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...

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...

Too lazy to look up the Royal Enfield thread. But here is a vid about the true spirit of motorcycling. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-JwZfLKX1U

Never thought I'd see this: Sat. morning; young girl in a big scoot; one of those auto jobbies, comes riding down the street. I notice her and also notice she is looking down; not concentrating on the road. Coming to the 4 - way stop; she does not even notice it; zipping over as if it was not...

I you're along the South Cape coast this summer and this bike stops next to you, don't challenge it for a dice or pop a wheelie. He's gonna nail your arse! Tante Zillie se eie berede polisie! I begged them for a ride. I pleaded. Nope, all they let me do is sit on it and play with the lights...

On my Virago, I have different plug caps. On the front cyl; the cap number is TDT - 133. On the back, it is TDT - 137A (Plug cap: the rubber encased thingie that connects the wire from the coil to the spark plug.) They are supposed to be 5 K Ohm. Cannot find any reference on the internet. Help...

I stripped two bolt holes on the engine of my Yamaha V Twin. This happened while I was replacing the side cover. Both bolts are 6 mm metric (6 x 1) The 'meat' where the bolts go into the engine casing are rather thin, so I am not entirely comfortable drilling these holes to the next size (8 mm)...

Can anyone help me. The petcock on my bike is missing the rear diaphragm (vacuum) assembly. The rebuild kits don't have all the parts. If anyone has a spare or second hand one available, I would appreciate buying it off you.

I need to move a bike from Stellies to Odn. Departure date must be specific as the seller is a lecturer at the Univ. Delivery date is somewhat flexible. I contacted Millie's for a quote and they're a little pricey. Anyone lese you guys can recommend?

To all the bike snobs out there: Go have a good look at your bike and then catalogue what parts for that brand name are actually made by that brand name. For instance: The bike is badged BMW, but the engine is made by who? As to the shocks, brakes, rims, fuel injection, frame, seat, gear box...

Already in production

I've just had a chat to the Southern Cape Provincial Traffic Chief. Seems bikers are exceeding the speed limit on our dirt roads and causing ostrich farmers tremendous losses. They (the farmers) are up in arms and are now demanding action from the authorities. Ostriches scare very easily and...

Seems a kid met with a Fortuner in Baron van Reede Road. Extensive damage to vehicle; bike in pieces. Seems the biker did not make it. Hy slaap nie vanaand in sy eie bedjie nie .....

I need some help. I need to make a screen for my naked K100. Something like a 'Chip's' type windscreen. I am a cruiser, not a racer. Can someone point me to a supplier or better yet, someone who will mold the screen on a pattern I supply and also supply the mounting hardware? Plan for a handle...
