Hi guys Some of you may remember me, I have been a bad forum whore and have not been very active in the last year or so. I need help selling my bike, or a seller wanting a full adventure kit in one purchase. Cancer has finally eaten away my spine and well as a paraplegic I can no longer do the...

Hi guys I have not been on here for a while. I had a few back operations and all that and was back on the bike for a while. The cancer has returned though and well lets just say that selling my bike is letting go of a piece of myself. I just cannot afford to ride it anymore. Even as I am typing...

So I am looking for a 5VZ-FE engine. This is the same motor as was found in the Prado's, 3.4l V6. I plan to sink this one into my older SFA Hilux for a bit more OOMPH. It would be a bonus if the engine if secondhand came from a manual transmission vehicle with an intact ECU. If from an...

Guys I have a canopy that I had on my Toy that I want to sell. Reason: converted the bakkie to a more hunting friendly (read pipe frame and seat) arrangement and have the touring canopy extra now. Has 2 jerry can lockable brackets. Roof rack with wooden slats and tarp cover. Mount points for...

So at the risk of betraying myself as a timid road warrior I have a question. But first a qualifying statement, preceded by an acknowledgement. I can stare in wonder at guys that can really ride! Hats off to you. Specially on gravel and perhaps my question has two answers one for gravel and one...

Hey Anyone want to sell a second hand Jiko and/or ATG stretcher? Failing that can someone in PE supply new? Thanks, SP

Would like to / prefer to support a forum vendor. I am looking for a chain for the 800. I like the DID chains. Is there any forum vendor with a good price around?

I found this post on another forum. The author basically posted a pic of almost every single pannier system available for the 800. Very interesting to see the variety of equipment available in Europe. https://www.ukgser.com/forums/showthread.php?p=2112802

I do not feel like writing another learners license. So I though before mine expires again in June I'll go do the real thing. Lo and behold The earliest appointment is end of July in PE, Kirkwood and Uitenhage. WTF? Are there so many bikers that the testing is booked out 4 months ahead of time...

Mmm need some sage advice and a little experience here. my machine is getting a little clunky in the gears department. Symptoms are a less than 100% smooth gear shift every now and then, the odd (very seldom) false neutral and the one that concerns me most when starting in 1st with the clutch...

Guys and gals If anyone is in a position to help TAZ please do. Taz and I did a seat swop. She wanted my low seat and I did not mind taking her normal high seat for the 800. Problem is TAZ is leaving on a trip tomorrow and the couriers will not have the low seat to her in time. She is leaving...

Hi guys. Hoping someone can assist. TAZ has a 800 high seat she wants to swop for my low seat. Taz is in JHB and of course SlowPoke is in PE. We need to get the one down and the other up. So if any dogs can help with some space on a truck somewhere to send a 800 seat down from JHB to PE where I...

Hi guys I have two pairs of Vixen leather boots. A size 8 and a size 10 (UK sizes). The tall type. I wear a size 9 and it is a long story how I ended with the two other sizes. They are very comfy and great for commuting and even light duty off road. I use mine as my primary pair of shoes -...

Hey all. Does anyone know where I can buy HOK automotive paints for use in airbrushing in South Africa? The HOK US website lists creative rides in JHB as the dealer but the web site is defunct and the contact person does not work there anymore it seems... As a second choice I may use Auto air...

Welcome This thread is here to assist Drazil and me to plan a long range 2 to 3 week trip from PE, through Namibiee, the Kaprivi, Vic Falls and back down through Botswana.  Now neither of us have done this before and part of this thread is to gather information, tips and plans on how to do this...

Any dogs in the area. I feel like doing a bit of very technical riding and the closest place I can think of is kakkerlaksvlei and jagtersvlakte. I want to play with the 800 a bit and learn more of it's capabilities. so it will not be a balls to the wall mad chase as with the little 650's or...
