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

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 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...

Belangrikste twee vrae: Wat kos die bikes en is hulle tubeless? 😜

Prinspoort, Ladismith distrik. Veld lyk goed en die riviertjies loop steeds na die onlangse reën.

PM sent. Thank you

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...

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!

Borrowed money (I think R8000) and bought my first bike after I started working a year or so after matric, around '99/2000. Yamaha XS750 triple, late 70's model so already about 20+ years old at the time, but it was all I could afford back then. Was my pride and joy like you can't imagine...

My tent en stoeltjie sal nooit in 'n topbox pas nie (te lank). Persoonlik hou ek niks van die goed nie. 'n Tailbag werk lekker vir my met die noodsaaklikhede wat ek op enige trip wil hê, soos 'n pompie & puncture kit, medic kit, rol toiletpapier en 'n Leatherman. As jy op 'n trip gaan pak jou...

Dankie Chris - klink seker al afgesaag maar dêmmit dit was weereens 'n lekker trip! Dit was sommer goed vir my siel en gemoed ook en mens onderskat soms hoe lekker so change-of-scenery bonzai wegbreek kan wees. Ons het daai aand so lekker gesit en gesels om die vuur, paar lamstjoppies op die...

Het by Bike Kings gekoop.

Het ook onlangs 'n Acerbis Ramsey gekoop. Heel gaaf, maak net seker jy bestel die aparte back protector by EN dat dit die matching part is. Ek het my back protector verkeerd bestel maar kon gelukkig hom omruil met my winderbaadjie sin wat toevallig mooi pas. Size van die Ramsey sou ek sê is...

Probeer maar Maart. As Junie se koue en reën jou net sleg vang is daai pad nie jou maat nie.

Bridgestone Battlax Adventure AX41. On my second one (rear), I love them. Previous one gave more than 6000km without any punctures.
