    Mitas E-07 puncture repair

    Evening all, After 12 000km on and off road I finally picked up a puncture in the rear tyre, caused by what looks like part of a blade left of the road. Thinking this was a good time to practice changing tubes on my KLR I took the rear wheel off and tried to remove the Mitas E-07 tyre. F#ck me...

    A morning in the sand with a KLR

    I had the opportunity to spend a couple of hours with Kamanya, DarthVader and co. learning the finer art of sand riding on the Atlantis dunes on Saturday.

    Mitas E-07 tyres - first impressions

    Replaced the stock tyres on my KLR650 with Mitas E-07 front and back as the stock rear was kaput after 7500 km's. The stock front was still in reasonable shape but I wanted to replace both tyres. First impressions is that it is a great tyre on the tar with grip levels equal to the stock Dunlop...

    Afternoon all. My name is Ian Gage, I live in Cape Town and I have just taken ownership of a 2011 KLR 650.  :biggrin: I do a lot of 4x4'ing with my wife but decided being stuck in traffic for a couple of hours a day is just too much torture so decided to get back onto a bike. My face is still...
