I had Anakee Wilds on both front and rear. The rear didn't last long and was very noisy for me. Now I have a Wild on the front and the normal Adventure on the back and I find it a great combo for both dirt and tar. The rear has done 7000k's and still has a lot of meat on it.

My takeaways from the weekend... 1. The KTM is still kak 2. Brad needs to start talking to the Japs about getting on a Yamaha or Honda for next year. 3. Unless you're in the Spanish/Italian club you're not getting on a Ducati. 4. The "sensational rookie" tag for Acosta is wearing thin, he keeps...

Maybe consider an earlier model Africa Twin, not complicated. More dirt bike than a GS and more road bike than a T7, at 120kg's you may enjoy the bigger torque of the 1000cc's...

Thanks Petri (y)

Selling my Triumph Speedmaster. Beautiful bike to ride, has comfort seats, bags, touring screen, cruise control, traction control and two rider modes. Excellent condition and only done 29000k's. Wanting 125k onco. I've had it less than a year but the daughter needs a car so I have to say goodbye...

2017 Honda Africa Twin manual and I have a Triumph Bonneville Speedmaster 1200.

If you're in the Overstrand area these holidays and fancy spending some time exploring on two wheels send me a PM. Got two bikes that are available for hire at decent rates. :-):)

Also depends on how and where the bike falls. Even a light dual sport will be difficult if it falls the wrong way on a hill.

https://africatwin1000.blogspot.com/2016/03/accessoire-tubeless-kit.html good info if you are thinking about doing the conversion.

I have done a tubeless conversion on the back wheel of my Africa Twin. I did it myself using 3M extreme tape and marine grade sealant. I was extremely careful on the cleanliness of the rim etc etc. Over 5000k's later I've had to put 0.2bar in once and that's riding on all types of surfaces...

Watched a Youtube video last night with a guy that has a bike rental place in Tenerife. Lots of Triumphs, Harleys etc and a few Royal Enfields. He wants to get rid of the RE's because he has to wait 6 weeks for spares.

If you see someone ahead riding alone and you take the opportunity to blast past them at 160km/h without making sure they know you are there is a pure dangerous (and d*ckhead) move.
