I store my bike under a bike cover and keep my battery good by having it hooked up to one of those battery maintenance thinga -ma-jigs, the one that keeps your battery topped up all the time. My questions is ...Does the battery "release" fumes etc and if so, would the bike cover trap these...

My stock tires have now had it and I need to replace them. I would estimate that 80% of my riding is tar based with the odd weekend gravel road, way too much tar but that is it for the moment. I plan to increase the gravel travel a lot more as my confidence grows and I'm really looking forward...

My brother-in-law is looking for a new shape KLR650, good condition, accident free.  He is a cash buyer with a budget of R35000.00......at an absolute push R40 000.00 ( if it is really worth it.) Preferably in the Cape Town area. PM me your contact details if you have one for sale or know of...

A big thanks and  :thumleft: to Piston Pete for arranging the rescue truck for me today, I was a little bit fooked! Went out nice and early this morning for a breakfast meander, started off on the Old Malmesbury Road, then cut across to the Occultdale Rd and from there zig-zag to the dirt road...

Ok, this is probably going to end up as one of those moerse brand bashing, mud slinging, vloek mekaar and totally side tracked threads..........but hopefully I can get the info needed before it gets trashed!  :patch: :peepwall: :patch: A while back I posted about buying a second bike to do the...

:peepwall: OK, for me the jury is still out on this one. After doing the beginners course at Country Trax, which was a hell of a lot of fun, I cannot decide if it is better to sit or stand when riding rough dirt. Standing makes a lot of sense, but I definitely don't feel that I'm in control of...

On Saturday I went out to try and photograph some Cape Foxes, unfortunately I couldn't find their den yet. On my way home, I passed Zone 7 where they were having some or other MX event. These guys are absolutely  crazy the way they ride  >:D.......either NO BRAIN OR NO FEAR......I suspect a bit...

Ok, I finally got my riding boots, neck brace, riding pants etc all together. I've managed to wear and figure out everything except the boots. They make you walk like Darth Vader after having a piles operation, cause my wife to have fits of the giggles when she sees me trying to walk in them...

Not looking to start a brand war here  :peepwall:, just looking for some honest advice or recommendations. I currently own a KLR that I thoroughly enjoy plonking around with on weekends. Huge amount of fun and to me the KLR is a keeper for weekend jaunts and longer trips where there is not...

I would like to know why and what the benefit is to changing the stock handle bars to one of the after market type? I've never done this on any bike that I have ever owned, but I see that it seems to be popular with DS riding. Is there something wrong with the stock bars, or do the after market...

Can anybody tell me where I can get the wide metal foot pegs? The only ones I have found so far are rip off priced at R1650.00 per set, and then I still have to grind and cut the bike to make the pegs fit...........fark that  :xxbah:. I have also tried Big Boy Scooters for pit bike pegs, as per...

When parking your bike after the weekend run about, is it best to turn the petcock off or is it OK to just leave it in the "on" position?

My KLR has just had its first 1000km service done. I've been given two different stories on which oil to use. The dealer says mineral, but one of the KLR boffins says to use synthetic oil. The bike is currently running on synthetic oil, put in when I had the doo done, and is running like an...

Not sure if this is in the right section, but can anybody recommend a reasonably priced B&B in Caledon? I plan on going up for the Canola Run and thought I might leave on Friday, have a look around, tour a bit and then sleep over and do the Canola Run.

Hi, could anybody perhaps give me a bit of advice on riding boots? I don't do, or plan to do hectic off roading. I quite enjoy just pottering around on some easy going gravel roads, with the odd excursion onto twee spoor. When I get to wherever I'm going, I like to walk around and take in the...

Swambo recorded the most recent episode of "Bike" on Ignition channel. There was this german guy traveling through the Sahara on a GS1150.......very impressive what this big bike is capable of! I must say, it makes me reconsider my personal opinion of the big GS bikes.......in the right hands...

Hi, I'm looking at getting one of these cameras, but not sure which is better. What are the pro's and con's of each? Can anybody offer good advice on this?

During 2012, a friend of mine managed to persuade me to try out this DS riding lark. I mean, who in their right frame of mind, would really want to go and ride on deserted gravel roads, full of dips, whoops, water crossings, pot holes, mud monsters, sand monsters, thorns, rocks, wild animals...
