The point of all posts in this section is try and get an overall view of the characteristics (good or bad) of each tyre listed in order to help people select the tyre that best suites their needs. The more people who vote the more those characteristics should emerge. BUT THAT WILL ONLY OCCUR...

Just seen a FB post for Michelin Pilot Road 4 Trail tyres but the price seems like a scam. "Needing new rubber? Don't miss out on this once in a life time special. R2700 per set fitted plus FREE bike cover. Give us a call on 031 701 4772." Comments are that they can send it to Gauteng but you...

Just a mention for the winner of MotoGP superbru. Yes thats right it was me.

We are going to ride around Red Star on 1 August 2014, this is not a Wilddog event or even dual sport only, it is an open day at Red Star but there will be lots of space in the C and D classes to go and feel out your dual scoot. I think anyone who has gone before can confirm that not only is...

As an option ex works, the R 1200 GS Adventure can now also be fitted with a lowered suspension. In conjunction with a reduction in seat height by 30 mm to 860 mm, the R 1200 GS Adventure is now also within reach of customers for whom the previous seat height posed an insurmountable obstacle. If...

I have a virtually new touring screen for a 1200 LC. I had just bought it when I had to have an operation and could not use the bike for 3 months. Then when I could use it my Adventure had arrived and it already has a touring screen. I think the new price is R3800.00 at GPS4Africa. My price...

I don't know why it took me so long to do a quick ride report, probably all the public holidays that made me lazy. The trip down was cold but very enjoyable. i started out with a group of riders but at a stage Bruce, Anton and myself wanted to go fast, so we split from the group and went ahead...

So a few weeks ago I bought myself the ARAI TourX4. You  get it in many colours but I picked the Mission Black. This is not a cheap helmet, but then good things cost more. I tried the Uvex which looks to be a nice helmet, don't know if its just me but the crown lining runs right accross my...

I bought my first Scala Rider a few years back and it worked with my Blackberry phone of the time, then I got a new Blackberry and it didn't work any more. Scala told me that their all their headsets except the most expensive one are not A2DP compliant. I was understandably miffed but blamed...

So after months of waiting for her, Lara has arrived. Unfortunately I had to trade Xena so happiness is tinged with a little sadness as well. I will not be able to test her for the next two weeks but will report back on the experience for anyone considering the new 2013 model. Currently only...

I am selling the front and rear seats for an Adventure, they are are brand new. I used them for a week while the damaged ones were repaired and then kept them as backup. The old ones were repaired so well that BMW traded the bike with the repaired seats on, so I am left with these that don't...

I need to get a small harddrive to Cape Town by tomorrow, if anyone is flying out today and can take it along it would be much appreciated. My number is oh, eight, free, 271, six, one, 86

Late last year the Strom was in and Fox loaned me his GSA. After spending a few weeks with the GSA this happened yesterday. I am so happy, just this running in period is frustrating.

My good friend Fox (Newbie Fox on the WD forum) has been doing a long solo trip down to Mosselbay and surrounds (ride report to follow). Unfortunately he managed to piss off the driver of a Parmelat truck who then waited for him to slow down and drove over him. Luckily the wheels missed his...

This morning as I was brushing my teeth I caught a glimpse of the TV as the wife had switched it on and tuned to BBC Food. Usually I would not have given it a second thought but I saw bikes in the desert (desert as in sand not pudding, English is a funny language). Apparently these guys travel...

I took my V-Strom 1000 in to Suzuki Toy Store Centurion as the bike started using oil and the engine started to sound rough. The bike is 7 months old and has done 6500km. I have serviced it on 1000km and again on 3000km each time the oil and air filters were replaced. Today it transpires that...

The day started with an SMS from Cavegirl regarding the big storm. I walked outside into a glorously clear day and informed CG that it was fine in Pta. Of course what I should have done is looked South. Needles to say by 8:00 it had moved in from the South and was coming down in Pta as well...
