    Honda 450 crf rally

    :drif: [/URL] [/URL] Now if Honda can give us a choice of having the nav tower removed and make this bike road legal I am sure it will appeal to riders in SA, USA, Aus, and some other countries.

    Crash on a GS1200 Adventure captured on helmet cam

    On our most recent trip to Middelpos one of the guys overcooked a corner on the road from Ouberg pass to the Sutherland/Middelpos road, just before the left turn on the Onder-Visrivier road. He captured it on his helmet cam. Scary how fast these kind of thing happens...

    Let us build a nice XT250SR Yamaha (No there is not such a model…yet)

    Okay. With reference to this post we are only getting to this now in all seriousness. We bought the bike for next to nothing and can spend a few moolas to build something good out of it. We did not expect much taking into consideration the price we paid for it...

    Is this a .......Yamaha 250 XT?

    I acquired this project today for my daughter to learn on and to restore/get ready to roadworthy (no papers). In this early stage I wonder whether this is a XT250 of the early 80’s. Seems much so. Is it this with another tank fitted? Anyone who knows where to source spares for this...

    EIGHT DAYS OF HEAVEN AND HELL ON EARTH

    The memories of our Namibia tour this time last year were so strong that we decided to do another tour during the same time as last year. So plans were made, routes plotted, our buddies invited, bikes prepped, accommodation organized and before long it was time to hit the road. My brother and...

    HOT-AZ-HEL….no the other one!!!

    It was time. The weather forecast promised it would be hot with thundershowers but what the hell, we planned this trip and we’re gonna ride. So we gathered on a good Friday morning to left at 10 as decided. We were like sheep just after the gate opened, mauling for some time, losing each...

    TRUNKELPOLZ AND THE JAPANESE NEIGHBOUR

    Our plans were in place and after a nice breakfast with our regular riding buddies, who were not so lucky to have the rest of the day “free”, we continued from Riebeeck West on dirt towards Porterville. Once at Porteville we phoned home and stated diplomatically that the trip was going to...

    EXHAUST 2-INTO-1 CONVERSION FOR 950R SUPER ENDURO

    Reading the conflicting results after similar conversions I can only conclude that the end can must be the most important piece of such a conversion. Whilst this conversion is necessary for the fitment of a rally tank why not look at some other gains at the same time? Some owners got a huge...

    First ride on my Kronreif, Trunkenpolz, Mattighofen

    Collected this magnificent product made by Kronreif, Trunkenpolz, Mattighofen this afternoon and while travelling back home I couldn’t decide what made me really happy – the surroundings, the sound of the big twin or the brutal power of the KTM950 powerplant. Maybe it was a combination of it all...

    TRANSPORT NEEDED (NOT A BIKE) GAUTENG TO CAPE TOWN

    I acquired an Eazi-Awn roof rack from my brother in Gauteng (Roodepoort) and need to transport it to Cape Town. If there is anyone coming from the big smoke to Snoekstad with an empty bakkie or towing an empty trailer, or having a vehicle on which this would fit (it’s the universal type that...

    Got caught this afternoon

    I was looking for a gap to get onto the bike and when the clouds opened up I jumped on the KLR and ride some of the well known roads around Durbanville. Eventually I ended up at the water crossing on the Mellish road and realized that it is wider as a result of the rain, but decided what the...

    Long way round – the true spirit

    On our recent bike trip to Namibia we met up with this guy in a bar (no, THE bar in Grunau, ‘cause there can be only one), who are traveling the world on his old BMW bike called Jesse. His route and website is on the one pannier of his bike. No meters or gauges on this bike, only a few switches...

    Any Dogs travelled from Luderitz to Walvisbay via Sesriem and through the Naukliffpark recently? If so is there petrol available within reachable distances for bikes say anything from 300 - 400km intervals? Avalabilitymay also be a problem due to the current high season in Namibië. According...

    OVERBERG AND KAROO QUICKIE (NOW INCLUDING THE ROUTE)

    We planned, decided, postponed and eventually the six of us met in Struisbaai on the Friday evening. Saturday morning as we set out to Malgas only four of us could continue as Ridealot and Hein had some work- and family commitments and unfortunately had to turn back. We took the nice gravel...

    Blast to the past detour: The Kalahari, Molopo and Verneukpan

    A LITTLE BIT OF BACKGROUND The opportunity presented itself in the form of a wedding that took place in Upington. The distance between Upington, Olifantshoek, van Zylsrus, Askam, Noenieput, Lutzputs, Keimoes, Augrabies and Verneukpan on the way back to Cape Town was just to small to ignore and...
