Nope - the rest of us were fine, the rest of the road was dry, but Ben, Ben, Ben - .. he HAD to find the one mudhole in the whole of the Delmas area to get stuck in.
Was fun though!!!
Philgil - saw some pics of your bike on the Africa Twin Forum on Stu's write-up. This was the ride with the tanker rolling?, no. Tell more!
Stu is a nice guy to ride with! (Shame about the Suzi though).
I've done about 7000km and a couple of falls with my Brakbusters fitted. apart from two issues, I'm happy.
At full lock in either direction the Barkbusters knock against the instruments cluster - this has caused an abrasion on the plastic, but no major damage.
This weekend the holding bolt...
Checked Touratech and they only have an extender - this will only make things worse, mefinks? The option is thus Braam at Shimwells. Will have it done when I service my bike before Moz - will post when done
Didn't get a formal quote but the amount of R750 was mentioned - I'm not sure what this will include, etc.
Got a price from Linex on a new Yamaha pedal - R389 ex VAT, so that's a lot cheaper. But it is likely to break again and then when you buy the next one that is R800+ which is then again...
Thanks Cable Tie
Spoke to Braam - apparently he modifies a YZ pedal to fit and fold away. He also adds a "brake snake" for better protection. Sounds like the thing. Has anyone done this, and if so: how did it work. It is a somewhat costly mod!
Has anyone replaced their rear brake lever? Every time I go down on the right side I seem to bend the brake lever. Recently had two bad (not bad really but very spectacular falls) and the brake lever is beyond repair. I am looking to replace it, but with what?
Ideally it would be more robust...
Hey Guys
I'm finding myself polishing the front fender of my 660 more and more often just for the shear sensual pleasure of feeling and caressing the shape and contour. I've been advised too seek professional help for this behavior, but I am not sure that these people understand what it is...
Hey Guys
An old friend of mine is turning her place into a "biker friendly" breakfast venue. She is doing a trail run this sunday. Knowing her it would be worth your while to pop in if you are in the vicinity.
