I wanted a DR650, BLACK, then saw the small narrow seat. Chose the KLR because my pillion needed more comfort. The first time I saw the blue KLR, it reminded me of the blue KE175 I had in the 80's. I was hooked, ordered one immediately. My next scrambler will have an "S" on the tank. There is...

Awesome thread!  I never liked bikes. All my friends had 50's, and I took a 1st gear spin around the house or parking lot, but there was no attraction. I was a gun-freak(still is). For my 16th birthday I wanted a .38Special, and not the 50cc piskriek that my dad suggested. So, I never got the...

My plaasbike and me at the 2009 Whale Rally, Plett. Happiness!!

Never had a puncture on a road bike in almost 100 000km. Had my first puncture at the Whale Rally in Plett with the plaasbike. Got something sharp in the rear tyre on the way to Plett on tar!! Culprit just put a small hole in the tire and tube. Filled it with tyre-weld foam the next day and rode...

Commuted with a KE175 scrambler for 5 years, bought a GSX-R750 later, but still missed the Sunday afternoons riding on the banks of the Vaal. Bought a KLR650 2 years ago, and was happy to have both street bike and DS bike. Bought another GSX-R750 two months ago. If I walk into the garage on a...

Manne, die bike onder die seiltjie is die mooiste en vinnigste en gebruik die meeste olie van al die bikes in die Baai!! Dis my eie Kwaaitjie Kawasaki!! Pappa se gunsteling plaasbike!! Shhhh, hy werk under-cover!

Here at Eberspacher SA, Port Elizabeth, we have a pack of 6 Wild Dogs? Freedom, Crab, Big E, mike H, Paddler and Goby. We love our plaasbikes!

Sorry, should have added. The "Lewensgevaarlik" sign is for tresspassers. The proud owner of that garage protects his toys with a moerse .357 Mag revolver. Have you ever seen the front end of a .357 Magnum? The Citi Golf is my long-time best friend. 18 years old this year, and motor still...

My small garage full of toys. My favourite place.

Just outside PE, Saturday afternoon 18 July 2009, on my new ysterperd.

Got my licence two years ago after riding for 10 years without any licence. Used forged documents of all types of shit, always friendly when cops pulled me over, even bought a false licence in the back of a bottle store in Chatsworth. Never got caught or got a fine. Take it from me guys, it is...

Hallo Baas, My GSX-R750 had 85000km on it when I sold it last month. I bought a 09 GSX-R750. That bike went everywhere in SA, two-up ALL the time, with luggage, from rallies at Harties, to the Peninsula in CT, and even 107m underground at Teebus. Cruising speed 190km/h, I have fines to prove...

Castrol Chain wax and SAE90 inbetween, not together. I got 50 000km on my x-ring chain and sprockets on my GSX-R750. When I replaced the chain, the rear sprocket was like new, front sprocket faaakd. KLR uses Castrol Chain wax on touring rides, and SAE90 for commuting and off-roading. Easy to...
