Chris, from what I've seen most of that land gets used for cattle and/or sheep and/or food for them. Many hobby farms around here do the horse thing too. Further south, they do the wine thing; same climate as the Western Cape. Maar ek is nie 'n boer nie, so ek raai ook maar effens. Apologies...

Same can be said for pretty much anything that needs to contact ground level: rakes, mops, brooms etc. I myself glued a nice long broomstick to our shopvac's head and first section of rigid pipe so I can use the thing standing upright. If it looks stupid, but it works; it's not stupid!

Daai ding in the eier-karton: Lyk vir my soos 'n dual-stage boring bar...

Hierdie 1997 KLR650 - C3 Kort 'n windscreen en crashbars. Ongelukkig is hierdie model die vergete stiefkind van die KLRs - bitter min info beskikbaar.

My imagination is letting me down badly here. How do you use the camp shovel as a stand?

@Hollywood, is dit verregaande om te wonder of Footpeg Diaries besig is om 'n colab te reel met Itchyboots?

So just: clean it, lube it, crank it? I'm assuming if I take the weight off the back wheel it will make my life a little easier? (Provided, of course, the bike doesn't fall off the stand as I'm cranking...)

Long story short: I'm heavier than the previous owner of my 1997 KLR 650 C and want to max out the preload on the rear shock. Measured the sag yesterday at 84mm when it should be 60-66mm (depending on if you use 30% or 1/3rd of the 200mm total travel). Is there anything I should know (tips...

You're not wrong!

Die C model se gebrek aan 'n windscreen maak dit effe ongemaklik bo 100km/h, ja... Dis maar soos 'n volla: as jy 'n spoed boete kry, raam jy hom!

Ek het eintlik meer verwys na die roetes en paaie wat hulle ry, maar as iemand vir my 'n Africa Twin persent gaan gee, gaan ek nie nee sê nie! Hehehe! Ek is nie seker waar ek aanmekaar sit is nie (ek was nie daar nie), maar ek het grootgeraak in Natal - Ladysmith, om meer spesifiek te wees. Ek...

3 years ago I left PTA and moved a couple of hours south of Perthtoria. Then, about a year ago, I finally bought by very first vroom-vroom: a 1997 KLR650-C. Got my License in March this year. En nou probeer ek byhou met my vriend se 1200GS met die bitter min off-road ondervinding wat ek het...
