Hi ZAR Will a VSTROM 1000 be able to handle the dirt roads there and back?

Hi guys Myself and 2 friends are planning a ride to Katse dam the weekend of 22 March.  We will be leaving Krugersdorp on 21 March and plan to sleep over in Clarens the night of the 21st.  We then want to enter Lesotho at Fouriesburg on the 22nd and ride to Katse dam to sleep over in Lesotho...

Hi So far I am definitely in - would be good to see how to do some home maintenance on my litle baby

Hi Gunda A friend of mine got a new BMW that we would like to "break-in" this weekend - do you have tracks of gravel roads in/around the krugersdorp area? Would really appreciate the assistance.

Hi I have a 2009 KLR 650 still with the standard sprockets on.  I am thinking of putting on a new front sprocket with one more tooth - I want lower the revs at highway speed, hopefully thereby reducing oil usage on long trips. Will this work - should I rather go smaller on the rear sprocket...

Hi Is anyone welcome to the tech day? If so, what are the arrangements in terms of time/food/drink etc.

OK, so thinking of buying a good secondhand DL 1000 - my citeria is as follows: - nothing older than 2008 model; - no more than 25000km on the clock; - full service history with suszuki. Does anyone have such a DL that they would want to part with? Have already checked the commercial section...
