But if it takes the owner two minutes to remove the cover, wouldn't it take the thief roughly the same? He has all night. Am I missing something?

I have the Cardo Freecom 2X. My wife and I can chat while we ride which keeps her happier, otherwise she has to stare at the back of my helmet or look sideways for hours and she gets bored. A bored wife is not a happy pillion rider. I can also listen to MP3 music stored on my phone, or the...

Sell-by dates were invented by US retailers so that they can return "old" stock to their suppliers for exchange with "fresh" stock at no expense. There are many examples of how ludicrous this idea is, million-year-old salt and mineral engine oil being just two of them.

He already knows that, he has been doing it all his life, he just couldn't give a flying duck.

All modern oils are detergent oils and are designed to scavenge carbon deposits in the engine and put them into suspension so that they get dumped with the next oil change, so oil which discolours or turns dark fairly quickly is doing exactly what it was designed to do and can still continue...

I see that the same item on Takealot is pictured with an integral wind protector, but when you read the reviews that wind protector is not included with the units they supply. A bit of a bait-and-switch. I already have this Fire Maple stove but as the version which screws directly on top of the...

Thanks Malmoer for allowing us to participate on your journey, most of us doing so vicariously as we would LOVE to participate. I really enjoyed your video. Those blue tents look very practical for bike camping. What brand are they?

What a stunning bike! I wish you many exciting miles with it!

My "gap years" were 50! Back in the saddle now and loving every moment of these new machines.

Help please. I need to replace the front tyre on my F800GSA. The bike came with street tyres fitted (Pirelli Scorpion Trail 90/90-21) and because it had only 7500km on the clock I presume these were OEM standard. The rear tyre is still fine so I want to stay with the same front tyre although the...

I don't agree. If there had been no BMW or KTM to buy I would have bought whatever else was available and recommended. I am attracted to the adventure biking lifestyle, not to a brand. I don't think the market would become smaller with fewer manufacturers in it. 50 years ago the scramblers were...

Jeez, this sounds like a lot of fun. I have done some of that proposed route in a 4x4 but there is enough still on the list to sound very enticing, and (in any case) the experience of riding a route on a bike or driving it in a 4x4 is quite different. Problem is - it's a hell of a commute from...

Sorry, my mistake - Nature's Valley lies at the bottom of the Grootrivier pass on the R102. That's the only access road. The Bloukrans Pass is another 9km further on the same road.

The WC has to keep that road open because it is the only access to Nature's Valley where thousands of people live and holiday.

@Altie7deLaan - "Will never understand the hype of the land crawling MSC Sinfonia" I think that you are confusing popularity with practicality. The vast number of BMW adventure bikes will never see one metre of gravel or dirt, just like the luxury SUVs and 4x4s sold. People buy them for their...

How will you see the kudu standing in the road?
