Rus en vrede trail, the 500 was eating this route up. Pity I was pulling amps like an old battery

Near impofu dam

A few days late but….First break in ride on the 500…an absolute weapon. Riding the dirt roads near oyster bay

Evening all, I will be down in SFB from 28/12 to 03/01. Wanted to find out if any local folks are planning any trail/plastic bike rides and are willing to have another rider join?

Bought this a few weeks ago as it was about half the price of the comparable Leatt armor suit. Has Level 2 CE armor on the important bits and the fabric feels pretty soft and breathable. Will only be able to try it out properly at the end of the month but thought I would make a post to see if...

I followed the race closely this year as the coverage was pretty good on Youtube. The length of that course was (1320 miles) insane and the hardest parts were towards the end near San Felipe with massive whoops and rough tracks. It was impressive to see how fast the bikes and Trucks tackle that...

Thank you for the info Gerard. Such a pity, the trail looks tasty from Google earth.

Morning folks, Falling down a rabbit hole on T4A at the moment and saw a track that leads from the Cockscomb/Antoniesberg pass road across to the R332. It looks like it follows and crosses the Groot a few times. T4A sows a locked gate near the R332 side of the pass which I assume is something...

I had one of these covers on my GS ADV and it was one of the best additions i made. Not that the standard seat was uncomfortable but this eliminated any hot spots. For the price I am going to give it a try on the 500 to see how much it improves the standard seat, worth the experiment for the...

what spares do you usually carry for a trip?

Thanks, i will have a proper look once i get to lay my paws on it in December....just want to ride the dam thing now o_O

Not sure if a tank bag will work with shape of the aftermarket tank, there is steep lip between the seat and tank cap. I think MM makes a small one that might work or i might look for two small ones that could go on either side of the tank. I dont carry lots of electronics so its more for little...

Not going to ride with a screen, Just not needed for the type of riding i want to do. I have been up to Koakaland/Damaraland in a 4x4 and know how hot that place can get. Me and Climbing Turtle road up to Epupa a few years ago on our GS land barges and it was warm, so want as much air flow as...

Sounds like MM is the winner. Torn between the 40l or the 80l, thinking is that you cant make a big bag smaller but you cant make a small bag bigger. The main compartments of the 40l are fine in size but it looks like the rear pockets are a little bigger which is better for fuel/water. The...

still do research on that, I like the look of the Mosko 40l rackless but its kak expensive. Tusk make a similar system but i have read a few reviews that there a few design faults in the holster opening. At present i am leaning towards the GL coyote and then running a few extra bags on the...

very tempted by one of these tours, the RR i have read are amazing. However, I do like the prospect of more self supported style trip.

Thank you, I have one of these systems that i used to keep my GSA plugged in to, will definitely keep 500 on one. And thank you for points on the GPS, invaluable knowledge. I had an integrated BMW/ZUMO on my GSA and it worked well but I sold it with the bike. Would you recommend the Zumo XT2 for...

perfect, will order one of those. Is the standard battery quality ok though? i.e dont need to upgrade to a better brand etc? Next question, what sort of electrical set up do you have up front for GPS or phone charging? Is it easy to wire a USB/C into the existing wiring behind the headlight...

Chaps, talk to me about batteries. Are they something that need to be upgraded? with no kickstart the last thing i want is no power in a remote area

The first part has arrived 😂
