+1 on this - I have my dipped beam 'regular' and my high beam orange. So I can kind of see at night and there's the bright orange light for my fellow motorists.

Awesome, thanks guys.

Did I post this in the wrong section or am I missing something obvious?  ???

So after more than 27,000 km the original tires on my F800 are shot. As I do 90%+ on tar commuting I was thinking of replacing the Butterwings with Anakee 2s. Who stocks these tires in Jozi? Someone to supply and fit at a reasonable price?

I ride that stretch of highway daily on my way to work in town. I've seen cops on bikes on there too. Been riding it for two years already, nothing wrong with it. No idea if it's legal. At the Mooi Street onramp they also have the no bikes sign.

That's a pretty cool motorcycle - was is something like this worth?

I'm not sure I'm understanding the message clearly - the less petrol you use the bigger the impact of the tolls on your budget?

I should have stated it more clearly - I'm not saying no to facebook - I joined the group myself. I'm saying we should consider Twitter too - you can reach people who aren't joined to the existing Facebook group.

Once the site is up we need to use social media to distribute - I'm thinking of Twitter, in addition to the Facebook group. I follow some of the 702 guys and other media people. I'll forward the link to them and retweet if it comes back. I suggest those who also use the service do something...

Can we set up a distribution group via pm or better via email? This way we'll know what events are happening.

I really think people create the problem or at least greatly aggravate it. I was at my local filling station last night and people were queued up to refuel.. I mean WTF? If we go about our normal business then we will keep the demand side constant and the supply side can plan accordingly. Mass...

Hi guys, First off apologies because I KNOW this was asked before... but for the life of me my search results aren't helping. I'm looking for decent aftermarket brake pads for my 800GS. Any brands/pads/contacts/prices/etc. for Joburg area? Thanks!

Sold.

Just some advice - I wouldn't consider this case if you intend doing extended off road riding. If you're sticking to tar and smooth gravel then it will be 100%. It has been the perfect commuter box for me.

Hi all, Long story short my Vario top box has just been replaced under warranty for cracking after a 4 day excursion. I want to sell it and buy aluminium panniers instead. What I have is the brand new top box (never been used) and the backrest cushions and lock from the old box (10 months old)...
