Great weekend, big thanks to Kilroy and everyone involved who made it happen.  :thumleft: :thumleft: DirtyXT and I headed off around 13h00 on Friday, Swifty’s route on our GPS’s, gear packed in HSK's bakkie (easy way out, but a huge bonus - thanks Johan) and grateful to blow the popsicle stand...

I'm pretty proud of how bikety looks, and since she just celebrated her 35 000kms birthday, I thought I would share her new facelift with the wilddogs!  O0 Lots of effort went into making her pretty again from a broken up/down, battered and bruised riding machine into a pretty awesome riding...

Hey all, 67 bikers needed to ride (tar sadly) to the Belfast children's home on the 14th of July 2012.  Builders warehouse has donated all the necessary for a re-vamp which will take about three hours and then we ride back.  If anyone is interested, send me your e-mail address so that the...

These guys have put a lot of effort into creating a dualsport ride into this event!  They have medics, sweepers and crew and the guys from Country Trax have organised two awesome routes!   :thumleft: I'll get them to post more information as it comes! I'm going, so those who are keen, come and...

Myself and Leejay -( Dashingdave, although I think he has a new forum name now) have made a plan to do the following trip.  We haven't booked in any accommodation - hoping that the weather will play nice enough for us to camp along the way (all the spots we have called seem to have ample...

Just a warning - especially for the commuters.... my friend saw a nasty accident this morning in stationary bumper to bumper traffic!    :'( A guy suddenly opened his car door and the bike swerved to avoid it and T-boned another car!   :eek7: Guys, be safe out there, and don't go flying...

I'll get this thread started! While I'm waiting for my pics to upload, Adrian (Half-Bac) and Yamaha made this an event to remember!  For the small amount we paid, we got way more than we bargained for!  My expectations were exceded on every level!  :drif: The riding was absolutely AWESOME and...

Hey All, Last minute, I know, but I have booked and paid for three people to attend this event this weekend and only two of us are still going! So, I paid R490 for an extra spot and since there are no refunds, there is a spot available. Anyone interested?  I can't tell you exactly what its...

I have zero clue as to what is good and what is not.  All I know is that I never know where I am, so I suppose its time to start getting some advice into a GPS. What price range are we looking at here, and what is a definite "NO NO"  and what is a "that'll do pig, that'll do" and what is a...

Ok, quick run down.... Had my front and back tyres reinforced, and a new back tyre put on.  On my last trip, started catching a massive tank slap type movement, and assumed it was my new side panniers catching wind, the shock (which was pap) and the fact that my front had been put on backwards...

A last minute decision left us about 5 days to get a route and all our documents ready to rumble....  we were warned that it was alot of riding, and well, it certainly was!  But Africa is beautiful, and we got to enjoy some of its beauty for a couple of days!   What started off as a very...

Although this thread may be a little unnecessary (since we leave today) I'm so excited that I just HAD to post!  O0 Hondsekierie and I decided on Sat to do a little trippie....  We picked Bots and Zim (with the main intention of Vic Falls and Lake Kariba) and we have from today until next...

I bought a second hand yamaha XT660R luggage rack, but now I need a plate, and like in the new few days! Leaving for Bots and Zim on Fri, so before then!  Anyone know where I can find something to use, or what would fit?

I have tried sourcing these boots....I need a size 8 (UK) If anyone knows who may have them in stock, please let me know!  Shot!  :thumleft:

I am being reunited with my baby after seven weeks of her being fixed!  She's at RBS yamaha in Durban, and I need her to come back to Josie.  She'll be completed and tested for any dodgyness by Tuesday latest! I'm happy to get a courier, but if anyone is coming up to Jhb and wouldn't mind...

So, I have proved myself to be a proper chick (damn) - I went to pick up some spares from yamaha on Saturday and they heard me from the road with my clattering engine.    :peepwall: Seems as though me having put in oil twice over the last 12 000kms is not enough and I ran my engine dry of oil. ...

Hey all, Routes about planned for the big trip!  I know its a bit of a random time, but any dogs in the areas we go through are welcome to join for as long or short as you'd like!   :thumleft:  It will be myself and Hondsekierie. This is subject to some small changes - like inclusion of...

Ok, so apparently the "integrity" of my helmet has been affected due to my few head plants, so my boet has suggested that he pick up a helmet for me in USA for a lot cheaper. I've been looking on the websites and since I'm a girl, we really only look at something's prettiness.  :ricky: Since...

Hey all, HSK and I have booked our flights and bikes to Cape Town!  We arrive on  the 30th of March. We have finalised the first four days and need info if possible on our proposed routes.  And of course, we'd love the WD's in the areas to join us as much as possible on the rides. DAY 1...

Hey guys, My mate just got himself a triumph Tiger 955, and hit a pavement, stuffing up the back rim.  They quoted him R11k for a new rim.  Sounds a bit hectic to me!  Anyone know where he could pick up one for cheaper?
