New house, new kid, lots of rennovations - the usual adventure riding killer. My bike is amazing and hasn't let me down. Average fuel consumption is +-24km per litre. Extras include: ABS, heated grips, Xenon lights, 12V charging socket, engine bars, hand protectors, fork gaters, centre...

I bought my bike with FSH 18 months ago then started servicing it myself. I pamper my bike a bit, but now that I'm looking to sell, but people appear nervous if they can't see that it was done by a "professional" with a stamp. Can anyone recommend a competent, reasonably priced place to have my...

A mate of mine busted his sidestand by driving into a rock. The stand is mostly ok, but the bracket holding the spring on the stand disappeared so he needs a new stand. BMW charge a small fortune for these so if anyone has one lying around, or knows where he can get a reasonably priced one...

Bit of a history to the sale, so bear with me. I own a 2003 650GS which I brought over from England with me last year. I then convinced some non-biking mates to do a trip to Zim an Botswana. As a result, my mate (Rowan) bought a 2001 650GS with LOW mileage (15500km and 1 owner since new) last...

Hi Dogs My cousin and I are heading to Lesotho from Johannesburg in 2 weeks. We've got 4 days to get to Sani Pass and then plan to ride back via Geluksberg and plan to camp on the 2nd and 3rd nights so will likely meander around Katse and Mohale dams and get some flyfishing in... The issue is...

My riding buddies and I are off to Botswana in September. Planned Route from JHB is to go west to Maun, across to Vic Falls then back over a week. Does anyone have any recommendations of places to stay and things to see?

Hi All I've imported my 2003 GS from the UK and while everything works fine, it's difficult to read the kmh off the speedo as the dial is so small. Does anyone have a used instrument cluster going for a reasonable amount?

My bike is finally arriving next week from the UK and I'm looking to do my first ride in SA. I'm based in Joburg. Any ideas for a first ride? Something not too far away - 2 hours max.

Hi all. I've recently returned after 3 years abroad and am looking forward to some REAL adventure riding rather than the tame tarred-road stuff in the UK. It's been 5 weeks since my bike was shipped and I'm starting to get the DT's from not riding. Fortunately she's apparently being unloaded...
