I've unfortunately recently sold my F800, but I'm already keen to organise another trip.
A major bucket list is to do a trip around Lesotho - basically hugging the border as close as possible.
We've done JHB - Rhodes via Sani (east) before, and have done JHB - Rhodes via Wepener (west) before...
I'm looking for a trailer to rent over the Easter long weekend. We want to drive to Rhodes with the bikes on the back and then spend some time in the area with them.
Anyone know of a reliable and not too expensive option?
We've finally managed to put together our video edit for the BMW Motorrad Days event held in Clarens last year.
So... just some notes beforehand:
BMW gave myself and 2 friends the 1200GS Trophy to ride from JHB to Clarens for the weekend. We made a bit of a longer trip about it, and ended up...
Hi guys,
been following the thread a bit, and haven't had a chance to comment yet.
I organise the film crew that documented the event - we're not officially part of BMW at all, only documented the event.
We had a tonne of fun - not just in the shooting but all the other stuff around it. We...
This is a SUPER old video of a ride we did back in 2013. I haven't had a chance to edit the video until this weekend.
Have a look at our ride - leaving Johannesburg to Waterberge and getting lost... not having a place to sleep and bumping in to some funny characters...
If anyone is keen to join us, we've got a pretty good package deal on here: https://quicket.co.za/events/12530-escape-route-1-eastern-freestate-adventure/
Hi guys,
We're keen to do this ride as an option to the BMW Motorrad Days event. We'll be staying at Glen Reenen Guest camp and thought of using this route to get into Lesotho to visit Afriksi. It looks however that one has to pick: Either Old Mill OR Afriski as the timing simply won't work out...
Hi Everyone,
We've put together a tour package for riders who want to join us on our Next Weekend trip.

But basics are:
We're going to the BMW Motorrad Days event. Leaving...
We're planning a trip from JHB to Mont Aux Sources from Wednesday.
Plan is to leave JHB mid morning and take a ride through to MAS by way of Sterkfontein Dam (hopefully get a swim in).
Next day (Thursday) we'll head in to Normandien pas, Memel area and try play around there as much as possible...
Limacon - that's not a bad idea. We did have a more-or-less route planned, and I don't think we did anything that you couldn't find on the main tracks. Everything was pretty straight forward.
I'll plan some GPS routes and send em through though
Episode 7 is out! Sorry we had this uploaded to Youtube for a while but things went slow on our side...

I'm on 40,000KM.
I can't think of a specific event that would have caused this - Unless I've been riding with them like this for the past few weeks and they've been shot to shit...
Thanks for the links to that site - checking it out now.
I just got a quote from the dealership to service my bike - R40,000!
The main cost seems to be the braking components. new discs and new rear brake calipers. The calipers alone are in the R20,000 region.
Anyone else had any experience with this?
