    BikerJan plans a Mancave

    Daai "mancave" gaan groter en mooier wees as Klerksdorp se KTM handelaar. [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787] Lyk uitstekend. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    the tale of my 1190 RRRRRRRR

    I haven't gotten around to the wrap yet. Been too busy racking up mileage. I got her on 8000km when she was just under 2 years old. I've put on 6000km in the 2.5 months I've had her. [emoji23] I also had to sell my Jeeps first to free up some capital. One down, one left to go, then I can do the...

    SHOW US PICS OF YOUR PETS - Poll added

    I feel your pain. My ex rescued a kitten against my wishes (I'm allergic to cats, and own a rotte and a boerboel that hate cats). But the little bugger crept into my heart. At first I named it Ding, because I didn't want it getting named and staying. That developed into Liefieding, and she would...

    Why would a bike blow out coolant?

    Congrats. Hopefully this one restores your faith in the orange beasts. They are truly amazing machines. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    What is your dreambike?s

    Agreed. Just wish the price wasn't over R700k. [emoji15] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    New to me 1290R

    That's a beautiful machine. Congrats. And I would also listen to Alfie's advice. [emoji16] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    Brake pads sintered or ceramic??

    I don't touch the rear on tar. The ABS is meant to decided how much front and back are needed. Back brake is for sliding on gravel only. [emoji6] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    1090R - Questions

    The 1090 is a solid bike. The only thing I want to reiterate is the tyre budget. Buy 5 at a time. All tyres fitted to these things turn to marshmallow within 5 minutes. I've done 5000km, and I need to buy my 3rd rear tyre this week. Personally, I'm not a fan of the harder Heidenaus and other...

    2 weeks for Namibia by 4x4 SUV

    I love the Lonely Planet books. The link below isn't quite as detailed as the book, but it has a ton of good info. Maybe try order the book. https://www.lonelyplanet.com/namibia Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    KTM 790 ADVENTURE

    While I agree with what it looks like, I think I'll reserve judgement until the bike comes out. Or maybe even the second version where they've fixed the inevitable problems. [emoji6] Luckily I just bought my 1190, so I'm OK to wait another year or two before my ass itches. If it's as bad as it...

    Life in America - We made the move.

    I heard an interesting bit of advice from a very interesting source. I watched a Google Talk by Frank Abagnale (the person Catch Me If You Can was about) yesterday. All 1 hour and 8 minutes of it. It was that good. But anyway. In the Q&A afterwards, they asked him what one piece of advice he...

    KTM ADV Rallye Swaziland 23 Aug to 26 Aug 2018

    Tie a petrol soaked rag to a long piece of rope behind your bike, and light it as you go through the area. I want to see if that "fire-fighting pool" works.  :pot:

    Life in America - We made the move.

    That's not a bad idea for security here in SA. Maybe pull up the stairs at night like a drawbridge and have some crocodiles in the garden. [emoji23] Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    Why would a bike blow out coolant?

    I actually just asked him to do the service instead of letting an appy do it. He ignored me, and it cost the dealership a customer and an engine. But what would I know? I was just the sales manager. Sent from my SM-G955F using Tapatalk

    Beware - Patetiese motorfiets-vervoer diens Jan Bac transport/koerier

    Serious question here. Does the Superduke calculate distance travelled using the front or back wheel? I know it has sensors on both wheels for ABS, but which one is used for distance travelled? Either one would be wrong. Front wheel would be missing out on quite a few kilos because it likes to...

    Why would a bike blow out coolant?

    Mechanics usually get paid for how many hours they book. So, if KTM says your service  should take 2.5 hours, they bill you for that, and he gets paid per billed hour. So if he can finish your service in 1 hour, he can squeeze more jobs in for the day, making more money. And yes, for basic...
