My dad and I took a trip up to the Angolan border, we trailered the bikes up to Windhoek, parked the bakkie at Elisenheim and went from there up to Ruacana where he served in the army in a small building overlooking the Ruacana falls: Cape Town -> Windhoek -> Swakopmund -> Uis -> Palmwag ->...

Now theres a few wilddogs on here that are truly incredible at writing ride reports, like, I would load their ride report on my kindle and read it before bed like a good book, I'm unfortunately not that inclined, not that I've not tried. I still want to share our trip though, mainly because I...

ZTechnik Vstream screen for sale. Screen is in good condition and includes the mirror extenders. Measures about 45cm from the headlight cutout, it's a tall screen. This was on a 2010 model, not sure if it will fit later models. I'm in De Tijger or Green Point. R1500  R1200

We did this trip a few months ago and I haven't gotten around to posting it partly because of the copious amount of video footage I had to process to build some watchable video clips and partly because I was lazy busy. Still, I wanted to write something up to help guys that want to do this trip...

I think the Baviaanskloof is one of those rides which every SA rider should have on his bucket list, so when Joburg Joseph said he is coming down for a trip, it was an easy choice. We did Gatsrivier on his previous visit and we would have to up it for this one. We left a drizzly Cape Town which...

If you need to get a bike trailer from CPT to George this weekend I can tow it for you. The catch would be that I want to put my bike on it.  ;D Leaving 12 or 13th Dec.

Oxford 1st time strap tank bag for sale. I bought this in haste before a trip, but it was too big for my 800GS. I never got around to returning it. Brand new, never used. It's this one: https://trac-mac.com/store/tank-bags/2261/oxford-1st-time-strap-on-tank-bag-.html Also willing to swap for...

When an upcountry friend decided to take the long journey down to Cape Town, we thought it our duty to ride out and meet him as far up as the weekend would allow. It was decided that Matjiesfontein would be the spot and that we'd spend the night at Gatsrivier. The roads are fantastic, we were...

I kept an eye on the weather the whole week, by Friday morning nothing much has changed and rain was predicted for most of the weekend over the Gamkaskloof area, the trip has been planned and booked way in advance and a bit of rain was not going to scare us off. We left late and by the time...

Hi Does anyone know what bolt is supposed to be where that hole is in the pics below? I'm not sure where and for what I should be looking for. It seems to attach the fairing/windscreen/instrumentation to the steering column. Thanks.

A quick day trip to my favourite piece of gravel. We had a rainy start through Bains kloof but it opened up into a fantastic day. https://vimeo.com/42931684...

Largely inspired by 007's  great RR (found here: https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=87432.0) I did a quick solo trip myself through the Ceres Karoo. GPX route and geotagged images here...

Hi  guys None of my mates really share my passion of adventure riding, but I really need to get out there, I've been a sluiper on the forums for quite a while now but feel I need to get into the thick of things. Is anyone doing an overnight trip this weekend? Can we plan something, dont really...

Not sure if this has been posted before as it's not new. A while back going through Franschhoek pass we saw a guy taking photos of passing bikes, didn't think much of it, until I saw his ad on gumtree yesterday, a good 5 months later. I checked out his site and there I was. Maybe you'll find...

Taken in Bain's Kloof, Saturday 2011/12/03

Not sure if this is the correct section, seems close enough. I've built a simple site for sharing routes and tracks in South Africa, ie uploading, downloading, viewing and rating of gpx tracks and kml files. It's still a work in progress but if anyone wants to try it out and give some feedback...

So this couple of easter holidays me and my dad and my brother set off for a 7 day trip into southern namibia, my first proper bike trip so this was kind of a big deal, this will be mostly a photo trip report as I'm not a man of many words... Filling up took time, lots of pumps but only one...

Hi Does anyone have a picture crossing the fishriver on the "closed" road from Vioolsdrift to Rosh Pinah taken this easter in Namibia? I didn't have time to take one.

Hope this is helpful to someone, recently were looking for some mitas e10's and they seem pretty hard to find. Found them at ktm cape town but best price was at Mo's wicked cycles in Rugby, Mo also stocks the heidi's and rides an Africa Twin himself, were about R900 for the front fitted and...
