    Mid-life crises..... Selling GS1200 and getting a KTM 640 adv

    I was about to post the same.. I have always loved the 640..but a thumper like that on a commute gets tiring really quickly. I know, I sold my 690 because of that

    KTM 690 - give it to me straight

    my 2012 with rally fairing averaged about 21km/l. The 2017 which was standard did a bit better if I recall. Will have to go search for my fuel logs

    KTM 690 - give it to me straight

    I have had 2 of them. One a 2012, the other a 2017. Never had any issues with them. Really a fun bike to ride. Made commuting a blast as well.

    Dunlop D 606 or Pirelli MT 21?

    Luckily I dont have any cracking on mine. Not sure if pressures play a role. I kept it at about 2bar in all conditions, maybe up to 2.2 if I had to commute. Really impressed with the mileage I got out of it

    Dunlop D 606 or Pirelli MT 21?

    Think its still the same. Mitas changed their naming convention. Same for the E07+, now called something different. I am very impressed with the E13. Especially the mileage I am getting on my AT, with a lot of tar riding

    Shaun Dickens - Bike Sellers Beware

    Daar in die Goodwood/Parow area is sulke vriendelike mense. Een van die kinders speel Springbok slot. Hulle is bekend om vreeeeeeslik gaaf te wees. Kan ook nie boks of sulke goed doen nie. Ek wonder of hulle nie dalk n fiets wou koop nie

    Shaun Dickens - Bike Sellers Beware

    I saw that add but it did make me wonder about scammers in general. If you browse marketplace you will often see the same add, or photos pop up under some dodgy name. While I was shopping for a replacement SUV, I came across a few of these where I remember the original add, then suddenly it has...

    Snake Photos

    We had another visitor to the garden. Think it was the veld fire that perhaps drove him this way. Luckily the local snake whisperer was there quickly and took him away

    Standaard vs Adventure

    Op die AT, het die Adventure Sports n groter tenk, sitplek se hoogte is anders, kom standaard uit met crashbars en so paar ander goed. Eintlik is die sitplek al wat ek sou soek van die ATAS. Die groter tenk is nie vir my so nodig nie

    If you can get it to Brackenfell, I would suggest taking it to Deon from Trpl7

    10" tyres - where?

    Try Errols Tyres. They have 2 advertised on their site. I also struggle since my old Jurgens trailer uses 10' tyres
