This weekend we were descending a very steep, rocky and rutted (loose rocks) 4x4 trail near Riversdal. A decent of ±300meters. At first I switched off all the electronics (ABS and traction control) and started the decent. After about 50meters I was almost completely out of control with the back...

Ek gebruik meer en meer my bike om te ry na kliente en meetings toe. Ek het tans 'n ±35L Kappa top box. Hy is net te klein om baadjie, handskoene en adventure helmet in toe te sluit. Ek dink n Topbox van ±45-55L sal idiaal werk. Plastic / SS / Aluminum maak nie saak nie, ek haal die topbox...

Gister ry ek tussen Malmesbury en Stellenbosch. 120kmph op speed control. Voor my is n stadige karretjie. Ek draai die fiets se oor. Smooth. Om verby die kar te gaan. Teen 130kmph vrek die fiets skielik. En ek cruise in 6de rat tot stilstand. Nou staan ek langs die pad. Die fiets wil nie uit...

In the light of the current exchange rates and economic environment I think tyre prices will climb sharply within the next 6-12months. So I got a set of tyres from a well known bike shop in Cape Town, but I will only fit the tyres towards the end of the year, if I take the tyres back they will...

Brand: 2001 F650GS Dakar Millage: 96 400km I bought this bike in 2012 with ±30 000km. To my knowledge I am the third owner. This was my first “big” bike after my chines 125cc Skygo. For the first two years of ownership this was my only transport and was used as commuter during the week and...

My skoonpa verkoop sy Motorola satellite foon (Iridium network). 200min op Zippisat simcard. Hy het jaarliks die foon saamgeneem as hulle gaan visvang het in die Namib woestyn (Meob) en het hom al seker so ±6 jaar. Die foon werk 100% en het al sy accessories en chargers. Die battery is nog...

Does anyone have more information ons this Road, especially with regards to access control. I got this information from Sanpark's website. https://www.sanparks.org/parks/garden_route/camps/storms_river/tourism/soetkraal.php But they do not answer phones or reply to emails. We are planning...

My skoonpa is 'n baie handige man en het 'n "home built trailer" wat hy altyd vir tuin vullis gebruik het.  Die sleepwa het in onbruik verval en hy gaan dit nou "oorbou" om 'n bike trailer te wees. Die lisensie vereis dat die sleepwa nie meer as 750kg (gelaai) moet wees nie. Sy vereistes is as...

According to the owner the bike is in running condition but needs a bit of tlc. I sons are 1 and 4 years old. They should get a few years out of it. I was thinking to offer R1500-R2500 and then give the bike the necessary TLC. Will that be a fair offer? Sent from my Redmi Note 5A Prime using...

We went for a Cederberg/Tankwa ride this weekend and I lost the red lens/cover of my tail light. Anyone got one lying around? I ordered a LED replacement unit from Ali-express before lock-down. But for now I just want the bike to be road legal again.

A small lock down project. I got this usb/volt meter a long time ago from AliExpress with the intension of using it on a dubbel battery system in my 4x4. Ultimately did not use it in the 4x4. So it was laying in the garage until yesterday when I decided to fit it to the Dakar with a rocker...

Soos per hierdie thread het ons besluit om die naweek ’n lekker trip te doen. Aanvanklik was ons 5 bikes en twee manne met  ’n bakkie wat sou saam ry. https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=248207.0 Donderdag chicken die manne met die bakkie uit en Vrydag laatmiddag laat weet Derek hy...

Ons gaan Saterdagoggend vertrek via Montagu deur Anysberg natuur reservaat. Dan deur Laingsburg en die aand in 'n rivierloop "kamp" in die Moordenaarskaroo. Sondagoggend vroeg wikkel en via padstal en Ceres huis toe kom. Of dit is elk geval die plan. Ek weet egter nie of Anysberg se hekke sal...

I normally got the fancy Nikwax tech wash from Cape Union Mart and the likes and washed my riding gear with it whenever the gear was extremely dirty, normally  ±once a year. I found almost zero extra protection from Nikwax. So last year I tried the spray that I use on my W2 Suede boots, and...

The past month my rear brakes was binding slightly. First I took apart the caliper and cleaned everything.  I normally do this on my annual service. There was no visible problems. Then after a short ride, I realised the brakes is still binding. Only thing that is left is the master brake...

I am giving my 2001 Dakar a bit of TLC. The wiring loom can also do with some new insulation after 18 years of service. What do you guys use? My VW cars have nice "cloth" tape around all the wiring in the engine bay. Seems it can handle the heat. Where will I be able to get that? My local...

My Dakar is running very smooth No hard starting No surging or any flat spots. BUT... lately fuel consumption is starting to increase by 15-20%.  The air filter is clean. I am going to replace the fuel filter/pressure regulator as the bike is currently standing on ±85 000km and it was never...

’n Vinnig dagtrip. Aangesien gister a vakansiedag was, besluit ons om die fietse te vat en bietjie die Sandveld te gaan verken. Drie manne. Ek en Mike op F650gs Dakars en skoonpa (Marius) op ‘n 750 African Twin. Om julle ’n idee te gee ek gaan al vir die afgelope 10 jaar gereeld Elandsbaai...

Ek het Vrydag agtergekom ek was nog nie een keer in 2018 in die Sederberge met die bike nie! Ek moes iets daaraan doen. Ek het Saterdag nog verpligtinge gehad hier by die huis en kon nie vroeg wegkom om die aand by Oasis te slaap nie. Ek besluit toe om Sondagoggend vroeg in die pad te val. Ek...
