The whole Charley Boorman debate cropping up again  :bueller:  got me thinking... ...what IS the "Real Deal" then? Is it this?  Or is it this... ...or is it just what you make of it? Back-up crew, no back-up crew, solo, new bike, old bike, a trip to Mongolia, a trip to your local...

Between work, parenthood and life in general, I've almost been riding as little as I've been on this forum... In the words of Neil Young: "Comes a time when you're driftin', comes a time when you settle down..."...but hey, at least we can roam a little bit inbetween! Took a trip with my mate...

Colleague of mine went past there just now...doesn't look good... :(

Went riding this morning, but didn't enjoy any of it...nobody waved back at me, I was stuck behind a pack of Harley riders, the BMW and KTM guys were brand bashing and someone called me a w@nker for riding standing up on a tar road...let me see, did I cover everything? Yip, think so  ;-) Hey...

If so...(a looong shot)...will you be willing to part with this plug and a start relay? If anyone can help, please PM me. Thanks.

Level of training, amount of years in the trade, word of mouth? Just for interest sake.

I hope I can post this sort of thing here, Mods, please let me know if not... We are looking into the possibility of adding an apprentice to our busy workshop. If you have a keen interest in bikes, bike licence (learners will do initially) and a good basic understanding of mechanicals, PM me...

Picked up a September copy of Superbike Magazine, and paged through the "In Dual Minds" article... A few things stood out, and I quote: "...where thirty years ago you only had the choice of a Yamaha XT 500 thumper or a BMW 800 GS parallel twin..."  Am I missing something here? "...and most of...

This is probably a PUI...but how many of you have lost some biking friends over the years and sometimes really, really miss them?

I know there are non-fans on this forum, but that's your problem... :pot: However, for the fans like myself, Charley's got a book signing at Exclusive Books in the V&A Waterfront this Saturday. :biggrin: Phone 021 419 0905 to RSVP

Because of various reasons (kid on the way...lots of work at home, been out the country for work and a flu that doesn't want to leave me alone) I haven't been riding much ( except for my daily commute to work and back)...let alone been off-road for the past two months. So today, seeing that...

You know how it goes. You talk about a trip, some other commitments get in the way, and before you know it a year or so has passed. So it was with my buddy Karl and I. We managed to squeeze in the odd Sunday morning blast,the occasional mountain bike ride, but "that trip" eluded us. The fact...

Just going for a quick couple of grondpaaie tomorrow morning. Just gonna be an hour and a half or so. Anyone want to go with? Can meet up at Winelands One Stop. SMS me on 078 521 8572 if you want to join.

So I'm off to the UK next Saturday for a week, which means I'm going to be missing out on eight days' riding. Problem is, I want to spend Sunday with my wife, but need a ride as well. So... I'll be at Winelands Onestop at 8:00 (again) for a short ride via some grondpaaie. Will probably end up at...

So, it's always nice to take the 4x4 to a nice route (like Matroosberg) where man and machine can shake and rattle over natures obsticles. The same goes for plottering along jeep track on a friends farm in the Biedouw valley with the bike. The only problem is that the Biedouw is a bit far for a...

Feel like trundling along some of my favourite roads to Riebeeck-Kasteel and back on Sunday. Anyone out there want to join?

My wife and I have done a fair bit of gravel travel by bike and 4x4, and every time we do, I'm amazed to see that some fellow road users seem to think that the rules of the road goes out the door as soon as you hit the dirt. And I'm not talking about "playing" a bit when the coast is clear, we...

I've owned an RD03 for the past five years, and like most other bikes I've owned through the years, there was a faint rumble from the clutch basket at idle with the clutch engaged (not pulled in). Now, I recently bought an RD07 (62k on the clock), and the same noise is there, but it's sometimes...

So, I was fornunate enough to be able to upgrade to a 2000 model RD07  :biggrin: My wife's response when I came home with it last night? " whose this imposter, where's the real Africa Twin!" ( referring to my RD03 ).  :imaposer: Like me, she also became attached to that beaut over the past...
