Hi all The only time I entered into Moz via Kosi bay (with a bakkie), there was sand. Sand freaking everywhere. I was still a biking newbee and that road intimidated the hell out of me. As I grew more experienced, the thought of riding that sand to Ponta, or Swaziland, or Maputo became a bucket...

Hi dogs Has anyone "flashed" their bike (removed all the software limitations required by EU standards)? What does it cost and could you notice any difference? Apparently FIRE IT UP bike dealership in Fourways has someone who can do it.

So my Father in law says that if I crash and hurt my wife's face, her value will go down, so I need to protect it with a helmet. Been looking at the Spirits and they look good enough. I see that they deliver up here, but would like to go have a look at them first. Who has decent stock on these...

Does anyone know where in Centurion I can have the velcro on my BMW riding jacket replaced? BMW needs to send it to someone in Sandton and that will take at least a week (Time I do not have) Thanks!

Good day dogs I'm looking for an extra kit (Speakers, mount and mic) for my second helmet. I do not need the computer / jog dial bit. Anyone have one for sale? If not, where is the best place to go buy new?

I just received the following email from BMW Motorrad South Africa: "Dear Mr GSLaaitie, Based on the recent introduction of the first BMW Smart CC model, we would like to gauge your opinion as to why you think the G 310 R was so successful in the South-African market. Please take 10 minutes...

I know the chance of me finding one here is minute, but hey, free to ask right? As per heading, I'm looking for a luggage grid for a 1200GSA (2014 LC). This is the bit that the top box mounts on (See pic). I have tried ACME and they have nothing. I have tried BMW, but they want seven million...

I'm going to the department of traffic and children's nightmares to get my new bike from the previous owner's name onto mine. Do you need a roadworthy certificate to changes owners, or just the copies of ID's and proof of residence? What paperwork should I take with me to the department? Thanks!

Good morning all My Ralley jacket is in desperate need of a wash. It is not covered by just dust, but dead bugs, sweat, greasy residue and all kinds of mess that it gets exposed to when being worn full time on a 2 week trip. Washing in just cold water is probably not going to do the trick. I'm...
