@ Vintage_Mania: It was a great ride - thanks for organizing, we all enjoyed it! :thumleft:

Perfect - close to the Mahem track. Following family negotiations, the Little Miss managed to borrow her mom's 650.  So two of us will show.

From the eastern side of Pretoria. I can meet up towards Van der Hoff maybe?

I am in.

Hi Vis Arend, We started using this concept on the 2012 Amageza - Wild Cat said we should now help out other riders with it as well. Good to know it worked perfect for you too! :)

We will have the gates opened by around 16:00 and the night ride start at 19:00 from below location. Directions: OK - the easy and correct way from Pretoria side: (distances only an estimate) 1.Take Garstfontein road, about 12 km past Mooikloof.  You will see Tierpoort Q4 garage on left...

Next "Bos BIBBER beraad" - Friday night, 31 May I will ensure there is LOTS of firewood, and a place to pitch your tent to wild camp in the black wattle bush. You bring lots of biking stories to share... and your dop and braaivles. I will also arrange a night ride for those interested -...

I have the set up the other way, with what I believe is a Tenere motor, in a TT frame with the drum brakes in front (papers indicate '84).  So the TT now has 12 V lights.  The original TT has 6 V (for 1984). I don't think there is a huge difference in engine power, but the TT weighs about 25...

Hi MRK Miller - jammer, het jou post laat gesien Ons het laas naweek die mees onlangse bosberaad gehad. Ons volgende event is 'n treasure hunt 10 Nov en dit sal in die ooste van Pretoria wees - begin by die Q4 garage/OK uit op die M30. https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=229782.0 Ons...

Hey Nambo, The upper bearing is not the same as the one at the bottom, and does not have a built in dust seal. The seal is bought separately, but is not prone to damage, so I just put the old one back and that is why I still have the dust cap and bearing in my drawer (for the 660R) I looked up...

Hey Nambo, I also need to replace the neck bearings and only bought the bottom bearing (on none of my bikes I had a messed up top bearing yet, and probably have an unused one laying around). I ordered the Yamaha bearing (cost = R515 after 10% discount) and then had it matched at the bearing...

Yes, thank you for the ride.  I really enjoyed this one. @ White Rhino: As far as I remember, we left just before 8 from the garage and the first bike (Gary, I think, with the HP2) ascended at 10:45. We left the rock at midnight. Someone mentioned the idea of including Breedts Nek next time...

Hi Mark, is there still space for the ol' Vagabond to tag along?

I received contact details for Shaun Powell who is handling the family matters at present.  Unfortunately, he did not not respond to my communications as yet.  Shaun's contact details: 082 5618 798, [email protected]. Regards F

This is terrible news.  Boeloe was involved in an accident early this week while commuting to work on his bike, and sadly passed away last night as result of the injuries. Words cannot describe this loss, especially to his wife and children. May you find comfort in his own words on this forum...
