I bought a utility 250 yamaha with smooth back tires. Only going to be used to launch my small boat in the river. If anyone has a used set, I will offer reasonable value for them..new ones are around R1650 each.

A friend is doing a restoration. Asked me to redo the forks, but they are too far gone.. I think yhe 360 had the same tubes? 34 dia by 575 long. Any help or point us in the direction would be appreciated. 

Since there has quite a bit of interest in steel work, I decided to start a thread where basically anything involving building machines, tools or parts that can assist the DIY'er.  The idea is that we can share ideas, techniques, designs and drawings. Sure, there is plenty on Y-tube, but most...

Not knowing much about quad bikes, I needed something to tow my small boat to the river and back. It's too difficult to turn around with my Land Rover, so the quad is hopfully the next best thing. I'm not sure if it is going to be strong enough to pull the boat out, so might have to look at some...

Have this annoying engine light with error code #463 flashing on my DRO? How do I cancel this? It's probably got something to do with the injection system? 

On my way to work, I saw a GS that had been taken out by a white Carolla. Not sure what happened. Was stuck in the wrong lane to stop and assist. there was already a few cars stopped to help. I could see the rider moving. Hope he is ok. Anyone know more about it?

I need to send a BMW tank to CPT from East London or PE. I'm going to PE for the weekend so I can take it as far as that. Willing to pay towards petrol.

Scratching around in the cupboard, i found this old pic of my Dad. I'm guessing around late 1950. Although he mainly had BMW's in this pic he is on some other old bike. Who can guess what it is?

Saw a terrible accident at around 05h30 this morning on the west bank highway on my way to work. Cannot make out what actually happened but the bike is beyond recognition. They had a blanket over the rider, so must have died on impact. RIP dude.

... Now that have all the Airheads attention, does anyone have a R100 or similar flywheel lying around? I need one. Long story.... :biggrin: Please PM me.

Been following the "afordable sidecar thread" and don't want to hijack it with my questions. I really think they look cool and are probably a scream to ride in, but what is like to control these things. How safe are they, and how easy is it to loose control? What speed can you do with your...

After seeing the bulk buy of Prepsol, I couldn't help, but start this thread. I've been using some no name brand engine cleaner for a few years now. Works like a charm. Spray on, leave for 10 min and wash off. Thick dirty black hardned oil disolves in front of your eyes. So the last time I...

The Gotcharator is stuck with fuel pump problem any dogs that can assist? Plese post on this thread. I,m in contact with him on whatsup.

The time has come to part with CS. She is is fairly good condition with the normal small scratches of a 30 year old bike. The motor is sweet. Zorsts are a bit loud, but sounds the moer in! Cost me over 5k, full stainless system. She comes with panniers and a spare back tyre (90% tread) Some...

I thought I'd post some of the pics on my tank build for those who are interested and also for those who want to have a go at doing some DIY FB stuff. I was lucky enough to get a tank from Chairman Meo, that someone had built out of rough aluminium. What I liked about the tank was that the fuel...

Need a car for my daughter. She is going to study in CPT next year and need to get her up and driving properly before she goes, so time is few. These are the cars I'd be interested in and to have 1 airbag at least: 1) Getz 2) Picanto 3) i10 4) Polo 5) Sirion 6) Terrios (old shape) 7) Spark...

Can't seem to find anything on the Dispatch site, but heard that a guy and his wife were tragically killed on the NE experessway yesterday. Saw terrible pictures this morning. No one seems to know what happened, but the wife was torn into pieces, even her head was ripped off and lying about 10m...

This is the place where you can post you pics, ask you questions, tell us about your upgrades and basically discuss anything about the old timers. I' start with my old faithfull. She's an 81, kept basically standard other than the Siebenrock upgrade and little farkles added. Some of the work...
