So,, my 2006 GSA dropped a valve... Quote from BMW is 39k which on a 70k bike does not seem worth it. but selling it for parts is also not an option for me. At first I thought that I'll rebuild it myself but after I read pleco's whole tread it seems like finding an engineering shop or reputable...

Need some advice please. About a week ago I bent the outer rim of my 1200 Adventure fron wheel. I then took this TMS in Centurion to get fixed as they assured me that they can do this easily. When I got the rim back and after fitting it, the brake disc would rub against the caliper when turning...

Had my friends bachelors on Saturday so I decided that it was a good opportunity to go and explore some of the gravel roads in that area. Was a bit slow in getting going so after I picked some refreshments for the bachelor I got on the highway on my way to the States. I got on to gravel just...

Planning to ride sani over easter. I want to know if someone knows the state of the road from sani to katse as I will be doing this with panniers and pillion. A friend told me that it took them more than 7 hours to do with a 4x4.

I would like to hear your opinions on this. Thought about it this morning while riding to work, something like the "Anti Crime Run" ??? Does any one know if something like this exists or being planned? If not, what would it take to organize?
