RobC, if I understand correctly - I must not accept the fact that it is uneconomical to repair the bike and therefor not sign the agreement of loss. They must sue the other party to get the bike repaired regardless of cost? (This can take months  :o)

I am very grateful! I fitted a Metzeler Tourance a week or so before - R1400.00 down the drain...  :(

It was around 8H50 on Friday morning (29/05/2009) and I am on my way to the office. I was traveling in the right hand lane, approaching a four way crossing and there were vehicles waiting to turn. The robot turn orange and I decided to stop. Just as I stopped I felt this bumped from behind. The...

Thank you Wolweseun. I have sent you a PM

I have done 10k kilos on a set of Heidenau K60 (50/50) tyres on my 650GS. The back needs replacing and the front will do another 10k (...or so it looks in comparison). There are no K60 (50/50) stock available for the next three to four weeks. I commute 70km per day into town of which 8km is on...

Hi My BM's left hand mirror went to ground on the gravel road. BMW ask R621.00 for a new one. The discussions on the forum shows there are not any after market options.  I saw this option on the web (R220 for a new one) https://www.bmwmotorcycleclubcape.co.za/mirrors-and-mirror-mountings  ...

Hmmmm?  ??? When the bike is switched off, the trip meter and clock resets only if the power supply from the battery is interrupted. Check fuse first then battery voltage and wiring. In my bike's case, the male pin (pin 1 of the plug at the back of the instrument panel) was burned and I...

Saw in the mirror how my topbox was dancing between the cars. My "groceries" all over the road  :-[ Lesson learned - zip-up those "groceries" in carry bag.  It is easier to gather between moving cars... :eek7:

Soos ek reeds vir jou gesê het. Die storie is met gevoel geskryf en ek kan daarmee identifiseer. Uitstekende skryfstyl! "Fighting a bull and not being afraid is nothing" "But, fighting a bull while being afraid is something!"

More Skim, welkom op die forum! Wys vir ons 'n pic van jou op die bike man...

Dankie vir die foto's Colyn en Skillie (as ek nou so kyk lyk dit my iemand het agter my gekyk  ::) ). Ek het te hard op die pad gekonsentreer om agter te kom my agterent is seer. My vingers was die volgende dag seer! Thank you Cave Girl, Adventurer and jackD (why would I need a barber?)

On the 14th of July I did the novice course at the BMW Rider Academy. I bought a motorcycle in Bethlehem from HentieBM and rode it back home (756km's) with Skillie and Colyn (on his new LT). To top it all I am the proud owner of a learners licence. Now I use the bike to commute to work. Here...

Skoeterkie!! ??? Skillie, noem jy 'n 650GS 'n skoeterkie?!! Hy mag almeskie tweedehans wees maar.. &%$!! (so 'n meerderwaardige GSA pilot!!)  ;D Thank you for all your welcome messages. Yes, tomorrow is the start of a new adventure for me as Skillie, Colyn, Wiehann and myself are heading off...

Welkom Veldskoen! Ek sien hierdie paar skoene het al 'n pad geloop. Vertel ons meer...

Thank you all. I already feel right at home... As a new motorcyclist I need a motorcycle that I can trust. A BM needs a service only every 10000km. As an example, Kawa Versys every 3000km (info from the dealer). I take these small details into account when I make a buying decision. "Buying...
