The running temperature is great. Its when you stop that it gets hot. It seems the radiator is too small. Not enough water. But then it's proved to be ok. I was hoping that someone else had the same result. Sent from my SM-T230 using Tapatalk

Hi all. I fitted a heat guage with the sender unit in the top hose. But I'm a bit sorry that I did. The temperature that the motor runs at, is quite scary. Running temperature is just below 90. But climbs as soon as you stop. And comes to about 110°C. I checked the guage in my kettle, and 100 °C...

Thank you for that Xpat. I'll pass it on. Just read your trip report. Awesome. I've done it by 4x4, but not the roads in question. I just love Namibia.

Has anyone got latest info, or where to find such info, on the state of the road between Roys Rest camp on the E8 till past Tsumkwe? My mates are doing it on Africa Twins and a BMW 1200 in June.

Thanks Jay. Much appreciated. Hoping you checked out our proposed route on FB, but we are returning back to Barcelona via the Mediterranean coast, which will include Genoa, Monaco and Marseilles. We will definitely follow your suggestions. Time will dictate whether we include Sicily, because...

Thanks for the info. Check the Facebook page given above.

Must be the same inspector that asked me the same thing in the Caprivi, and at Songwe north Malawi!  :dousing:

How do I get a shirt or something from the shop to take with me? The shop page is not there?  :laughing4:

If you get stuck, PM me and I'll assist where I can! Good luck!  ;D

I went to the one in Voortrekker road in Bellville. just past the Spur then past Autozone. Phone first or contact Anton at Diesel Electric in Montague Gardens.

Hi all, I'll be doing a ride with my son, from Barcelona in Spain via, Turin, Chamanoix, Andermatt, Bolzano, Venice, Florence, Rome, Naples, Genoa, Monaco and Marseilles. We'll be riding Suzuki Bandits. It's a 5000km trip and we have 18 days or so. Any suggestions? on the route...

I think the north west corner is the best. Remember Van Zyl's Pass is only from East to West. There are many good spots, hot springs, dry river beds, paintings, but some roads are hard work on a bike. The Caprivi is also good and kind to two wheelers. Nice camping spots. Ngepi stands out. But...

Hi, seen that no one has replied...... You can buy nothing at Kubu Island. There's only long drops. No water, no nothing. Letlhakane, everything, petrol, food, and of course St Louis beer. Kama Rhino, no petrol, but wood and they have a small shop for real basics. I believe the restaurant is...

Hi to all those interested Dogs in SA. I seem to be getting the run around from the tracker company, that was willing to sponsor the latest up to date small tracker unit, especially for bikes. It seemed a good idea at the time, to bring them on board, for our needs and some footprint for them...

Just another thought.............................. ??? We all know where we live, BUT do we know what WD are in the adjacent towns? Should Blommie come to your town, how would you know where to take her for the next leg? And while you have her, it's your responsibility to entertain her, show...
