    Siskiyou Panniers™ by Giant Loop

    https://www.giantloopmoto.com/collections/giant-loop-gear-collection/products/siskiyou-panniers I'm in the market for some soft panniers.  I like the ATG Overlander saddle bags and the The Expedition bags from Andy Strapz but I believe they need racks to support them.  These look really good...

    Light weight packing

    https://www.mzselect.com/bike-camper.html I'm thinking of fitting one of these on my DR650.  It only weighs 22 kg and I will be able to bring my camping gear and a coffee machine.

    Can any one recommend an intermediate off road training course in the Western Cape?  I'm starting to come to the conclusion that I really don't know what I am doing.  I've cracked ribs trying to ride sand, and  dropped my bike in a water crossing and nearly lost it this weekend when my bike...

    Bike Stand in the Bush?

    If you do not have a centre stand how do you support the bike when removing a wheel when far from civilization?  I found a milk crate and propped it under the bash plate.  I was on my own but tilted the bike up on the side stand and pushed it under the engine with my foot.  I would be tempted to...

    Have given up Motorbikes (NOT)

    I have ridden motor bikes on and off since I was 16.  About four years ago, after a long absence, I bought a 81 BMW R80GS.  This may not have been the wisest choice since the biggest bike I had ridden was a Yamaha 360 scrambler about thirty years ago.  About a month I lost it on a corner (riding...
