Howsit Dogs, I will be back in CPT end of April for a couple weeks RnR and would like to have my Dakar serviced before then. I would like to avoid taking it to BMW if possible. When I left CPT end of 2012, Shane was the Dakar man and working for Yamaha at the time, is he still there? Or who...

Thought you guys might enjoy this video. Sorry if this is a repost :thumleft: https://www.youtube.com/v/70jokjTaGT4 It has one thing the other bikes don't: a hooter  :lol8:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8xfpU0yIpG4 Sorry don't know how to embed. Don't know if this has been posted here before but though I would, simply because I'm 5000 miles away from my bike and miss it like hell and these KTM's are just awesome! Enjoy.

Alpinestar Tech 8 - US Size 9 Some cosmetic damage, no structural damage. Bought off a forum member, too small for me. I have suspicions that they aren't originally the same pair, but both are the same size and they look hardcore. R600

Need to clear these out, not going to post/ship/courier/posduif them. Anakee 2 - R400 for the set 90/90 - 21 130/80 - 17 Metzeler Enduro 3 Sahara -  90/90 - 21 - R150

Who's got what on their Dakar? And does it work?  Once my Anekee's come to their end I'm going to move to something more off road. I'm thinking E 07 on the back but what works nicely on the front? TKC? I'm open to any suggestions and ideas  :thumleft:

Ek is nogals lus om sand kasteeltjies te gan bou daar sondag... Anyone else going or keen? I'm not too phased about what the weather does. Time dependent on who joins, I wont be going alone.

… I went for a little solo Cederberg trip, leaving bright and early Saturday morning. I really need to invest in a smaller sleeping  bag, tent and roll mat.   Through a wet Bainskloof to Ceres Defrosted myself and filled the tank in Ceres then over Gydo enroute to Op Die Berg...

I'm thinking of getting a smaller bike - Don't get me wrong, I have loved every moment on the Dakar! She's been my wheels over the past 7 months but as of late I've been using her as a weekend toy as well, and this has been getting a bit pricey to say the least. Also a Dakar does not make the...

Howsit Dogs - need some advice on brake pads please. Should I fork out and get the Brembo pads or are there others that will be just as good in performance and lifespan? Thanks in advance.

I'm looking for any body panels for the 2004 and onwards Dakar - If your panel is in better condition than mine (which it most probably will be  :mwink:) I will consider. :thumleft:

Is there any way to get from CPT to Langebaan doing minimal tar and avoiding the R27 as much as possible. Maybe roads closer to the coast or a bit more in land - preferably gravel or saaand  :mwink: Ive seen a sand track that runs alongside the R27 for long stretches, has anyone ever ridden this?

Over the weekend my dakkie has shaken some bolts loose, I seem to remember reading somewhere a while back that this tends to happen? What is the cure here? Lock-tight onto the bolts? If so can you recommend a product? Also are there any bolts known to do this that I should give a once over...

Ek en The O en n paar non-wilddog's is lus om hierdie sondag in Macassar te gan speel, ek ken nie die plek so goed nie maar weet hoe om in die bowl uit te kom en waar die truck stop is. Ons gan met die DS bikes maar plastics is welkom  :thumleft: so lank ek ook n go op een kry :mwink: Is van...

So a while back my headlamp came loose due to a slight encounter with a fence... ??? I did a McGuyver jobbie on it but this wont hold the vibrations of gravel road, as I found out this weekend. How could I do a more permanent fix? It seems to me the plastic fittings have worn away and the...

I'm looking for a bike to play around on and improve my riding skill, something I don't have to worry about parts breaking and that I can repair and service myself (to a certain extent). I'm based in Stellenbosch so most of the riding would be playing around in the forests, macassar sand mine...

I know exactly how to engage and disable the ABS on my 2004 Dakar but I was wondering is there a way in which one can disable it for longer periods of time so that if for instance I know I will be riding without ABS for an entire day, I don't have to keep disabling it every time I restart the...

Hi all! Been lurking a bit so its time to step up! I'm brand new to the adventure biking scene but was introduced a couple years ago by a step dad who is a devout GS's rider. Always has been, always will be. Now its finally my turn to step up, armed with my very own second hand BMW Dakar...
