    Cederberg routes

    Don't see much on their website w.r.t. hiking routes but there surely will be.

    Guess who I just bumped into ?...............Noraly

    Iets anders wat ek nie kan glo nie is hoe min papwiele sy kry, indien enige? Tensy sy om een of ander rede dit nie wys nie.

    Guess who I just bumped into ?...............Noraly

    W.r.t. the neck brace I think some has already mention it, but she fell to the right and broke her right collar bone, which is "normal" in this instance. Had she hit the ground with her head/helmet it would have twisted to the left and push the brace down to possibly break her left collar bone...

    Where has your bike taken you today?

    Anysberg, Rouxpos, Vleiland, Seweweekspoort - altyd 'n lekker "loop" vanaf Ladismith. En die Rouxpos drif is weer oop, kan sien daar moes groot water deur gewees het.

    For Sale 2017 Africa Twin 1000L - Manual

    Would like to have more info on that 44 vs 42 sprocket please. I've actually thought about it since to me there's no point in an adventure bike being able to run close to 220 km/h (from what I've heard...). Although the AT's power isn't bad, a few horses extra never hurt anyone I guess.

    OK so alle argumente van "my bike is te groot en swaar om te hanteer" is sopas by die deur uit!

    Rider Settings. - 2010 Adventure

    Thinking back to my beloved GSA... Damn ze Germans could've made the ESA, ABS, and traction control so much easier than all those complicated sequences of pressing and/or holding, etc every time you started the bike. At least by the time you were ready, the dust from those riding in front has...

    TIRE PRESSURE CHECK

    Tire Pressure Monitor. To me it's THE most important and handy feature to get for a bike if it's not already installed. It will very likely prevent a tire burst situation at speed, it shows that nasty slow punctures, improves tire wear, no frequent manual checking, etc. Simply put: peace of...

    Desert Fox helmets ...surely they can't be this price ?

    My Desert Fox helmet saved my ass a few years ago, went down head first into the road, the bike was written off (hit a duiker). Bought one again via @Chrisl but in the carbon - love it so far. With regards to the peak's buffeting I've adjusted it up a bit (or down? can't remember) which made a...

    A day in the workshop ...

    I in fact sold that XS750 and bought this GPZ900... What a beast and quite an upgrade to me at the time! Had a few more bikes in the 25 years since, but I couldn't get rid of the girlfriend in the pic - happily married till this day!
