Africa Series 2008 SA Streetmaps the best mapping to load in the GPS for SA, bearing in mind that most of my riding will be in rural, more remote...

I have rented a bike in SA twice now, for my wife and myself. The machines both times were immaculate and low kilometre (less than 10,000km) The first time in 2005 was an 1150GS and was only fitted with 58 litre plastic panniers and nothing else, the second time was a 1200GS with standard...

Is it worth also considering integration, with those who are HAM radio operators? Using that network may also help.

Thats why I would rather ride the back roads. You need a tank...to drive the NI  ;)

I will make a decision..WHEN I test ride it. Have to say, it looks good!!!

Must be a Global thing :(  I needed a rear Karoo T for my HP2 here in AU, was told that tyre had not been released here in AU at the time, BMW had none. I imported 2 rears from SW Moto in the U.S. with the help of a friend in Arizona. Price landed to me with Air Freight was the approx cost...

At that price I would buy it, in AU that same machine is A$17,500 about R106,000 :'( As usual, we are being ripped off....

A new low rider model on secret testing... ;D

Well...I have just bought a new 1200GS, to haul my lard-ar$e and that of my wife, across the South African landscape ;D KTM don't even go close to making something that will do the job for us...maybe one day. ;D

I don't care how big/strong your cage is.....you don't EVER whan to be hit by a bike doing 150km/h...good chance you or passanger(s) could well end up the same as the bike rider....probably, dead :(

I like to see an upbeat attitude, a friendly hello etc.....something at least makes you feel pleased you are in their premises. Answers to any questions I may have, IF they don't have the answers....fine, just find out and then tell me. Don't just fob me off etc. Personally for me....I like to...

You could do a lot with a Sportster, suspension mods, bash plates etc......the limitation is off road rubber to fit the HD standard size rims. I would throw these on my Sportster, IF they had the sizes. Mitas-E07, I run them on my F650 & K75GS https://www.lprs.com.au/junk/mitas_E_07.jpg
