I had my BMW F850GS insured with PSG (Santam) with a monthly premium of R1300 which is quite expensive for a bike with a retail value of R159000. I had my policy reviewed for a better premium and they gave me a R100/month discount:( I tried Auto & General where my car and house contents are...

Dankie Johan ek sal probeer maar ek glo dit is meer 'n throttle response issue as n traction control issue. Ek hoop ek is verkeerd(y)

Nee Johan ek wissel maar tussen dynamic of enduro pro mode. Bedoel jy ek moet stel aan die throttle response in enduro pro setting? Ek glo nie die traction control het enige invloed nie.

Johannes I took my 850 on gravel roads for the first time about 2 weeks ago. When my friends ask me how I find the bike on gravel the first thing I say is that I kinda miss the slipping of the back wheel when accelerating as my old 800 did. My 800 had a off-road setting but still allowed for...

Thanks Johan that is a good price, I think BMW charge around R3000 if my memory serves me right.

Hi Guys Took my 850 on my first gravel road trip over the weekend, what a pleasure. Question for you guys: I deflated my tyres to 1.8bar and the bike gives me that loud red warning "tyre pressure does not match setpoint". I eventually succeeded to switch of the Target pressure warning in the...

Ek toer saam👌

Hi guys, used PlastRX from Meguiars to brighten up my screen and headlight protector again. It works quite well to get plastics shiny again, although it does not remove the deeper scratches. On 2nd photo the left side of the screen is polished to show the difference.

You can relax 2SD I am referring to the beautiful scenery of Madagascar.

In her latest video the first bit through the boabab trees were so beautiful it almost looked unreal:love:

Thanks Johan I am going to sound very stupid...is DM personal message and how do I send it via wilddogs? I am in Kuilsrivier Western Cape, never heard of Pudo,s before but will google(y)

Jip it is a bigger screen with a weird type of fitting that I have not seen before....thankful for the bigger screen. Ok thanks I will give your fitting a go, if I don't re-locate the gps it is always a nice spot to mount a GoPro. My screen and light protector are quite "dof" comparing to my...

Hi Johan This is how my screen looks, not sure if your mount will fit.
