    Groenrivier on the West Coast (short 2day there-and-back)

    Het jou gemis.  Gedink jy sal dit geniet op weer so bietjie die Weskus paaie aan te pak.

    Zeus Touring helmet

    My experience is not so good.  Fit and function is quite OK, but quality lacked.  Two problems experienced: 1) The mount of the one airvent broke off.  2) the material of the cheak pads started deteriorating and cracking eventually.  On looking for support at the shop, I was informed that I...

    Gps track for road up west coast

    Geen permitte nodig tensy jy die area naby aan die Olifants Rivier wil besoek.  Die area kan jy in daglig besoek, maar nie oorslaap nie.  My voorstel sou wees om dit te vermy en eerder direk na Skaapvlei te gaan en dan verder noord te ry.  Jy kan al met die kus langs ry tot by Spoegrivier.  Van...

    Gps track for road up west coast

    Trip wat ons in 2006 met bakkies gedoen het aangeheg in Mapsource formaat.  So na as moontlik aan die strand sonder om op die strand te ry.  Ons het direk na Hondeklipbaai gery en teen die weskus afgekom.  Die tracks wat aangeheg is samevoeging van verskillende voertuie se GPS. Laat weet as jy...

    Decompression lever system , please explain

    Maybe a bit outdated on this, but I have an XR500R, which I rarely use.  Even if the decompression system is set properly (which sound exactly as you describe your decompression system), you can get backfire if the kickstarter is not operated properly.  If I understand it correct, your...

    Disk skimming

    Price of new OEM, R1600. Price of pirate, R800. Damage to existing ones are minimal (just a bit of metal on metal smeering) and yes, I did check the pads not too long ago, but aparently a bit too long ago. What could have been a R250 pad replacement turned out toe be at least a R1000 disk and...

    Disk skimming

    I managed to adequately damage my rear brake disk on my AT this weekend to require some sort of cleaning/skimming. Any idea on where in Cape Town this can be done?

    Africa Twin

    I fully agree with Kaboef. Same experience, fuel consumption and the rest. Seat seem a bit uncomfortable, but nothing you will not get used to. When buying my AT last year November I was a bit unsure. Never looked back.

    Need to buy Anakees in Cape Town - where is best/cheapest?

    I fitted Anakee for AT about a month ago. Palm Tyre Services was the cheapest, but balancing is a problem. Does not seem right that you have the tyre fitted at a tyre shop and then take it to a bike shop to be balanced. Anyway, if you add the cost of the tyre and the cost of the balancing...

    Namibia - border crossing requirements

    You need security clearance from De Beers to be allowed across the border (you can go across the border, but De Beers gate is 50 meters from the border post and nowhere else to go). You have to apply for this about four weeks in advance and is only possible if you know somebody in town that can...
