    Throttle stuck open after bike was transported

    So, after my 800GS was shipped to CT, the transport guy starts it up to get it off the trailer (for whatever reason). He said the bike just hit the red line in no time, so he shut it off again... Does this make any sort of sense? It was perfect when he collected it. Now there are issues. His...

    Quick trip to Darlington Dam

    So last Friday I decided to head out to Darlington Dam via Greystone, seeing that it was my last day of leave. I left at 05:00. At about 05:30 I took the Glenconnor turnoff (point B on the map). About 1km onto the gravel road, I got to a "Road Closed" sign. Flood damage. Crap. So I decided to...

    So on Saturday I decided that I'm going to look the the fork to Steytlerville again. This time I knew the route, and I knew that the fork was 36km from the Sandrivier dam. Lucky for me I took my Camelback and a few eats with. The wind was terrible, but I was not going to let that get me down...

    Short exploratory trip - I missed the fork...

    So, after a few exploratory views on Google Earth and Google Maps, I decided to give the gravel route between Rocklands (just outside Uitenhage for those who do not know) to Patensie a go. This was also partly due to a chat I had with an old school buddy the other day. Saturday morning, 06:30...

    The "swart gevaar" is home...

    Yup, got home, and there it was.

Parked it in the graatch, cleaned it a little...
