Got the exact size from Andrew King today. Thanks guys!! (I was looking for a 29mm diameter 2.30 thick)

Hello Anyone with an idea where to get shims? I have one that is slightly too high. Options are to buy from BMW and wait weeks, or have it the current shim ground down or find from somewhere else. The last time I replaced a shim I got one off an Alfa 159i Gold Edition. Super lucky and...

I think the reason it's easier to stick to the speedlimit on the bike is cos you're riding a R80GS.  :imaposer: Either that, or you must close you're helmet.

Had the exact problem with my Funduro (story posted elsewhere on WD). Got stuck at the V&A parking one night. Removed the switched on site. After inspecting it and being satisfied that i knew how to fix it I put it in my bag, hotwired the bike, rushed home. Must've gunned it too hard on the way...

Dankie Boet!!!

Does anyone else with a Funduro have problems with the ignition switch? It is the damnest k*kest design from BMW and keeps on breaking. R2k for a new one. I need an alternative solution to the problem. Something that won't break again. (And no, don't even begin to suggest a new bike - unless...

I live for solo tripping. I started with the odd, 2 day trip in my rookie days then 6 day trips and eventually last year I did a 21 day trip. The first half of the trip was with two buddies through Lesotho after which I continued on my own through Swazi and Zim and the rest of SA. I don't plan...

May I ask what camera you were using? It seems to handle sunlight extremely well and saturate beautifully. Thanks

Has anyone replaced the Funduro's rear shock with a better one? I'd like to hear what other alternatives there are. I had the new one serviced 8000km ago and it's now halfway sagged after just 2 offroad trips. I am about to go on another big trip and would like to look at other alternatives.

When my wife met me I was a biker. Although young, at that stage already hardened, weathered biker. My car parks in the garage. I ride every single day of my life regardless of the weather and have been for as long as she's known me - many years. The day she has a problem with my bike I'll...

Does anyone have an alternative solution for the rear brake light switch on the Funduro? BM wants R400 for the micro-switch and I think that is exorbitant.

Why do they call it riding on dirt? You're not riding on dirt. You're riding in gravel. No one dumped dirt in the road and now you're riding on it. Did the dirt trucks dump their rubbish in a straight line and make a dirt road out of it?!! On some days on the N2 cape town people throw dirt on...

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

As ek so van agter af kyk dan verlang ek vorentoe.

I'm not referring to impatience. People flying up your ass at 180km/h and flashing frantically are assholes. What i'm getting at is that most people act it as if it's illegal to give way and take offence if someone flashes. Sometimes their reason for taking offence is no always a valid one. If...

And that is what it's all about - "DUE CAUTION". If you see you can do it safely, do it. There is nothing for everyone else to piss their pants about. Just carry on driving your car as you were. Sometimes - depending on the situation- it is just easier to pass on yellow when everyone else blocks...

Seriously...I think ya'll should go drive in Vietnam and India where you will learn it's not so much the rules of the road as your common sense that keeps you safe. Riding yellow in 40km traffic - I think you should all live a little and do it at least once. It's exhilarating - I promise.  :P...

I never owned one but I do think the Rally is an amazing jacket. If I had money I would definitely have bought it. To anyone who can't afford the 8k for the BMW, the IXS Montevideo is a awesome alternative. It's half the price and works as well as the Rally. I bought one, used it in both...
