    Is the tow-hitch thingy on the 660Z of any use...?

    I say YES! Dit was so amper 'n 'disaster', maar op die ou einde 'n lekker avontuurtjie en als deel van 'n Vrydagoggend se 'werk'... Die vrou moes maar met die prado en kabel kom en die hitch plek was net die antwoord. Na ek die hoë modderskerm opgesit het, het ek gelukkig die klein rakkertjie...

    Dogs, I have checked two other Tenere's and all, including mine I just got, are only licensed to carry 1 person... What the heck!? The KLR, my friends 1991 XT750Z and most bikes over 125cc (I think!?) are licensed to carry 2. I asked the Yam agent in Vereeniging and they've never realised/seen...

    Using bike for work- what rate to charge...?

    I was so surprised at my boss's positive reaction when I suggested I use my KLR for some of my ECO (Environmental Control Officer-ja die groenpolisieman...) work on site (installation of pipeline here on the highveld). But of course his main reason was because he saw an oppertunity for the...
