I know I should probably post this on a quad forum, but there seems to be very little activity and then I have to register to another forum... So I'm asking the Wilddogs who also ride quads: Seeing as they are not road legal, where do you ride them? Obviously around Cape Town we have places...

Hi I'm looking for quad bike. Not a racing or play thing, but rather an ATV workhorse like the Polaris Smortsman range (https://www.polaris.com/en-us/atv-quad) It doesn't have to be new, but it has to run good. Something with independent rear suspension will be ideal. Must be able to ride 2...

My old (unsure of year model) KX250 is free to whoever wants it. Dibs on the thread (and not via pm) and collect within a week... The photo below is an oooold one, but should give an idea of the year model etc. The following is wrong with it:  The gear shifter shaft (running into the engine)...

Mods, please move if this is not the right section... wasn't sure where to place it Hi All I'm planning a weekend in the snow in Aug (long weekend). I would like to rent a quad bike (utility, not racing) for the weekend as this makes for an easy trip to the top. Does anyone know of companies...

Not sure if this is the right place to post this... I would like to borrow/rent someones F4 interphone system for this coming weekend. I have one of these units in my helmet and I am going away for the weekend with a pillion. Would be great if I could have some communication going during the...

Hi A pin came loose on my rear brake assembly and now I cannot use my rear brake at all. Basically number 2,3,4 and 5 on the below picture fell off. BMW will take 3 weeks to get it. Question: Does anyone know where I can get these parts? Maybe a bike scrapyard? I know there is one in JHB...

Hi Aiming to buy a Leatt brace shortly. Anyone know of any shops running very good specials at the moment?

Hi Anyone doing the Bonnievale Bonanza enduro? This will be my first "race" so I would like to know at least one person there to ask for advise etc. A friend of mine has challenged me to do the 65km MTB in the morning and then run over to the Bike and start the enduro. (I might chicken out...

Hi A friend of mine will possible be pillioning with me to the Cederberg this weekend. I would prefer if she went as ATGATT as possible. I have a spare helmet, but nothing else really (it it quite big). Minimum requirements are Boots and Jacket and anything more than this will be GREAT. Please...

Hi My swingarm linkage bearings are in dire need of replacement. While removing the linkage, I ran into a problem. The long bolt mounting the swingarm linkage to the frame has seized. (Thus the reason for the replacement  :-[) I removed the nut without to much effort but the bolt seems pretty...

The first winter storms had hit the Western Cape (and the rest of the country) with a mighty chill and the mountain tops were covered in a blanket of snow. The next day (16 June) was a public holiday and the opportunity for a ride to the snow could not be missed, so a last minute planning a ride...

Hi Seeing as it is a public holiday and the Western Cape has had ALOT of snowfall, I have decided to head through to Ceres tomorrow to go check out the snow. I will be riding with a pillion, so I will be taking it slower than normal. It will be tar all the way there. The plan is to head...

Arg... Ok, realised that my dakar is leaking a bit of radiator fluid throught the cooling fins. On  the left and right hand side. No leaks on any of the pipes or joints... just the radiator itself. There does not seem to be any visible impact damage, so I do not really know how this happened...

Hi All I am advertising this on behalf of a colleague of mine. (yes, I am doing a bit of gumtreeing on WD) I have a brand New (in the box still) Suomy Spectre Helmet that is gathering dust in my garage. It has never been used - Only the box has been opened since it arrived from the factory. I...

Hi All I see the Planning a Ride section has been very quite lately... and this is not good for me as I am itching to do a bit of riding. So, I am planning on heading to Atlantis dunes at +- 17:00 on Sunday afternoon with the Dakar for some quick sand riding and a bit of bubbly :) I will...

Thanks to all who came with and made this a very fun day on the sand. Even though there was quite a bit of traffic on the dunes and the sand was very rutted out, we seem to have been it through the day without too many incidents. Goon fell on his left shoulder when he lost control of his bike on...

OK, N[]va and some other folks were also talking about this... and I haven't been to Atlantis in a while. Also, I know some people that need some sandriding experience before some trips that they are planning... Atlantis sand day - Sunday 16 May MEETING PLACE: Richwood Garage - 08:00 (if...

EDIT: Anyone with relative knowledge about 2 stroke bikes available to come check out the bike with me tonight? 18:30 in Parow North. I am looking at buying a 2 stroke. Currently looking at a 1997 KX250 which seems to be in good condition (will be taking a look at the bike tonight). What I...

Rookie question :) What do you call the part right in the middle of this picture. The one that is not numbered... The one that is fitted to the frame on your right hand side that looks like it should be inflated... (for some or other reason I could not find a diagram specifically showing this...
