I know I am going to get flak: haven't been on the forum in years, and now I am posting an ad. But here goes. BMW G650X for sale. Touratech tank (plumbed, not drilled) , and bashplate. Barkbusters Hepco and Becker luggage racks. Non-ABS Progressive fork springs KTM front fender...

Having encountered a tree with the HP this weekend, I smashed the little plastic bottle atop the master cylinder, and cannot repair it. Two things irritate me about replacing it from BMW: 1. The web is full of pictures of guys who have slotted in any pre-LC GS reservoir, and the 800 one also...

For research purposes only, I was trawling Gumtree Cape Town for motorbikes, and the entirety of the first five pages was taken up by adverts from Harley Cape Town. Surely that isn't in the spirit of a free classified service, to be advertising a product from a dealership that already has a...

Our School, LEAP, is having a celebration on Monday for Heritage Day. As a biker on the staff, I'm supposed to be doing a demonstration of motorbikes, and why they are cool. So, if you are in the Pinelands area on Monday, after lunchtime,and would like to come and show off to some kids why your...

I've never really noticed it, since the F800 was sandwiched in my collection between an old Tenere and an HP2, neither of which is going to win braking awards, and I consequently find the littler Beemer's brakes excellent. But after lending my bike to Katana on the weekend, he pointed out how...

A mate of mine has been keeping his KTM 200 EXC in my garage for a while. We finally drained the tank and opened the carb the other day, to find that the old fuel has turned to tar. It will probably need the cylinder opened up and de-gunked, but he would like to do this fairly cheaply. Any good...

So, it has been a while, but I don't know where else to check. I drove my bakkie to the aforementioned bash, and ended up ferrying out a bike and luggage for a couple of people, including Dunce, RedRum, Loki CPT and myself. In the confusion of my packing system, Loki's tent was sent to the wrong...

I was sent this by a member of the Crankhandle Club, who, like, some forum members it seems, enjoy and appreciate their machinery more when it is more likely to break down! Anyway, we don't judge: should be an interesting presentation. Tony Smythe’s talk on his participation in the recent...

A colleague of mine is selling his. Black. 25k.Either contact me for details, or please don't do the "How dare a newbie or guest sell a bike on here without becoming a senior member? " routine.  :peepwall:

Does anyone have his cellphone number?

Posting this on behalf of a friend. PM me, or contact him directly if interested. Never been crashed! Paul RST pro series leathers, size 52 (medium) - R4000 (R5500 new) Shark S900 Glow, medium - R1600 (R2800 new) RST razor gloves, medium - R400 (R650 new) Everything is still in great condition...

Selling my beloved 800. Has stood me in good stead,  and will continue to do so for you! 2009 model, 44000 km's.ABS, heated grips :ricky: Yacugar progressive springs in front, WIld@heart crashbars, bashplate, luggage rack, folding gear lever, two-stage brake pedal, SWMotech sidestand foot, wide...

I'm sure someone will call "Discrimination" on this one soon.

Does anyone have a spare one of these sidestand footplates, that they are not using? Mine finally came off the other day, having been grounded on the tarmac a little, and then getting t-boned by another biker, who shall remain nameless... I've grown to like it, though. Thought I'd try here...

As comes on the standard bike. Not new, but in good nick. I just replaced it with the Trophy seat because the latter is prettier. New, R3200. This one, 1800. Call Paul 0788 949 106. Cape Town-ish area.

...to Monkeyboy! So, the Puzey I bought the other day, as recommended by a forum member as being a great playbike, has thusfar proved to be a complete waste of time. Like "I wish I'd bought a Bashan" waste of time. Far from being in good condition, the electrical system was made of bloudraad and...

I just want to know where I stand on this one: I parked my bike on a pavement outside of a restaurant tonight, with a demarcated bus zone in the road in front of me (which is another reason I didn't park in the road). so, while SWAMBO and I are having dinner, the waiter comes to tell me that my...

I've tried it, but cannot get used to the big screen in front of me (or the sound of my tyres, which is now audible in the quiet behind the bigger screen). So.... FOR SALE Kappa touring screen, with black trim around the base (gives a nice cockpit feel around the clocks), plus Aerotrim tab...

I'm going for my bike licence on Saturday morning; I have gotten over the "falling-over a lot" stage of riding, and now merely fall over occasionally, generally with provocation, but I'm nervous about having to do my K53 meerkat impersonation. Any advice?

Okay, in advertising, that's called "spin". In real life, I suppose, "lying" would be more accurate. BUT....I just got progressive fork springs put in by Superfoxi, and they do make that much of a difference. Not just to the suspension, but to the response of the steering, the brakes, the...
