    My Sidecar Project

    Great Project. I have enjoyed the read. Thanks! One question that I cannot remember seeing in the posts: Legally, does a side car require a seat belt and the passenger to have to use it?  Also must the passenger wear a helmet? AGATT for me is obvious, just a interesting point of discussion.

    Hello All My riding jacket is getting old. Where can I buy a reasonably priced good jacket in Gauteng.  Full Frontal I see has closed down. I checked for a replacement at BMW jacket, but R15k is a bit steep. Any suggestions?

    Die motorfietsryer waai/groet/knik

    I ride most days on my BMW. I wave, nod my head, lift a foot, flash the headlight (if I can remember where the darn switch is) even blip the hazards. All depends on the circumstances. I greet because it makes me feel good. From piza delivery guys to Harleys. Some greet some don't. Sent from my...

    Wanted BMW System 6 Helmet damaged or parts.

    I just decided this morning that my helmet has had enough. 120 k km and 7 years. Has not been dropped and is in good overall condition. I got a new helmet with my new bike 2 years ago and that is still in the box in the garage somewhere. Mine is also black

    The main reason for my fanatical Yamaha support, aka air-cooled 2stroke 350 twin

    This takes me back to the 1983 when I bought my XJ750 from Cowen and Johns Yamaha in Joburg. The lady selling me the bike was very upset because the boss wanted to fire her and would have had she not had my sale that day. Reason she refused to sell a RD350 LC to a some young chappie. She said...

    Bmw F800 heated grips replacements

    I have used the cricket bat grips for the last 4 years. The cheap one lasts about 20k km and the more expensive grip lasts about 35k km. Without them I wear the standard BMW grips down. I would suggest you buy the tool to put the grip on. Makes it a 5 min job. In my case without, could take much...

    1200 GS cutting out and not starting in gear

    Hello All My 1200 GS has started cutting out in heavy traffic when decelerating and when the engine is hot. It has cut out at between 85 km/h down to 20 km/h. This can be very harrowing on the M1 in the morning or afternoon. When the bike has cut out it will also only start in Neutral. It has...

    How many incidents did you avoid today while commuting?

    I commute from the South of Joburg to Sandton every day using the N12 and M1. Round trip 60km. I just use the bike. I typically do not ride more than 20 - 30km faster than the traffic. That gives me time to avoid most incidents. I also have to let some bikes pass me, but that is ok. A thankyou...
