Interesting thing, I used my Samsung phone for all the pictures. It is slim enough to fit in my jacket's pocket, and with the power outlet added on my KLR (I also installed one on Houbie's KLR) I could charge it whenever. Managed to get a couple of nice snaps with it.

I (and many of my D/S friends on this forum) was in that Highschool matric 2003, and rode our little 125s to school and back on that same road for many years... This is so sad, his whole life was ahead of him. From experience I know the school will stand by the learners and support them through...

What a trip - thanks Hobie. @ RobC - bike sorted with your guys' help what a great forum. Took my car in for a service and spent past 2 weeks on KLR did about 1200km never missed a beat back to about 20kml. Great stuff! Had to put on my standard KLR pipe, the so called performance pipe is so...

Hi Guys, Good news the beast lives again  :) I stripped the whole carb and sprayed a bottle of carb cleaner on all the parts, made sure all the pilot holes were clean, checked the needle and vacuum seal. Must say everything looked quite clean before I cleaned it but it might have been small...

Thanks for all the replies guys. I have cleaned the air filter and I have completely removed the choke cable and checked the needle at the end of the cable it is OK. I have now removed the carb completely and drained the drain bowl, most was clear but some small darker bits looked like oil /...

Hi dogs, Returned home today after a week long trip with Hobie clockwise around Lesotho on the SA side, I have a issue with my bike, it is a 2009 model new shape, and I have never had issues with it before. It is on 23k km and I have ridden most of it. After about 1200km on the trip (we ride...

Last week Saturday my main headlight blew (I have a 2009 model with 2 x globes). I have always had problems with the poor lights on the KLR and manually set my headlight to shine lower, otherwise every oncoming car flashes me. I rode my KLR through the Karoo last year from CT to PTA and it was...

Was fun - we need to do it again. Was quite surprised I made it through the mud with my Anakees

To all KTM guys, someone on a big (990?) KTM cruised past me and Houbie on the dirtroad around Loskopdam nature reserve today at around 10am-ish. About 5km later near the location I spotted and picked up a very nice leatherman in a pouch, I am sure it is yours? PM me if this is yours and we can...

Driving on the N1 from Pretoria I was hit with a very sad sight - a biker knocked down, laying facing up with a whole swarm of paramedics stabilizing him. Every time I see this my heart shrink and I think, if only motorists can be made more aware... THEN, just a few kms on, still thinking about...

Now thats a nice pic - it is the exact opposite of my office :)

Wait - whaaat? :) We should get together and do a ride.. play the deja-vu effect, people will be very confused!  :imaposer: Love your colour-choice!
