I have said this before in a different thread, but the amount of off-track riding that is allowed on these trips is not cool!!  Some of those new tracks will be visible for years to come.  I am not talking about the riverbed riding around Purros etc.  I really think the tour operator should...

Howzit Dogs Mate of mine wants to do his first trip to Lesotho and is looking for some advice.  I have not been there, so I can't really help.... so here I am.... asking them clever folk!!  :deal: The idea is to do a "Best of Lesotho" trip for a first time visitor.  They will be on heavy ADV...

Looking to try on Tech 3, 5 & 7's.  I'm in Tableview area.

Where could I start looking for an unwanted (damaged) rear R17 rim to practice fixing rear punctures?   I have only done this once and realised I will need to get a lot more practice before attempting solo trips far away from civilization.  I suppose I can practice on my GS's rim, but I'm...

Gloves BMW Atlantis 2 Size 12 (whatever that might mean....) These are around 3 years old, but I've only worn them once.  (Gift from SWAMBO....but never really liked them....Shhhh...)  They are VERY hot and have a "finger squeegy thingy" for the rain.  They are more suited to road riding /...

A question for the EC dogs.... Am I allowed to ride my bike through this section of the Addo Elephant NP, marked in red on the map?  At both ends of the red bit, there are gates: East gate:  S 33.113608, E 25.258399 West gate: S 33.208722, E 25.156036 I know that these gates are not...

99% of what I can find on the success of using tyre foam to fix a puncture in a tubed tyre, says that it is a waste of time!  I have personally tried and/or witnessed about 10 incidents that confirms that it is a waste of space! I don't know how to do a poll, so how about just a short: a)...

I like the look of the Adventure's screen, but would like some comments on how it works in the real world. Can the 800 Adv owners please comment on whether is works or not.

Weighed mine on Saturday: 2013 F800GS Full tank (16l) Hepco Becker Crashbars BMW Bashplate BMW Handguards Trax Topbox (empty) Zumo GPS bracket .....wait for it...... ...... 238 kg!!!  :o :deal:

Will increasing the weight of the bar ends not act as a bit of a steering damper, making it easier to ride on loose surfaces such as sand?  The amount of torque needed to turn the steering will be increased, thus making it more "difficult" for the terrain to turn the steering through the front...

Who stocks Leo Vince slip-ons in Cape Town? Looking for one for a 2013 800 gs.

Question to the Eastern Cape gurus..... How long will it take to ride the following routes: A: Maclear to Rhodes via Potrivier & Naudesnek B: Rhodes to Wartrail via Tiffendell C: Wartrail to Telebridge via Lundeans D: Telebridge to Sterkspruit via Dulcies Thanks.

Will the standard curved sticky mounting bracket that came in the box with my Black Hero 3 be strong enough to secure the cam to my helmet?  It seems very small!  ???

Who sells them in CT and will have stock?

I have fitted a set of these.... ....from iWarehouse about 10 000 km back.  They are simply fitted with the velcro pads that are supplied with the kit, so sit within a few millimeters of the actual headlight lens.  Yesterday I removed them while cleaning the bike and noticed that the...

I have only visited the kloof once and that was on four wheels.  This biking-bucketlist item has now come into the 2012 spotlight.  The one question that immediately comes to mind:   Are the rivercrossings always passable on a bike?  If not, which months should one avoid? Thanks.

My 800GS has just returned from her 40k km service.  When should I replace her with a "younger" model? I'm not at all concerned about the resale value, etc.  My question is 100% based on reliability.  IOW if she is well maintained by the agents, up to what milage do you think reliability will...

Ma sukkel om te staan op die GS!  The tank flares pushes against her calves, making it uncomfortable (read: impossible) to stand on the pegs.  The solution would be to fit longer pegs, or spacers behind the pegs. Has anyone done this?  Pics?  ...or is there an off-the-shelf solution.
