I'm definitely not going to start a debate with you. But for one, this video is not a representation of the fabrics we use. Or the proof of how long they last. Cheers..

Howzit guys and girls? The Turkana 20L or 30L HippoHips saddles will fit the 1250GS well. If you have OEM racks, you can get a supporting plate if you want to use the saddles as classic-over-the-seat, or you can use our hard plate quick release plates. The Hippohips are waterproof, as are the...

Lekker! Dankie vir die ondersteuning Johan. Nou kan jy ook spog met die beste fanny-pack vir bikes :cool::)

Hi Limacon, as @dookie mentioned I am the Fat, curly-haired one and only. And sometimes a bit dodgy added as well. :D We try our damndest to make the gear as tough as possible. We manufacture Turkana in South Africa, as we can control the quality and design. The reason for making them in ZA as...

I know it is half a year late, but a friend just send me the link. We have tested the velcro on the Madmules thoroughly as we kept with the design of the system before offering them to the market. The bottomline is you will break other stuff before the velcro will let go. The velcro piece on the...

Apologies, I missed this as I am not really active here. And worse I cannot offer a helpful answer as I do not know. :)

Damn those were the good days. True proper no bull shit ADV passion.  :thumleft:

Sorry boys for the late reply. Sofar about 3 months, but we have been in lockdown in Bolivia ever since so no bloody riding allowed at all and cant tell anymore since that. The problem is also the glue is dodgy and not the quality stuff we get in ZA, which I am sure will last better than the...

Sidi seems to fall apart, not just the company, also the soles of their boots. I made a video here how to fix the shit yourself, Sidi won't help you. :) https://www.pikipikioverland.com/sidi-what-is-going-on-with-your-quality/

It is true, the biggest reason we lost the 650 class in ZA is due to Euro 4 or 6 or whatever standards ZA adopted a year or so ago. The kicker being they, the government, have no fucking idea how it works or have the diagnostic machines or know how. But they adopted it and we lost. So the entire...

Easy just a few days. It is been done in Kayalami JHB.

You don't insurance for South Africa, the insurance is build into our Road Accident fund and is funded within every liter of fuel you use. For the rest of other African countries you buy insurance on the border upon entry. Comesa for some reason is not used anymore. Health insurance best we...

Sorry Windswept would have loved to continue but I stopped as very few here read it and it's a mission and work to keep it up. The local crowd that followed here is in any case doing so on Advrider or our FB.   :-[

This is not your average rag job adventure clothing company. Funny Emily and Ashley at reception. With our current motorcycle clothing getting a bit rough around the edges and resemble beggars rags. People told us KLIM is on our route and should stop at KLIM to have a look at their pimp daddy...

BigDom we really enjoyed New Mexico and places like Sante Fe. The arts and sculpture scene is pretty cool there. Thanks Warren  :thumleft: Jakkals, the DR's is nou nie die beste hardcore Dakar races en power nie, maar as overland tools doen hulle n damn goeie job.  ;)
