    Wrong pilot, Henk is on the other side of the boerewors curtain ;-)

    BUT I AM YOUR CLIENT !

    Then you get those who want to bring their own parts for fitting during an overhaul or service. Can you take your own steak to a restaurant?? Piss off, don't come back, don't bring your scrap into my workshop

    Scramblers.

    Never mind black and white, we didn't have TV at all until '76. And the wireless was used for listening to Radio LM or Men from the Ministry. A scrambler was whatever you had in the garage, minus the mudguards, lights and mirrors. Even if it was your old man's bike and he was away on holiday

    Does anyone here know bike mechanic Johan Nel in Kimberley?

    Thank you. Confirmed. Dié soutie is fokken stadig. Buy a donkey

    Honda crf230 spring.

    Speak to a suspension specialist. If you have a rising rate link, a softer spring sees you enter a faster rate sooner, which results in a harsher ride. Pay the bucks, visit a suspension pro. Interested to see how your recovery progresses. I had a L5 kyphoplasty and I wasn't really ready for 5...

    Does anyone here know bike mechanic Johan Nel in Kimberley?

    So, you know he's a scammer and he's on the forum but you are reluctant to protect us by outing him? Sorry, I'm slow, help me out with the logic please? Thanks boet

    Wanted RIGHT FRONT INDICATOR LIGHT ON CAPONORD

    Looks similar to the Ducati scrambler. Take some measurements and try World of Motorcycles in Centurion, they're usually very helpful

    Is a HERO X-Pulse 200 Rally worth it?

    R49995 for a while. If current sellers are realising their asking prices, these 80's throwbacks have outperformed most investments. Weird world

    Stand aside Triumph

    Never buy an A model. The designs are good and the performance on par but Chinese chrome and stainless rusts, plastics degrade quickly, their grade of materials has been dodgy to date. I'll hang back and wait to see how the stuff weathers

    Kenda Tyres ?

    I have to withdraw my comment on the kenda, missed the part where you said you're only riding tar, sorry. My mileage was specifically avoiding tar wherever possible.

    Kenda Tyres ?

    I got 9000km on a k270 on a KLR, super tyre on a midweight. By comparison, on the same bike, same terrain, same loading, the E07 didn't get close to 5000km

    Pirelli Scorpion STR vs Dunlop Trailmax Mission Tyres

    There's about 3000 km mixed gravel and tar. Haven't had the nuts to lay it down lower than that but halfway through the last blocks sees me passing most others in the twisties. Haven't tried them on wet tar yet but they've been good enough in mud and loose stones. When they're done for, I'll put...

    What do you need on your bike?

    I would give my left nut for an accessory like this. The pricing is ok but shipping knocks it out of the ballpark. If there was a local option... https://abbastands.co.uk/product-detail.asp?item=sky-lift&pid=44
