From the 3 pics it actually looks to be in pretty good condition, and well taken care of 🤔 And if it is in fair condition it would be a good buy I reckon I bought a BMW XChallenge from that same branch end of last year, and Ive been super happy with it - great bike at a good price. Andre...

Aah, dit maak sin Baie hartseer vir sy familie😏

I drove north on Carl Cronje around 19:40 last night, and before and under the the N1 bridge crossing Carl Cronje there were about 50+ bikers parked at the side of the road and under the bridge, with traffic police all over and cars backed up. Any idea what that was about?

When my dad did his 1st ever learners license at 71 he was also the oldest there by far - got the highest mark in the group and the instructor said to everyone " Now tháts how you do it!". 😄 He is due to go and get his proper license soon, and contemplating doing a solo ride from CT to Empangeni...

Im also on my 2nd learners, but need to do my lisence asap to carry a pillion legally and just remove the schlepp of writing a learners again And I see the waiting time at Brackenfell is just 3 days - but i need a bit more time to get my ducks in a row 😄

Fuzzy, where around CT do you go for more technical DS riding?

PM'd you, thanks Paddy

Ok ok, I've been eyeing this all day Paddy, I'm 1.89 and 84kg, so it should work, right? If you reckon so I'll take it, and just check what courier will work best Will chat to you in the morning 😃

Aah, and therein lies the dilemma - a) I've got slightly old school taste, a value for money mindset, I do not fancy all these super modern adjustable-everything, ridiculously over priced and over specced things b) I can not afford something that I would like as much as the 950 anyway, and c)...

I love it 😍 That sound is why I have thought for so long that I should do the financially sensible thing and sell my 950, but find myself unable to 😈 And I find it incredible how they manage to ride like that without the high fender mod - got the idea that the std low fender hampered the bike...

Hmmm, your tyre pressure interests me - what would you have it at the rear if you were going for a camping weekend (25kg gear, and I weigh 84kg without gear) - 150-200km tar run vs the 800km gravel, some of it a little rocky? Maybe 240 rear on the tar and drop it to 180, or just 180 or less...

I've ridden a mate's GS1200 for a weekend, mostly on tar - it is a comfortable, high quality bike that corners well (on tar anyway), accelerates quickly without it feeling so and eats miles without you knowing it. It gets you places efficiently My 950 though, is a beast that makes me feel like...

Hi Dak Would you consider selling the side pannier racks separately should the bike end up going to WBC? They will most likely offer you the same price with or without those GLWS anyhow 👍🏼

Die wit Touratech tenks op my XChallenge het ook oor tyd van wit na cream gegaan, en nou begin dit na lig bruin neig. Voel of die proses die laaste jaar baie vinniger gebeur het

Not quite a superbike, but I might be able to get my hands on a '99 BMW K1200RS thats been gathering dust since 2009 - gonna try and have a look at it this week. No idea what I will do with though What knobblies will fit on it, and is the gearing suitable for Ouberg Pass or Die Hel?

Jo, ek wetie of my skaal verkeerd is nie, maat ek wetie hoe julle op so min kilos inkom nie 😳

Gequote van my vorige ride report, en biki ge-edit: "Packed with everything I need to be on the road for a few days, camping, self sufficient, the 2 Rockfox side panniers and Flying Brick top bag together weighs around 25kg, including 3.5L water, chair, food, tent, compressor, rain gear, 2...

The closest bike to the 640, that can actually do everything pretty well is probably the BMW XChallenge. Im happy to do 1800km in 3 days, stock airshock and stock seat (which really should be called a plank) 20-24km/L, rider dependant Happily cruises at 130 with stock gearing - a touring screen...

Not sure whether it has been posted here already Alternative non-BMW parts:

Thats a good price - if I didnt get some Rockfox ones (which looks very similar) a while ago these wouldve been on their way to CT now 👌🏼
