Meeste ou karre ry kak as jy hulle met moderne motors vergelyk. Die tegnologie was nog nie daar nie, so die mense wat baie betaal vir ou karre jaag nostalgie na. Dieselfde met motorfietse. Daai ou Hondas se remme was horing, hantering was dubbel horing maar mense wat hulle nou begeer sal hulle...

Here is the ride report, if anyone was wondering which is the worst pass in the world. This should remove all doubt. Sani...huh...childsplay! https://wilddog.net.za/threads/breedtsnek-we-were-not-thinking-straight.231202/

Second only to the much feared Breedtsnek!

About 5 years ago I also thought that a trails bike will help me with my slow speed technical stuff, and was looking around, when Xpat said I can borrow his one, it was a Beta 280 factory if I remember correctly. It was parked under a tarpaulin, not ridden in a few years, so I changed all the...

Mark Taylor, aka Just Blip it, aka The Sadist, has my full respect as far as riding in Swaziland goes, I saw first hand how he effortlessly handles that heavy bike over the gnarliest terrain and then we struggle behind him with bikes weighing 100 kilos less. Some of my best biking memories were...

Some 20 years ago my wife and myself were driving from Cape Town to Gauteng at night, I got very tired, pulled off at an old railway station with an overgrown parking lot, parked with the car half in some tall grass. Slept like a baby for a few hours, woke up and saw the car in the grass...

Look, when you buy a vehicle from WBC you need to do your due diligence, check the Dekra report for what it is worth, take the vin number to BMW and see what they can tell you in respect of service history, recalls done etc, go over the vehicle with a knowledgeable person so you can pick up...

There are many dangers out there, bees, wasps, and those unidentified large beetles that you are grateful did not smack you in the eye as it would certainly cause loss of an eye. But wearing a helmet is non-negotiable, when I did track days at Kyalami, every time I ran out of talent and came...

3kw is not going to cut it for an EV, maybe for scooters with small batteries, but EV's are more in the 18kw range.

Xpat and myself were on one of our unforgettable adventures to go ride a dunefield he found in Botswana on Google maps. He was on his 690 and I was on my trusty Husky 610. A few km's before Bray my bike seized. As I stood next to the sandy gravel road, all the oil pissed out of my engine, it...

I have seen those moose balls in overseas mags, not sure if they are available here yet, but that would be the business, just carry a few spare balls if any of them go south.

They are great bags, and tough too, can take a good tumble and survive. Just make some decent brackets to tie it to on your bike.

Cansius nou moet jy net 'n Rottweiler airfilter en jet kit insit. Paul Fawkes (Tito RIP) het myne ingesit en hom vir 'n spin gevat, toe hy terugkom dink ek hy het vir 'n week lank gesmile! Myne het spontaan in 2de gewheelie as jy hom oopmaak. Seker 20% meer krag! DAN is dit 'n bike soos geen...

O nee fok, dan gaan Petri se clutch begin gly!

Dis 'n 200km/h dirtbike! Myne gate uit geniet. Hy maak jou 'n hooligan of jy nou wil of nie! GLWTS
