Hi I'm selling a whole bunch of my older bike stuff, as I can't take it all with to where I'm going.  The Africa Twin will also be up for grabs, but I still need her until December.  And my 2004 Mitsubishi Colt Clubcab, 2.8tdi Bakkie also has to go, willing to give that up in December as well...

Hi I want to ship my bike to Europe either end of this year or early next year.  Who knows of well priced and reliable companies who handle this kind of thing?  :-\ Also need to ship a cat (Yes, a real live one) over there.  Has anyone done something like that before?    :cat:

Yesterday I received the very sad news that my friend and fellow Africa Twin Club member passed away after a serious motorcycle accident on Saturday. I am not sure of the details, but it seems he lost control of his bike and sustained many injuries including broken pelvis, ribs, shoulder and...

Hi all I need to get two gas bottles from Joburg (Weltevreden Park) to Barberton or Nelspruit.  If anyone is coming this way in the near future and can help, please let me know.  I'm always on the bike... so that won't help! Thanks  :)

ATT LOWVELD DOGS (And others who want to make the trek to join us). A little while ago I was asking for Lowveld Dogs to come and meet for drinks, but instead it turned into a 'Bunking work on a Friday' habit.  Initially it was just Bosparra and myself, with Draadwerk having had to cancel at the...

It was all Draadwerk's fault...  :o He said he was going to be in Barberton on Friday, why don't we go for a bike ride... Bosparra and I were keen on the idea, but I only got the confirmation for the ride on Friday at about 10h00.  So I quickly organised the house & office, got my bike kit on...

Hi all, I know I probably should have posted this a while back... but I've been rather busy and totally forgot!  Anyway, I do hope some of the Dogs will be attending this first of its kind event on the new track in Barberton on 13 & 14 July.  For more info go to...

Hi fellow doggies It's my friend and ex Roomie Wanita's birthday on the 3rd of Feb and she is having her party at Kirstenbosch to watch Freshly Ground.  So I decided, it would be really nice to join her for her birthday.  :biggrin: I am familiar with the first bit of the trip, since I've been...

Hi fellow Dogs As a special treat for the School Holidays, we have put together a package for the Wild Dogs and their families. LIONSROCK LODGE & BIG CAT SANCTUARY is a very special place, as it is the home of 76 Lions and various other big cats which were rescued from undesirable...

Hi Guys Mario has decided to sell his crashed BMW 1150GS, rather than to repair it, as he no longer wants to ride duallies (he wants a cruiser... dumb, I know!  ???).  Says he's getting too old for the off road stuff. The bike is a 2001 model with roughly 145 000km on the clock, and was...

Finally there is a Rally in Barberton again, so please support this!!! If there is enough interest, I plan on taking the duallie riders for an outing on the Saturday, so you won't have to spend all your time at the Rally site and miss out on the awsome riding around here!!! Having said that...

On the way from Hazyview to Graskop yesterday (Sun 20/03), my partner Mario (GS1150) and his friend Claude (GS1200) were involved in what could have been a much more serious accident, not just for bikes, but cars as well, due to insufficient and dangerous road sign & chevrons! They were riding...

On Friday morning I was soooo excited to finally go to my first Wild Dog Bash and managed to leave Barberton at about 06h30, was planning for 06h00, but as usual I was too busy ‘faffing’ around… hehehe! Fortunately Mario had filled up the bike the day before, so this time I didn’t have to waste...

In the end we were only 2 1/2 bikes and a useless back up vehicle (Mario and the Colt Rodeo, which he was taking ob it’s first proper test drive after he did the Lexus V8 conversion!!), Ernie on his KTM 990, me on my Twin and my son Kevin on the borrowed Honda XR125L…. He definitely had the...

Hey doggies... I am busy planning a riding weekend for the long weekend in March, but just wanna see how much interest there would be for this ride.  It will not be very technical, as there will be pillions and less experienced riders.  I have a few ideas in mind, but have to check the routes...
