Castrol Edge Sport 10W60 was suggested for oil replacement on a >50000km F800. After a few hundred kilometers running with this oil, now all of a sudden when engine runs for about 40km oil warning light sometimes comes on. Could this be an oil type problem?
SW Junior drove way too fast in town and lost bike around corner. Both are OK now. I repaired bike myself at less than R3k, but son's repairs cost a lot more - over & above those covered by medical aid. Glad he's OK, and he seems more cautious after this incident.
I'd really like to know all the comments on your way about the baboon skull on Wouter's bike - especially from the chap chained to tree (before your refueling at Malange).
Ai-jai-jai! Wat 'n trip! Mens het nog nie geleef as jy nie 'n boek daaroor kan skryf nie. Hopelik een van die dae weer in Suid-Kaap, dan kuier ons = kan nie wag om Wouter se stories te hoor nie. Cheers, SW.
@spoedvark - the bike is registered in Mosselbay, my other vehicles as well. I had the choice of registering my vehicles in either Nelspruit(where I mostly work) or Mossel Bay(hometown), so I decided on the latter. I had a Moto Guzzi 850 Le Mans that was changed into a McCormic tractor many...
Feedback - Got that Ducati and also changed the appearance of the KLR (because of accident). See attached link.

I wonder how many of my trips trips started by staring at a road map, some while occupying a toilet seat?

Returned to Nelspruit on Oct 8. Had a great trip! Did the Baviaans, Prince Alfred Pass & 7-passes with Wouter Brand (Tracks 4 Africa). Spent some time building cottage on the Groot-Brak farm. Worst part of trip was a mother of a north-western wind in the Karoo & Free State on my way to...
