Anyone using Fluid Film / know where to get it in Gauteng? I like the single product for cleaning and lubrication. I was considering a Scott Oiler until I heard the price - can buy a lifetime supply of Fluid Film instead.

My biker buddy, Garreth, was on the "bully beef" run with Michael Steyn to the Makgadikgadi pans, when a bakkie cut his trip short... They were riding near Steenbokpan, close to Ellisras when Garreth tried to pass the bakkie on the right. As he was passing, the bakkie suddenly turned right into...

Don't do it. It's not worth the pain and suffering. I bought my bike recently, from a guy who never registered it in his name, so it was still in the previous owner's name. However, the seller had the registration certificate and the yellow form, signed by the previous owner - so should have...

I've got a couple of spares from my bike collecting dust in the garage - make me offer... New: Osram H4 Nightbreaker 17" and 19" normal tubes Used: Standard screen (in perfect condition) Original footpegs with rubbers (scraped at the bottom from twisties) Original fork springs and spacers -...

Since my wife is pregnant and won't be getting on a bike any time soon, there's no point in keeping her gear in the cupboard for several years. The pants are cordura, with stretch kevlar for comfort in the crotch, and have soft armour in the knees and hips. Size 10/34 with an inside leg of...

Since my wife is pregnant and won't be getting on a bike any time soon, there's no point in keeping her gear in the cupboard for several years. The helmet is a Marushin 778 Storm, size Small (55-56cm), weight 1300g, date of manufacture Nov 2008. She's probably worn it for a total of 30 hours -...

Excuse my ignorance, but coming from a fuel injected bike, this quite new to me... (in fact, I forgot to open the petcock and wondered why I couldn't start the bike  :imaposer: ) As I understand it, reserve is not a separate fuel tank, but simply a "lower straw" than the main fuel feed. So when...

No, I haven't got one yet  ;) Crashbars / tank protection: Searching this forum and ADVrider, it appears crashbars are very expensive, hard to find, and tend to vibrate/break on the bike. Maybe I should look into some plastic tank protection, or improve my riding? Pannier frames: For now I'm...

I'm considering a KTM 640 Adventure in Plett - on paper/photos everything looks great, but I'd really like someone to verify it before I hand over the money... (otherwise I can fly to George and back next weekend for R1600!) PM me. Thanks

Hi, I'm looking for a KTM 640 Adventure, cash buy. Found it! Also, anyone who can check out one in Plett for me? Thanks Jan

So after much agonizing, my first bike is for sale  :'( But, if I want something taller, it needs to go... R46000 for: 2006 BMW F650GS with ABS and Heated Grips 31000km - all services with BMW High screen Barkbusters (left one scuffed from "sidestand incident") and 20mm raisers SW Motech...

Yes, this is another "which bike" thread... I've had my (standard) 2006 FG650GS for 2 years now, and it's time to "upgrade" to a bike with better off-road capabilities - bigger front wheel, more ground clearance, suspension, and better suited to my height - 1.9m. I know exactly which bike I...

Argh... Bikegear is out of stock until April, and I'd prefer to get them sooner... Any suggestions on where else to look?

After a year and half, and 20 000kms, it's probably time to put together a puncture repair kit! Lots of info on the forum, and my list is as follows: Wrenches to get the wheels off - rear 19mm and 24mm, front 8mm Allan and small Torx Tyre levers to get the tyres off - 2 Plastic thingamabobs to...

My bike has 100/90R19 front tyre currently. So this means it's a 19" rim, the tyre is 100mm wide, and the side height is 90% of the width. Right? (same as cars I assume) What would the impact be of fitting a different size tyre, e.g. 110/80R19? I know on a car the lower profile means less...

I'm taking my wife to Sabie on the bike for a weekend, first long trip for her, and I think this will improve relations with her...  ;) Not sure how often it will be used after that, so looking 2nd hand.

(I hope I'm not stepping on any toes... I am quite new here, and this ad is for a friend. Use it, don't use it...) 2006 F650GS, Iceberg Blue, 17500kms - R62 500 Bike is in very good condition and fitted with ABS, heated grips, top box, panniers, touring screen, HID/Xenon headlight, throttle...

After an accident earlier this month (https://forum.thinkbike.co.za/showthread.php?t=33162) I'm deciding whether to claim or not, seeing as the excess to repair cost ratio is rather high, and BMW Insurance is being sticky about the replacement parts. All my bike really needs is: New hand...

Hi, I've been lurking on these forums for about the same time as I've been riding, which is about a year. In the past year (9 months since I got my bike - a 2006 F650GS) I've done almost 15000kms on tar, most of it commuting between Pta and Jhb on the N1. I've only been on 2 significant...
