A friend (Kobus) lured me into a gravel ride on Saturday. Him and his neighbour (Rudou) needed some gravel time in the saddle as they are going on a tour somewhere in the Cape shortly. I must admit myself was not in the saddle for a long time. I am quite a sucker when this happens, so I gladly...

I just bought a Zumo 595 and see that the GPS does not have a seperate sd card like the zumo 550. For years now I saved my routes on the sd card, and after the trip I delete the routes from the sd card, sommer via Basecamp and/or the gps itself. When I bought the 550 years ago I was told not...

So, after almost 6 months, I decided to get on the bike again, before I have to go for a new driving licence. Just did a quick gravel trip via Boons, Derby, Koster, Rustenburg loop. About 180km in and out. I noticed that the shortcut between Maanhaarrand and New Thorndale road has 2 locked...

And so the day eventually arrived for my adventure to a far away place. I planned this trip well in advance and decided to do it on my own to get time alone with my ABBA. Some time ago I downloaded the route from this forum - Parys to De Aar (Paris to Dakar) and decided that this was going to...

Na my solo trip van Hekpoort na Knysna ontmoet ek toe die bushlander clan in Knysna - Brenton Sal ek hierdie uitsig nou gaan ruil vir 'n motorfiets toer in die berge ?? :deal: Maar 'n deal is 'n deal, en ek het nie verniet 2 dae solo gery op die 800 vanaf Hekpoort om hier te kom nie...

En so begin 'n lang storie uiteindelik. My kollega gaan elke Desember na Knysna vir sy jaarlikse vakansie. Hy begin toe so 3 jaar terug met 'n familie motorfiets toer as begin van sy vakansie om die "stress" af te breek en dan vakansie te hou. Die familie is nou homself, sy seun, 2 skoonseuns...

I was planning to get back on the gravel sometime - Not knowing if my nerves/confidence would play along. After my fall in December I was not in the mood to get on the bike at all. (They say old bones take time to heel) Then gradually the mind and I came to an agreement - I will take it slowly...

I have seen this on a 1200GSA, converting the std frame to take Trax panniers. Is this a DIY jobbie or can this be obtained commercially? I want to do this on my 800GSA, so I don't have to buy a set of panniers for the 800 too, but can use my Trax panniers that I use on my 1200GS (SW Motech...

I come from a 650dakar riding experience straight into the new 800GS Adventure environment. With my first trip on gravel to Groot Marico, the front felt quite "loose" and I was wondering if I should put steering dampers on. Its not that I was riding on the back wheel only, due to the increase...

Since swambo belongs to a book club, she is well informed about these cultural events. Every year during October there is a Herman Charles Bosman festival in Groot Marico. October being his month of birth. This year it was the 21st anniversary of the Herman Charles Bosman Literary Society &...

Anyone going?, besides myself. It is for the coming weekend 17  to 19 October. https://www.marico.co.za/ I plan to go wiff my relative new 800GSA on my maiden trip with this bike. Wife will go in cage, with friends, as the mampoer tasting needs 4wheels under your bum and a dedicated driver.

We are a group of 6 couples, that try to get out once a quarter. The group has 3 BMW 1200RT's, and 3 GS1200's Most of these trips are tar only, cause of the road orientated bikes as well as the girls go along. So we try to ride nicely with them. I planned this trip over the LONGWEEKEND of 21...

Short 2day trip to Tonteldoos. For those not knowing where this place is, its 20km north of Dullstroom, only accessible by gravel roads. Only 3 buildings in the village, of which one is the bar, one is a beer brewery and the last is, well ? - you will see the photo. this trip started actually...

ok, hier gaat ek. My naam in Nico, bietjie onrustig dat ek aangeval gaan word deur Faf se ponies. Ek bly in Hekpoort, Gauteng, en besit 650gs dakar. Lees nou al lank die forum stories en uiteindelik moed bymekaar gesit om lid te word. Toe ek nou aanteken het ek nie geweet dat my username ook my...
