Hi Wild dogs, Does anyone know where I can source a bike gear rack that can take two helmets and two jackets, gloves and one boots in Cape Town? I have attached a picture of what im looking for, even if it looks similar. Thanks in advance!

So this seems to be a bit of a contentious topic, with some for and some against riding at night with LED spotlights. Now personally I ride with them on as they help me see better and they make me visible. The catch is that perhaps if I get stuck behind a car, the light would become irritating...

I have a guy in my complex who has an older adventure model bike, he recently bought new tyres for his adventure and they are Michelins to but more off road looking maybe 50/50 tyres? I have the anakee 3's on mine, but his wheels look way bigger? Is this due to the tyre being more geared...

Hey Wild Dogs. So im in the market for a Top Box, frighteningly expensive jobbies these, but I am starting to need the extra luggage capacity, a bag is just not cutting it anymore. Which brands should I stay away from and what would be a good recommendation? I was looking at the motorradical...

Hey Peeps, So I noticed the past week on my '17 GS LC Trophy(Done around 12000kms), that when letting out the clutch or pulling it in for that matter, usually around the clutch point, there is an odd vibration that occurs. Sometimes its quite strong other times barely noticeable. I dont have...

Hey Guys, So I have a couple badges on my leather vest, I have since cut the ends off to make them shorter and filed the edges to "Smooth" them out. I find they are still scratching my Jacket etc. How do you guys prevent this from happening? I heard of guys using a glue gun to glue the ends...

Hey Dogs, Im planning a trip to Jefferys bay in december and then another one to Kosi Bay June next year, I have a bony ass and would like a little extra seat time on my GS.. Has anyone got any sensible advice on which seat is better? Air or Gel? Regards, Kyle

Hey Wild Dogs, Has anyone worn a pair of these boots, how are they comfort wise? They are almost the same price as some of the more prominant name brands so i was curious to see if they are any good. Sent from my LG-H815 using Tapatalk

Not sure where this guy learnt to ride on the road. You travel from tableview side through to sable square/century city. Learn to lane split properly, travelling in the emergency lane alongside the vlei scares the car drivers and they move into the middle of the road where proper riders are...

Hey there, has anyone else experienced weird engine noises if you try to rev while in low gear and with the clutch in? So like for example this morning I was in second, pulled in the clutch and tried to blip the throttle at a naughty driver on his cellphone straddling the white line. The...

Hey Folks, Whats the general opinion on spotlights? I know the main argument is that they make you more visible during the day and night. But is that all really? Some of the LED lights can be quite pricey. Im all for the safety side, but was wondering if there are any other practical...

So I attended my first rally not too long ago, it was an absolute blast. One thing though was I struggled to get any sleep, even with ear plugs. Bike limiting and music still somehow gets through. Is it at all possible to recommend a set that does really well, or does anyone have any tips when...

This is likely in the manual, but I cant seem to find what the little numbers signify on the front brake lever. Mine is currently on 2? I know what the clutch dial does, is it similar on the brake lever? I just don't understand though why someone would want to reduce/modify anything to do with...

Hey Folks, Anyone here fitted a set of Berserker exhausts locally made to their GS before? They going for R4500 which is way below what you would pay for a yoshi or the like. But can you expect the same performance increase more or less? Anyone have experience dealing with them?

Hey Guys, I have been contemplating on the need for installing crash bars onto the bike or just tappet/cylinder covers only? I dont really take my GS off-road, mainly touring and on road riding. Is there any real point in having the top and bottom crash bar sets? Or just the cylinder covers(to...

Hey guys, So my GS has got the stock Michelin Anakee 3's on them(front and back), bike has only done about 4000kms with them. Just curious as to how long they normally last for with mainly tar riding? Also are there any other brands/tyres that are worth looking at if im doing 90% tar riding...

Hey guys an girls, I am planning on a trip from CT to Durban next year sometime(gives me time to buy more gear). Nothing special, planning to do it on the N1. Is there anyone that has done this on a GS1200 before? Do you have any tips for a trip like this. I reckon 3 days is enough going there...

Soo no doubt you guys have heard about the storm rolling in on wednesday and thursday? Anyone riding into work still? Or playing it safe and working from home? I once rode in hail, it was not alot of fun. Probably work from home this time if its as bad as the news is saying.

How many times has this happened to you guys/girls? In my 7 years of riding I have never hit a mirror, but this morning I managed to. Was coming through traffic normally and slowed down to practically a crawl because of a car hugging the white line, got through but heard a light *Tick* on my...

Hi there, I currently have my '17 BMW GS 1200 LC insured through momentum, premium of R932 with a flat excess of R2500. Is this normal for an insurance quote? Or is it actually very good? What are you guys paying for your insurance currently? I have had quotes from R3500 to R2300 to R1300 and...
