Has anybody here ridden one? What are your impressions. I have an option to buy a 2016 one with 1300 kms on the clock. It is the limited edition scrambler. Bear in mind that our dirt roads are way better than those in SA so comments about suspension travel and not having 21 inch front wheels are...

Hi Guys I am restoring a little CR 125 at present. The idea was to ride it in VMX here. I need a front chain slider, the one that wraps around the swing-arm. HondaNZ just simply say that the bike is out of production for too long and they don't carry spares any longer. I KNOW that you can get...

I want to link up with any WDs who might be living permanently on the North Island. There have been RRs of guys who have traveled there but I would like to meet up with someone who knows the region north of Auckland for future rides. Anybody?

Drazil has double bragging rights. First he organised a brilliant site for this weekend's camp-over and he caught a 2.8kg bass! I don't think that I have ever seen one that big. Kally had organised a trip for a few Slumdogs to take place this past weekend and the venue for the sleep-over was...

Hi Guys I have replaced my plastic belly-pan/valence thingy with an aluminium bash-plate. There must be someone here who has damaged theirs and is looking for a replacement. It's for fee. You organise transport/ courier. I live in East London.

Hi Guys. I have a MITAS E-07 100/90/19 front tyre for sale. I have done about 900 kays on it only. I damaged my rim on my 700 Transalp and instituted an insurance claim. Hondawing replaced the tyre and tube as well and then asked me to take them as salvage. I am relocating at the end of January...

Morning guys. I am thinking of visiting the island of Cyprus in June. I know there was a thread some years ago about a pair of riders who rented 250s and toured the island but I can't find it. Has anybody any info on where to rent bikes and what the dual-sport options are. There are mountains up...

The less said about road-bikers revving their expensive bikes to the rev-limiters the better but we went to the QT rally because Butch and his team ALLWAYS put on a good show for the dual-sporters. As we arrived we were given Printed and laminated maps of the green route and red route and that...

Hi Dogs. I need some help please. Some time back there was a thread on tool rolls. Some one like Topbox or Runner supplied them but I can't find the thread. Please can some one or the gent who manufactures them point me in the right direction. My seamstress (read SWAMBO ) refuses to use her...

Ok Guys and Girls, I have been asked why we in the EL area don' have social rides, the last one being a year ago to Hogsback so here goes: WHEN: 9, 10, 11 March 2012 WHERE: THOMAS RIVER HISTORICAL VILLAGE just off the road between Stutterheim and Cathcart and behind the Amathole range. WHAT...

Do any of the Slumdogs know if the Toy Run this year is taking place on this Sunday, 27 Nov 2011? We hear on AlgoaFM of the PE guys holding theirs this weekend but nothing about EL.

Dogs in Gauteng please help. There is a company in GT which does revamps and rebuilds of old XRs. I need their name and contact details please as I have not had any joy with Honda yet regarding the chain slider for this bike. I remember seeing an article in DIRT and TAIl on them but no longer...

Hi Guys. I bought an XR250R kickstart model this past weekend. These bikes were grey imports and this one was indeed one used in the Japanese market. I want to identify what year model it is as I would like to order a few parts starting with the chain slider. I know there are clever WDs out...

This will mostly appeal to Slumdogs but all are welcome. I am planning a ride from EL to Hogsback via Mcleantown, Bolo, Henderson, Ferndale and on to the Cathcart Country Club where we will have lunch. From there via Happy Valley to Hogs. Here I need some help. Do we camp or do we stay at...

A group of aggressive and belligerent locals was enticing us to approach, wielding their fighting sticks and shouting,’Bulala! Bulala!’ ( Kill!) They had blocked the road to the Bawa Falls, some elevated in the back of a Toyota bakkie and some closing the gap between the bakkie and the edge of...

This is an appeal to the TA owners. I would prefer to use soft panniers and thus get the COG of the bike lower but that very wide (500mm) carrier pushes the luggage too far out. This past weekend I used a dry-bag on the tail. It was OK but the weight is concentrated fairly high. Dustdevil's...

Hi dogs and dogesses.( It sounds better than the other word.) My son is finishing up at UCT this month and he needs to sell his scoot. I have not seen the bike but from the photo it looks to be original except for the exhaust. There is some surface rust from the Cape winter rains. It has...

My brother is a die-hard Triumph supporter and currently rides a Triumph Bonneville America. I am trying to get him to ride DS bikes with me. Will a Triumph scrambler cope as a DS bike? I do not know this bike and have never ridden one. It also does not feature on this forum so I am thinking...

Guys my DRZ 400 2007 model is for sale. Retail price is R 42 300.00. My price R 40 000.00. I hardly ride the bike and will replace it with a small plastic; TTR230 or CRF 230. Extras include carrier and soft luggage frames, Hyde bash plate, Hyde bark busters, 44 tooth sprocket ( original...

Hi Guys. I know this is not the best entry level DS bike for my 22 year old son who has been riding my DRZ 400 with me. However the guy who is selling only wants R 15 000.00. So this is driven by price. The bike is a 1990 model with the Ducati 750 90degree V-twin motor. Ducati badging on the...
