Hi guys - did a quick search and couldn't see any info: I need to get 3 bikes from Cape Town to Joburg / Pretoria - in about three week's time. Could you perhaps tell me what sort of cargo / train / truck freight service is available and how much I can expect to pay? Its impossible to find...

First time I saw the term used, was on a post on here today -- I learnt to ride in SA. Never wore anything more than flip-flops and shorts... even rode to school every day, right up to final year, wearing my SCHOOL DRESS, ankle socks & babydoll shoes. Scrapes, bruises and roasties were part...

But where's his TOOLBOX??? What kind of man, has a garage, with no toolbox???? I'm a girl, I don't even HAVE A GARAGE (I work on the pavement in front of my house and on my living room floor) and even I have a toolbox!

I owned a KTM until recently as well as some XTs. Although the KTM is an absolute ecstacy to ride, I decided (with heavy heart) NOT to use it for the "big trip", for a few reasons: 1) Replacement parts cost a fortune. I fall off a lot. And lose things. On a trip to Scotland, the KTM's side...

Hey Blazes... Is the camera branded Archos too?  Would be interested to have a look, if you have any links / pics / supplier info?  What is the specs of the camera? The Archos recorder is easy to come by - but didn't know they do a camera combo?

Now I'm wondering... do you mean to burn as a smoke signal??  Bit destructive, imho.  ;D ;D

Holy crap!!  That is the bees knees and absolutely EXACTLY what I would want... however at £800 :eek7: :eek7:... it costs almost more than my bike did!! https://www.globaltelesat.co.uk/satphone/Thuraya_SG-2520.html And then I still have to buy air time... What does ATTGAT mean?

Yah. Nothing WRONG with that... But I'm specifically talking about NOT on dirt roads...  I even saw two guys stand up as they approached a petrol station in town...

Who is this gentleman, Mr Jan Staal?

Hey guys... I'm leaving the UK in 10 weeks to ride to Cape Town by myself.  I wasn't planning on taking a GPS at all - how can you get lost -- you just keep going South... until you can't go any more... THEN YOU'RE THERE! Unfortunately I discovered there's a few people who actually worry about...

Awwwh.... Secretly I was hoping that they were taught lovely manners... and were simply showing their respects to a lady biker...

Is it because they have very uncomfortable seats? Just asking - it really was quite interesting when we rode around your ways last:  I swear, every time a couple of blokes on beemers come past -- they stand up on the pegs. Perfectly tarred road.  Not a speck of slippery stuff to be seen...

Well, if you rode a PROPER bike...  :biggrin: Yamaha lists all their manuals from 1997 onwards...
