    For sale: Evolution road adventurer Jacket and pants

    Can't remember the size, but I'm 1.75m tall and weigh 74kg and it fits me perfectly. With armour, winter and water layers. Jacket used for a season, pants just 3 times so they'relike new. Cost me R6k but make me an offer. Sunninghill, Johannesburg.

    Just completed 10,000km on electric bikes.

    Generally anything you buy from a vendor is going to be terribly underpowered. The eZee kit is a 250w motor. About the same as a person can put out. I have 5500w and 6500w respectively. I don't know what's inside their batteries, but even their biggest battery is only 518wh. On my small bike i...

    SWAMBO left the gate open last night...

    Glad you guys are happy. One of the great things about selling your bike to another dog is that you still get to see the adventures it goes on.

Another big plus with electric is the torque. That little bike has over 120Nm of torque at 0 rpm. This is higher than a 1200gs...

    2005 Yamaha TW200 - sold

    The time has come to sell my fantastic little TW. We've had a lot of fun together, been to interesting places, and had some fantastic rides. I love this bike, it's like a friendly little dog, so I feel bad about not taking it out to play as often as I used to. The reason for that is that I've...

    Anyone know where I can find a machine shop?

    Need to have some strengthening arms attached to my bicycle which must be strong and fit quite precisely. Anyone know where I can find a decent machine shop to do that? Close to sandton if possible. Thanks.
