Hi Everyone, Planning a ride to the above mentioned areas this upcoming long weekend. Would like to leave early the Friday for Carolina, easy back country tar roads. Then spend most of the day exploring the Chrissiesmeer & Amsterdam area and visit some of the dams. Sleep over in Piet Retief or...

Hi Everyone, So I noticed my bike is handling differently - the steering feels very unresponsive - almost "sticky". If I go around a corner it feels like the bike is fighting the turning of the handlebars. If I pull away it sometimes pulls me to one side or I almost need to wiggle the handlebar...

Hi Everyone, I think it is time to add a few extras to my bike. Currently it has a Givi top box, Leo Vince pipes, Givi touring screen, Yamaha handguards and 50/50 Mitas tyres. I need advice on what is most important next: I really want to the following (it is also fairly cheap): (1) Steel...

Hi Everyone, Is there a rough guide to seat height? A rule of thumb? A buddy asked me yesterday and I could not really tell him, apart from saying ideally you should be able to touch the ground and able to control the bike - especially when going slow (lane splitting, stop/go situations, tech...

Hi Everyone, My Yamaha Tenere 660Z (2009) is up for sale. It has about 18400km on the clock (I still commute with it everyday - so a few extra kms since photo). Fitted with a Givi topbox (see photo), larger Givi screen and Leo Vince SBK exhaust pipes (see photo). I also still have the original...

Hi Guys, I cannot make up my mind. Load my dirt bike (KTM 200) and new Tenere on the back of my supercab Ranger or hire a trailer for 1.6K? I just got the Tenere this weekend (my first adventure/road bike!) and really want to take both bikes down to Cape Town for the holiday (have a lot of...

Does anyone know who I can contact for K53 training in the Pretoria area? My learner's expires early next year and I want to get a full license as soon as possible. I need to be able to hire a motorcycle for the training and actual test. PS: Does having an actual license make a difference...

Hi Everyone, I have so far refrained from asking the what bike to get question...but the new bike itch is getting serious and I want one in the next couple of weeks. I have narrowed my search down to 2 bikes - KTM 640 and BMW X-Challenge.  I really like the KTM 690 but to expensive at this...

Hi Everyone, Looking for some advice in terms of gear to start with. I have so far avoided the "what bike to buy question"  since in my experience it usually ends up confusing noobs more. (So far leaning towards a KTM 640  ;)) Any way I thought I will ask about the required gear so long...

Hi Everyone! Awesome and very informative site - been lurking for a while  :) I have been dirt bike riding for the last two years, but it is becoming to long between weekends to wait... I think it is time to get a bike to commute on and get away for the weekend.  ;) Now if I can just make up...
