Hi there everyone,
A friend of mine picked up a Camera a little while ago and recently gave it to me to try and track down the owner. Does anyone know who this is? Would love to get his camera and memory card back to him.
I think the camera was found the in Seweweekspoort area / Rooiberg...
Hello all,
I see there are a few previous posts about this, but no replies with useful info.
A lovely gentleman travelling around the world on a 1968 Vespa 150 is wanting to ship his scoot over there as part of his RTW trip.
He started in Italy - headed north to Norway before making his way...
Hi everyone!

Thanks for the input Barry.
You are correct - it's not hydraulic, it's a metal ribbon type wind up spring. I removed the tensioner, wound up the spring, out it back in and rotated the screw until I heard the tensioner click into place. It was immediately better buy after 5 rides the noise is...
Hi Everyone!
The missus has owned a Tornado for the last 2 years - we love the bike. I also own a TTR250.
A little while back the Tornado developed a tickety clackety sound. I think its the cam chain as I have heard the hydraulic tensioner can be an issue. Has anyone else had the issue? The...
Yes - I know the bike and shop you are talking of. It is not me. There are a lot of sharks out there.
I agree that R38k is reasonable and the motor was rebuilt my Michael Fuchs.
Cheers :)

Hi Bob - I own and run the Woodstock Moto Co - previously Woodstock Man Cave. I'm interested in which beat up bike you are referring to? I assist people in selling their own bikes - so they determine the prices. I advise them if they are over optimistic. Please let me know :)
Hi there,
This post looks ancient but thought i'd give it a try.
I recently got an XR400 which is bags of fun. I'm new to dirt so learning lots. I have been riding her on the street quite a bit and have been reading about the lack of cush drive and potential damage it does.
Reading above, is...
Thanks for the quick reply :)
I am about to replace chain and front and rear sprockets - going with DID and PBR.
Will chain and sprockets take the brunt of it, or will street use stuff up shaft and gearbox?
Locking Plate? referring to the front sprocket?
Thanks again!
Hi Teebag,
Any luck with that Counter shaft?
How long have you had the bike and why do you think the counter shaft stripped?
I just got an XR400 and have been riding in on the street a bit, lots of fun, but have been reading up about the lack of a cush drive and fear it might damage the...
Hi Christo
1) Many bikes have a cush drive in the rear hub of the wheel. Usually they are rubber bushing wedges that absorb the shock and drive train shunt. The XR doesn't have these. Just wondering about wear on the counter shaft and gearbox / clutch.
2) The snorkel I am referring to is below...
