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...

Hi all, I finally taken the plunge and moved over to the plastics after many years riding 1200 GS (Land Barge). I absolutely loved the GS but I am really exited to explore more remote parts on this weapon below. I have a few questions for those that have been riding then over the last few...

Iv been following the season start of super Cross in the US and the Dakar on at the moment, one thing iv noticed is that no pros seem to wear kidney belts anymore. I remember back in the day when you could see a belt sticking out of the pants of the every persons rider. I  read an article a few...

Hello fellow Dawgz, this is my first time writing a proper ride report, so I hope you will forgive me if it is a bit messy compared to some of the other fantastic RR that are on this forum. A few months ago while being subjected to the coldest winter I have experienced in the UK, I decided it...

Hi guys For those of us unfortunate enough to be stuck in the perpetual cold of winter at the moment, the one ray of happiness is the annual London bike show happening this weekend. I’m heading to it tomorrow so I thought I would start a thread to post pics of the event and relevant drool...

Hi Guys Im heading down to St Francis bay for a few weeks from the 21st December and I'm looking to do a few rides while I'm down there, such as Antoniesberg and Baviaans. Iv done these before and they are always fun rides so I thought I would sacrifice some beach time to do them. also looking...

For anyone interested in doing Antoniesberg pass between Patensie and Steytlerville, here is a video below of me doing it two weeks ago. it is very manageable on the big bikes as there are only a few minor technical/rocky sections. The water level in the Grootriver was extremely low so in...

Im hoping someone could please enlighten me on this subject. Iv seen on overseas websites that popular endure bike brands offer their endure bikes in dual sport type format i.e road legal, such as the KTM 350 EXC-F. Are these bikes available in SA as is out of the box from dealers or is it a...

Hi Guys Can anyone provide me with a recent update on what the road condition is like in Baviaans ?. I'm thinking of going through it tomorrow 06/07 from the Willowmore side. I'm riding a 1200gs with good tires so I'm not worried how rough the road is, more how much mud and water there is. Iv...
