    This question has probably been ask a thousand times but I can't find the answers on the forum. I'm looking for a honest, no BS BMW mechanic (not a plug and fix) that can service my F650GS twin (800cc). I've found two guys on the BMW forum but the post is 2 years old and a lot can change in...

    Don't ride like a dwoos

    Similar thing happened on the N1 into town.  Two bikes of which one was a GS1200 overtaking traffic at a crazy speed in the yellow lane just before the off ramp and please note...not one of them actually took the off ramp. This is not just very stupid and obviously breaking the law but it does...

    What's the differences?

    Thanks for all the advice. I'm going to be using the bike for commuting only at this stage.  Can't see that I'll use the bike for any off road riding for the next 3+ years due to family commitments.  I was thinking about the 1200 but then at a budget of R50k you don't find them with low km's. ...

    Best bike for the job and Winter in Cape Town

    I appreciate the help guys.  @Zebra - Will be looking at those covers more closely.  I currently have a Big Boy Revival 150cc. @Sputnik - The TransAlps are excellent bikes and at R27k you got a bargain.  Ideally I don't want to spend more than R20k so my options are very limited.  Having had...

    Best bike for the job and Winter in Cape Town

    I'm new to the bikers community.  Started using a bike for my daily commute about 4 months ago.  I'm contemplating upgrading but my needs are simple and all the options are truly confusing. I'm looking for a reliable commuter that is economical and that won't brake the bank.  I know that a BMW...
