It's a sad day for me. My Capo's new owner picked it up last night. He bought it off gumtree without even seeing it in real life. He drove up from Umtata to R/Bay, loaded the bike, paid cash and drove off. No test ride or anything. My son just started the bike for him. According to my wife he's...

Guys, need to take out insurance for the laaitie's NXR 125 but my insurers(bikes) don't insure small bikes. Also the household insurance (House & car) which is in my wife's name (Because they spupposedly pay less) don't insure bikes. Can anyone suggest an insurer which will cover everything...

Guys, I often go riding around and take pictures of interesting things I see here in Angola. I have previously posted some pics and thought it might be a good idea to start a thread where I can add pictures as I take them. This not bike related as the Capo is standing snuggly under covers at...

After LR's GS ended up at the dealer for the Klunking problem to be sorted, they phone her today to tell her the the fork seals are bust.  :'( Now I cannot remember noticing anything before and the dealer did not pick it up little more than a month ago, on the 10k service (because it's not one...

Lady Rat took her GS out for the first time since the 10k service more than a month ago. She sez the gears make a load klunking sound when you engage them and aven when you change gears. It carries on, even if the bike is hot. What could it be? Could BMW have put the wrong oil in the engine? I...

I'm a member of the Aprilia Forum and dared mention, on a tread about drilling holes in pipes and what results could be expected, that I had gutted my pipes and that the V-twin sounds glorious. The next minute this Yank, climbed into me for doing that, and he ended up being very personal about...

So, the missus is the proud owner of a '07 650GS, but because she is a bit vertically challenged we thought it best to get her a lower seat for the bike. So we go to our local BM dealer and order one. Was nogal very impressed with the service because it was there a day later :thumleft:. By this...

After much uhmming and ahhing, we went to pick this up from Groenie over the past weekend. I'm still trying to come to grips with the fact that a German is sharing space with my baby, but the missus is happy and I guess that is the important part. Bike goes real well despite the fact that...

So, I ordered the book by Lodie de Jager called "Noord van Naboom" so I can read about his trip through Africa, but since I'm here in Darkest Africa, the missus started reading it and now I have TROUBLE. She has, for  as long as I have known her, wanted her own bike. a Pegasso nogal, but I've...

Got this little NXR for the laaitie. Not my preferred brand, but he has to start somewhere. Seems to be quite a capable little scoot, judging from posts on the forum. Cannot understand why they don't have disc brakes though. :-\ :-\
