    Ons Afrikaners like om mekaar te ...................

    In 2010 het ek die radiator op my ZX 10 verloor.  n Klip het reg deer hom gehardloop en n gat so groot soos n R2 stuk in hom gelaat.  Kawasaki vra my op daai stadium kort van R 13 500.00 vir n nuwe een met n 9 weke wag tyd.  Bike Hospital was nie ver agter nie.  Ek het vir 7 maande gesoek na...

    Where can I buy oil at a good price???

    See if you can find a oil distributor.  In Paarl we buy straight from Castrol and Total.  All our oils are less than half the price.  Opens your eyes as to how much markup the shops put on oil... I know they sold Castrol Power 1 for R 70.00 a liter. Actevo was dirt cheap at something like R...

    Multistrada vs BMW XR video

    Ek dink hierdie klas van motorfiets gaan baie sterk word.  The BMW XR 1000, Mulistrada, Kawasaki Versys 1000, om maar net n paar te noem.  Die 1000 Versys is beslis my volgende bike.  Ek doen bitter min grond paaie en amper geen ordentlike "off road" nie. Hierdie motorfietse tick al die regte...

    How long does it take to do a 60 000 km service on a 990 Adv?

    My 45 000 km service I was charged 8 hours.  It was a major service and they did everything needed.  Nothing special and nothing needed extra attention.  I was also quoted R 5 500.00 for my service, by KTM Cape Town.  I ended up taking the bike to Superbike Solutions.  Cost a bit more but the...

    Puzey XV 250 ENDURO ???

    I bought my girlfriend the 200 cc Puzey a few years back.  The bike never gave us any hassles and she rode it all over.  But it was built cheap and nasty.  The amount of time I spent keeping the bike in top shape was crazy.  There was always something wrong after every trip. Look for a second...

    Trans Alp 700 maintanace??

    On a bike that you ride every single day...don't fix what ain't broken.  Keep an eye on your wear and tear parts and replace as needed.  Preventative maintenance is good, but today's bikes are built really well.

    Baviaans in December - what is it like?

    I went through the Baviaans with the 690 last December.  It was the day after Christmas and it was mental.  I stayed in Plett for many years and I've never seen so many vehicles in the kloof.  Some of the drivers were insane.  Be very very careful around the corners.  The 4x4's really don't care...

    How do you do it?

    R 4 000.00 for a major service with the dealer isn't bad.  I'd have it done by a good mechanic.  On the 990 I'll do oil/filter and screens.  I'll replace my air filter and pads, sprockets and chain.  The valve clearance, brake fluid flush, coolant change and stuff like that I leave to a...

    When is the kilos too high?

    I took a friends 990 R for a ride yesterday.  His bike is at 22 000 km and is much quieter than mine.  My bike is approaching 50 000 km fast and has a much louder mechanical sound than his bike.  I do ride my bike very hard.  With lots of extended wheelies, racing up and down Hellshoogte and...

    Bike Hot and Oil pressure issues (problem has been solved)

    Earlier this year I did a ride in the Richtersveld.  It was hot...above 40 degrees in places.  The fan was running most of the 6 ours that we were on the bikes.  My bike was fine and never had me worried with weird noises or anything.  My friends 990 did the same thing.  His engine got very...

    Watch.

    He shat himself and got fixated on the truck.  There was no way he was going to miss that truck.  His riding style including the way he sits on the bike is all wrong...that was a prang waiting to happen.

    used parts

    Try the Motorcycle Graveyard in Knysna.  Speak to Elzanne 081 427 4614 They break up plenty of bikes every month, and a few KTM's as well.  If they don't have it, they'll find it.

    KTM 1190R trumps the Honda 1000at

    I have to agree.  The 1190 is a "race ready" machine, where the Africa Twin is no where close.  It's like comparing a Polo to a Golf R...pointless.  I've ridden the new Africa Twin twice, the second time on a longer ride, and I think it's a good motorcycle.

    What is a modern day legend bike?

    I think the KTM 950/990 will definitely be there.  I also think the first and third generation Kawasaki ZX 10 R will be there.
