Just a heads up. WC provincial traffic vehicles are now fitted with front and rear mounted cameras. These auto scan number plates and are linked to e-natis. Anything outstanding and they have to grab you. These cameras also read speed. These cars operate in tandem or in three's so, they'll grab...

Swartberg pass is closed from both directions. The road to the Hell is washed away. They are cut off. The cops will not allow you to access the pass from either direction. This fix will take a while. Meirings Poort is open for now. But the road between Oudtshoorn and De Rust is shitty and roads...

Went for a ride in one of their 'ghost' cars the other day. Holy mother of  ......" Don't know what they shoe horned in under the bonnet, but it will spin it's tires in every gear, right into 6th. And its an automatic! Inside: Star Wars. Constant uplink to data center. Camera's all round; yes...

A lot of your fines are just tagged onto your license renewal. Some people have had very rude surprises. Wait for the points system to roll around. It will be painful. They photograph from the front and the back. If you have 'lost' a plate, they will pull you over and fine you. Seems the Cape...

Ja, on a leash .....

Sorry to hear about your loss. If you have a mind to go look for your stuff, go look at second hand shops OUTSIDE of your local SAPS jurisdiction. A detective, if he has the time to go and look for your stuff, will look locally first. To leave his area entails a huge amount of paper work...

I like the way you guys diss modern inventions; while communicating on instruments that were not available a mere 20 years ago. Imagine this conversation WITHOUT smart phones, the internet or private use computers! The world changes. We choose which of those changes we make our own. The...

All of the technology they predict for a 100 years from now already exists. They can build that bike now. I doubt that bikes will look anything like that 100 years from now. Typical BMW: selling old technology tomorrow. And engineered to break 1 week out of warranty. However, I like the styling.

'n Moerse bree pad en een klein ou gaatjie - en jy moet in die gat gaan val! Laat my dink aan al daai Sandton Range Rovers wat diff lock trek as hulle 'n speedbump sien! Kan julle vaal gat stof donkies nie bike ry nie? :peepwall:

One thing that a scoot has over a 'normal' bike, is the step through facility on scoots. Many people, either through age related conditions, or as the result of injury, can no longer 'put a leg over' to mount a standard bike. Yet, they want to continue riding a bike! Here is a perfect solution...

In our urban/commuter market, a definite winner. World wide; a new benchmark. Let's see how the others rush to copy it.

I spoke to Mitch (owner) earlier in the day. What a nice guy. Told him my concerns and he said not to worry. The damage, as described, is slight and if the tire holds pressure, and there is no vibration, I should not worry. But, I will take pics tonight and mail to him tomorrow so he can have a...

The front rim of my K1200S has a slight dent in it. Not severe and the tire is not losing pressure at all. The tires are brand new and it seems that the rim has been balanced to compensate for the damage. There is no discernible vibration from the wheel. But, I am a belt and suspender type of...

I actually took them up on their special offer. Ordered the CTEK MXS 3.8 charger. They phoned me and told that they were out of stock, but would contact me as soon as new stock had arrived. Sure enough, a few days later they phoned and offered me a new stock item at the sale price - which was...

If you enjoy your bike, that's all that matters. I wish I had one; and I will still have one. Why? Just because. Like iPhone's and BMW's. They are good bikes not great bikes. Some people like them other's not. Just lose the fairy feathers (tassels) please!

Bought another bike and with it, got a BDX flip up helmet. Looks and functions very much like the BMW system helmets, with flip up face etc. I can find nothing on the web about these helmets. Now, before I wrap this thing around my noggin, I would like to know that it is a good product. Does...

Harleys need all the help they can get.

Why is a man defined by the toys he owns/rides? Have we become so shallow that we need labels to exist? Buy what you like, ride what you like. Your possessions do not define you as a person.

Thanks for all the inputs. Some more info. I will, if I buy, be the 6th owner. None kept the bike for more than 4 years. A check with BMW shows the bike was never serviced under guarantee and there is no record of any recall repairs/upgrades. Basically, the bike will then be as sold originally...

I have just been offered a 2006 K1200S with 102 000 on the clock. Bike seems in a very good condition. Am very tempted. A couple of questions please: Are there any known issues with these bikes, given the mileage? Can the foot pegs be adjusted a bit down? Right now, knees and boep are not in a...
