Next time you go for a ride, I will work - like when you went to Sabie!

Lol?? Sounds like you did not want it to be a success!! :(  Pity - would have expected more support than cynism from this forum!  I didn't see you in Plett - does that mean by your own insinuation above that you were not really there??  Maybe you saw very few bikes in Plett because other were...

Hi Guys.  Here we have someone trying to get an event going to cater for the Adventure Bike riders and people seem to be dissing it.  It is new, there are a lot of riders who do not know the area and amount of good riding gravel roads in the area.  I hope that I am not speaking out for turn, but...

Hi Lurker - not sure how often and if Lance checks this thread, but here is a link to the website where you can register etc. https://plettadventurebikeweek.co.za/ Hope that this helps.

Over the hill?  Hope you can still ride!

Agree with you - if there is a problem then it must be sorted.  Maybe someone other than BMW will do controlled testing to get an objective view without personal opinions/gripes thrown in.  That will make it an objective, non-emotional evaluation.

Thanks 2SD - but I really don't need your sarcasm. Regarding bike of the year, the following is taken from the News 24 report: "All the importers nominate 2013 model -year bikes they think should be included in the competition. The bikes have to be new-for-2013 models and cannot have been...

I haven't been on the WD forum for some time and I see that it is the same old story. Brand bashing still of note! (mainly by the same characters) This is what WD has become known for as well unfortunately. Let people ride what they want - it is their choice, whether it be BMW, KTM, Harley...

I am not sure if this is posted somewhere on WD - did not come up in a search and I hope that I am not 'jumping the gun', but the press release was put out last week so it is public knowledge. Here is a FB link to this new annual event for Adventure bikes taking place in Plettenberg Bay next...

Leo VInce sounds good on the new F700GS as well - Dorothy got herself one of each - bike and zorst! ;) .....and I was given her 800GS - stuck with hand-me-downs again (Luckily only 3000km on the clock!).

She transferred the top box to her new bike.

Here a picture for those who do not know what R1200GS panniers look like. 8)

Will get pics and post.

Not with the bike nor the panniers. ;)

Set of R1200GS panniers for sale at R5 500.00. Good condition - only used by a lady on her bike. ;)

Thanks!

This guy was 'apprehended' at a backpacker in The Bluff, Durban where the owner 'negotiated' with him to pay his outstanding account with his previous accommodation! :biggrin:

Not at all - I own a backpacker in Plett (www.amakaya.co.za) and belong to the South African Youth Travel Confederation (SAYTC).  When one of the backpackers experiences something like this others are advised through SAYTC so they can keep a look out for the person concerned.  Just happens the...

Looks like some bikers don't want to pay for the stay.... Info in today from a backpacker in Coffee Bay: We are looking for a fellow called Karl/Carel/Carl De Wet, who stayed with us at Coffee Shack for over 2 weeks owing us some money. He left on Sunday, on his motor bike which is a 200CC low...
