    GS vs GSA

    Ai tog, you BMW okes. Always this "GA vs GSA" debate. FFS just ride and stop trying to make the one better than the other.  Both of them look bloody good (almost friggin identical anyway).

    saddlebags and which brackets?

    Not sure I agree with PistonPete; I bought a set of Nelson Riggs CL-850 saddlebags a while ago. They couldn't have fitted the V better if they were designed for it. No racks needed. Only my opinion, but I think they look bloody good on the V as well. Also got the MEDIUM size Nelson Riggs...

    Do i go green or not

    Proper research into this (most visible colours) was asked for by the oil drilling industry in response to the high number of casualties on oil rigs many decades ago. Verdict: Most visible colour... PINK!  Roughnecks said: "Shit no!  What's 2nd most visible colour?"... ORANGE Most...

    Dogs advice, and keen eye needed.

    The Strom will probrbly be way too heavy for the (short) wife. My limited-experience-2c: if no pillioning, the KLE will be the bee's knees I think. Most nimble bike of the options I also think.

    How many km's to a tank (1000)?

    Most I've got on a tank was 358km. Put in 20.51lirers, so 1.5l left in tank. 2nd best was 344km, on 21.4liters. Struggling to get to 300kms nowadays...having too much fun.  (Its my fun-toy not my commuter)

    Horrific accident last night

    If he was really racing... Not much sympathy for him, but a lot for his family. Even more for the girls' families. Even if the girls were lekker gekuier after their function, doesn't mitigate the biker's actions.  Fully sober one cannot even judge a speeding bike's eta at your position. Very...

    2013: BMW VS KTM...

    Yes okay, they beak and headlight does look a bit crappy and stupid.  But the rest of the Strom I think is fabulous! I am liking the KTM more and more.  Loving it actually.

    What's happening to big adventure tourers?

    Don't know what you talkin' about the_wes. I find the VStrom extremely pretty, the 1200KTM beautiful, the S10 butt-ugly, etc etc. But you said it"...all horrible to look at IN MY OPINION..." So yes mate, its all a matter of opinion. Some will like some, and some will hate some. So to say that...

    Fork brace thread. R485 plus postage. Updates on 1st post.

    Sorry, I did not even think of taking pictures...was way to irritated and constantly swearing at either the forks or the forkbrace. I did NOT find the installation easy at all!  I fitted the big part over the forks, went in very tight between the forks and the mudguard (tapped it over and in...
