I know this has been on the forum before......but couldn't find it! My 2005 KLR(32 00k's on the clock) will not start when it's (the motor) cold! The battery is fine, and there is spark, and petrol etc. I have even put the (new) battery on charge for 24hrs, to no avail. If I push start the bike...

Heya guys! Due to rough roads and the excellent  rock flinging capabilities of JonW's D606's this weekend....my KLR now has a black eye!!! Ok then...my headlight is broken and the agents want 650-00 Rondts for a new one!!! Does anyone have a "spare" lying around for sale or know if there is an...

Hi guys! Anyone coming down from Jhb/Pta this weekend or early next week? I'm trying to get a tyre down from AdvMX to me in Pmburg. No-one in this one horse town has tyres, and Peter has got one for me.....so if anyone has space in their car boot.....? Cheers!

Hello guys. I just popped in to say Hi to all the old "faces" Sheesh!! It's been a while now! Hows everyone doing?

Ok, so I've decided to take the plunge and get a decent helmet, and have been looking at the Airoh S4 for a while now. Being a typical KLR rider, I'm looking for a good price now. Pmburg prices seem to be the same...R2295-00 for one wiffout stickers and R2495-00 wiff stickers....I carrant like...

No, no...not that kind of bashing.... we're not allowed to bash any more remember? Just an observation. I took my Bosson off my KLR last night to give it a bit of a clean up in honour of SuperJuice's visit next week ;) and I noticed this big assed ding on the inside facing surface of the pipe! I...

I'm not sure if this should be in "Planning a ride" but, I've just been phoned by a friend who asked me if I was going to Sani Pass to watch some guy who's going to attempt the Pass ....wait for it....... IN A COBRA!!!??? So any Dawgs in the vicinity, keep your eyes open! I'll try find out...

This was my first "legal" banger, a Kwakka AE 50! It was the first one in PmBurg too! My late father was mates with Mike Grant(Ex Mike the Bike Kawasaki) and wangled a mean price for me, and they let me help them un-crate it and PDI it! I think that was my proudest moment, riding that shiny...

A good friend of mine has asked me to advertise this for him, as much as it breaks his heart, he has to get rid of it for health reasons...Guys, I've ridden this bike....one word "Heaven"!! Make                Ducati Model                ST3 Eng capacity      992cc Year                2006...

Hi guys, A couple of us are planning to take a ride to Shongweni on Sunday to watch some observed trials. The plan so far is to meet at about 7 or 8, have  brekky somewhere, and then mosey on down to the foot-ups, as it only starts at 10-00am... Maybe take a ride through the Valley afterwards? A...

The Sounds Of Tweety...(To the tune of The Sounds of Silence) Sorry Simon & Garfunckle.. Hello KLR my old friend Iâ??ve come to ride with you again To feel the vibrations softly creeping Up my spine to stop me sleeping And the visions, that are blurry in my brainâ?¦.still remain And reflect...

Where's my Baby got too??? .............. Anybody??? Is she still alive?

Heya Dawgs I've just had a look at an AMA Barda jacket....anyone know them or have one? They look OK and the label says 100% waterproof etc. Any comments?

Heya, It seems that FB cannot find an adventuresome WD to give her a pillion to the EC! So, as much as it goes against the spirit of the whole exercise, I've decided to send her down with one of our reps who will up here from PE, from where Captain Slow will (hopefully) start her latest...

This is my first attempt at a ride report...hopefully it works... Well, here it is...hopefully. I'm still trying to figure the whole photo-bucket thing out! For those of you who haven't been following the whole Fire-Bucket thing, I have "donated" an old pewter mug to the forum, with the idea...

Heya all, I don't know if this has been done before on this forum, but I've heard it being done on the radio. I have an old pewter beer mug at home, I think it was from my 21st, which has been on various camping/shooting/fishing trips with me....but it's not looking battered enough! What if I...

I took the big step today and bought some proper riding pants and boots (tired, and scared of riding in jeans and safety boots). I bought them from DGI in Peacevale. The owner, Derek Graham, was at school with me and used to race MX back in the 80's (Mad Murdoc) He is now wheelchair bound but...

Heya, Anyone else on the forum got ridiculous feet? I've just bought a new pair of boots today (Fly Stinger's) size 13! They fit perfectly, but I'm battling with the gear shift on my KLR. I've moved it up as high as possible, but it's still a mission to change gear, and if I move the shifter any...

Heya, Any of you interested in joining JonW and myself in "doing" Sani Pass on Saturday morning? It will be a quickie, meeting at Crossways Hotel in Hilton at 6-00am and then going to Himeville via Boston/Bulwer/Pevensey, up the pass, and then wind our way back through to Nottingham Road on the...

Heya guys, has anyone had experience with these tyres? My KLR needs new shoes, as the old Trail Wings are just about kaput, and the local dealer does not have stock of them, but he has the Dunlops.... Any pro's -con's between the two?
