Dear fellow dogs My arrangements for the cross-Africa trip is coming along fine. Got hold of a very nice stretcher from a fellow Dog. What I still need is a good, comprehensive toolkit for my bike. The tools one get with it is in my opinion, not enough. I noticed a few options (GPS4Africa...

Good morning Dogs Yesterday I saw a small, fold-up type stretcher sold by GPS for Africa. I am really impressed with the size and strength. Wanting to buy one, I realized it will be another piece of equipment that will only be used now and then. Is there any Dog that bought one that feels he/she...

Dear fellow Dogs I am planning a solo trip from Pretoria to Dubai around the end of this year. One hear good and bad stories. Bribing; bad roads, horrible border crossings etc. Good stories about the friendly people and beautiful scenery that you pass by. So my question is related to the...

Hi everyone I am considering upgrading to the 2017 LC Tripple Black. What will be a fair selling price for the Rooimier? I was thinking around R110 000 to R115 000. Trade in is R104 000 and resale (I think) is R129 000. 2010 model 76 000 odd km on the clock. All services done at Centurion BMW...

Good morning fellow dogs Yesterday I have fitted the new range of Rally jackets and pants from BMW. But the price is a bit too much for what I can afford now. Is there anyone that wants to get rid of theirs? Size 54 Jacket Size 52 Pants Same colour coding In good condition Fair price Thanks

Dear fellow Dogs I did not know where to post this request, as the ride I plan is with my bakkie and jet ski, all the way from Guateng to Ramsgate, KZN. Time to do some fishing! My concern is; what is the availability of fuel down in KZN? Date: Friday 5 Aug driving down Tuesday 9 Aug coming...

Hallo to all my fellow dogs I have an older Evolution riding jacket. Very very happy with it, but the red inserts in the jacket is now fading fast. Is there any way of revitalizing it again? Some sort of paint? Help...

Friends I am going down to Ramsgate on Wednesday 15 June. Back on Sunday. I might have space to take something down should you need to do so. Let me know...

Dear fellow Dogs A friend of mine is riding a Yamaha FJR 1300. 2004 model with 220 000 km on the clock. She needs to get a major service done, including checking bearings and seals. Yamaha is quoting something unpayable. Does anyone here know someone who does a good job and preferably works in...

Good morning Dogs. Background: I was watching a few old episodes of "Look what you are missing" and even one or two from "Woema". Nice, but personally I think it lacks the "normal person views" and the excitement of Adventure Riding itself. Good and well to see the 2 guys jumping on 2 bikes...

This morning I woke up at around 04:30, as I do every morning. My lazy ass and a cold chill that sneaks through an open window prevents me for getting up right away. It is too early anyway. So; I pull the blanket a little higher, roll onto the other side and my mind starts wondering about the...

Hi fellow Dogs Im planning a ride from Johannesburg to Dubai. I know it can be dangerous and there is a lot to look out for (bribing, what to have and what not) and I plan NOT to re-invent the wheel. So; I am sure there are a number of people who did it before and I am sure I saw advertisements...

Hallo to all the Dogs 25 August is my birthday again and like other years, I refuse to be at office. I normally take a nice, slow ride somewhere, meet people, camp in the veld and just chill. I have done a few places now, but this year I want to do something different. I need some ideas and...

Let us learn from each other. Show a few pics of your bike, fully packed and ready to travel, whether gravel or tar. And give a short description of what you pack and modifications to your bike/accessories. I will start with mine. Normally I travel 50/50 gravel/tar. Clothing includes cool...

Honne vriende...vertel tog vir my. Hoekom is die meeste bikes so great? Eerste rat is af. Die res op, verby neutral. Baie jare terug het 'n vriend van my 'n Yamaha Fifty gehad. Neutraal was heel onder, Al die ratte was op. Ek is seker daar is 'n goeie meganiese of ander rede hiervoor. Help my -...

Hi everyone I just want to share this with you, as I feel it might help the other dogs in their decision on buying tires: I bought the Roomier secondhand with 15 000 odd km on. At that stage it had Heidenaus front and back. The real tire was changed to Mitas E-07 at 27 000 odd km. So at least...

OK. Just for shits and giggles, I will give you the story in two formats: 1. The ride report to the High Commands in our lives and 2. The real story (with a bit of fiction added to make it better reading - for you to decide what is fiction and what is truth). The real story starts only AFTER the...

Hi fellow dogs I have searched the topic and found a few from 2008. I am due for a 40 000 service on the Rooimier (1200 GSA) and BMW quoted me R3400. I suppose it is fair as they indicated it is a major service. But when the helpful man went through the list I couldnot help but wondering; it is...
