    Tjops in the Karoo

    Always helps to take a long ride on the bike when the world closes in. Thanks for sharing.

    To Twinpegs or not … would you?

    Thanks DoM, very interesting concept. At first I though “Why would anyone …?” but it is certainly something to think about. On my AT I have a set of Pivot Pegz … and to be honest, 6 years later I am still not 100% at ease on them. Thanks for some good feedback to all who have thoughts on this.

    To Twinpegs or not … would you?

    Saw this on a Norden 901 long term test model. It has nothing to do with this particular rider, or test rider in this case … it’s more a general question if anyone here uses this?

    Yamaha T7 vs Suzuki DL800DE

    This looks good … Green and Silver.

    Yamaha T7 vs Suzuki DL800DE

    I believe that most bikes today are so well made, we are basically splinting hairs to find something to complain about. I have never personally been drawn to Suzuki and have always made fun of the old "Suzzook" when I could ... but would I buy one today? ...Absolutely! ... the S1000 GT and now...

    Kgalagadi by 4x4.

    Yep, that is so true! We have 38km from West to East coast here, so not much of a ride to anywhere. I particularly liked Sossusvlei as plenty loose sand, passing the Italians in their stuck Windhoek 4x4’s. The Nam vid to follow will be short when I do it, and will be about silence and air and...

    Kgalagadi by 4x4.

    Yeah, the hair was not under control on this trip. !Xaus was the highlight of the trip. We did a morning walk with fresh Lion spoor within 40m of the Lodge but did not see them. The two guides have their small little sticks with them so we were well protected. The 29km drive to the lodge was a...

    No Africa Twin ride this year, so a Hilux Double Cab had to do. https://youtu.be/d-5BlTt0YQs

    Africa Twin Adventure Sport

    Very unusual for this on this model. Perhaps clean the seal with a seal clean unit?

    Taking-a-drone-on-your-trip tips

    On the Air I used the standard controller but attached to an iPad Mini ... all controlling done with the controller and yes, with the toggles screwed in. This was then secured via a strap to my tank bag but was never really problem free ... it moves around alot and I was always afraid of it...

    This was with the Air but can't wait to try the 3 Pro on the next ride.

    Taking-a-drone-on-your-trip tips

    I have done 5 trips to Nam with my old Air but it lives in the Alu Topbox, no damage so far. It has changes everything about vids of bikes on a ride. The Air was time consuming to get up in the air but the 3 Pro is a breeze ... about 15 secs to airborne with the fly more monitor. I believe the...

    Garmin Zumo XT

    Sorry, yes I do. It's a US purchased model but that should make no difference. I have Basecamp and the other software (Express?) needed but cannot get the file to transfer to Basecamp. Will sukkel with it again this weekend.
