    Damaraland, northern Namibia (2017)

    Thanks for the RR Zanie. Just read your 2 reports back to back. It was a very good read. Thank Lance for the videos, too. They really elevate the report.

    Suzuki DR (750)

    Die een fiets wat ek meer na gehunker het as die DR was die AT. Die ding wat ek die meeste van die AT hou is sy betroubaarheid. Ongelukkig is ek ook deesdae n een bike persoon en as n fiets jou daaglikse vervoer is dan tel daai betroubaarheid vir baie. Dis waar dat die AT swaar is wanneer mens...

    Suzuki DR (750)

    Teen daai verbruik verander jou instruksie aan die petroljoggie seker na "Maak vol die olie en check die petrol". Hoop jy kry dit uitgesorteer. Ek sal altyd wonder of ek uitgemis het om nie so fiets te besit nie want ek was mal oor die goed.

    AT or KTM 640

    Never mind the string - rock and a hard place if you ask me! Yes, the AT is very heavy but I don't trust the KTM mechanically. I'm probably biased after seeing a friend's KTM 640 not lasting a trip through Kaoko. Then again, neither did the new KLR and I know there are plenty of 640s that have...

    Any one know an Italian bike brand called Benelli-Pics

    Beautiful bikes BUT... 1. The company's finances are questionable though with the new Chinese owners that might change, along with the build quality? 2. Build quality is also questionable. I don't think I've ever read a report on any of their bikes where something didn't break or rattle loose...

    Metzler Sahara 3 on Africa Twin?

    I'm running a Sahara on the front at the moment - leftover from my KLR which was stolen minus the front wheel. Grip is fine although it still feels very dodgy in these -0 conditions but no worse than other other tyres and certainly better than the Heidies. They are however not your beset value...

    I was not expecting this!

    Jip. And loads of it.

    I was not expecting this!

    he spokes are new stainless steel ones but having seen what they've done with the rims I should probably have had the old ones polished in stead of replaced. Too late, and at least I know these will look good for longer than the old galvanised ones.

    I was not expecting this!

    My rear rim cracked and my front rim was showing serious signs of corrosion, so I thought I'd bite the bullet and get both replaced. Took them to Hagon which is up the road (ish) from me and they convinced me that the corrosion on the front rim could probably be polished out. Since there's...

    Namibia trip

    Ja, dit was n groot frustrasie van op die plaas groot word want daar was nie regtig so iets soos in die veld gaan stap nie - jy moes maar by op die paaie bly. Natuurlik moes jy ook doodseker maak jy kwes niks nie of dat die bok val op n oop deel anders raak vader effe moerrig.. Het al n paar...

    Namibia trip

    Jislaaik Chris, jy moet nie met sulke sucker punches kom hier uit die bloute nie! Dis my gunsteling deel van daai hele  pad (al 178km van dit!), veral in die somer as die wêreld so mooi groen is. Ai, verlang ek nou. Terloops, het jy geweet die aasvoels in seker dele van die noorde het n...
