    Wanted: BMW R80 or R100 GS - any flavour

    Thanks Bobnob - eish - I've spoken to the seller & he has unfortunately already sold his GS... pity - was a good price (will be great if I can get away with something between R20k and R30k).

    Wanted: BMW R80 or R100 GS - any flavour

    Ok - I realise my request borders on impossible, but I am looking for any flavour R80 or R100 GS - in any condition (so long as price corresponds). Eventual purpose is to use it as a 2nd bike for the real off-road stuff (...don't want to put my Kalahari through too much punishment for...

    -> Long Way Down to Agulhas (and Cape Town)

    Hmm - yes - the standing thing... My Kalahari seat is absolutely spectacularly comfortable - so standing only required when things get REALLY tough (Im a lazy rider... standing seems like effort). So I guess the standing thing should be based on how comfortable your seat is rather that when /...

    Monthly off-road run

    No brother - some of the route trekked over some farmland - we did some pretty serious sand riding - deep 2-track sand ditches that someone at some stage called a road. Didn't get pics of the sand riding as we had to hold on to the handlebars for dear life...

    Monthly off-road run

    Yep - it happened again: I sent out an invite and some people rocked up to ride with me and Eugene (grammar correction - Eugene and I). Met at Harties, headed out along the kanaal, then headed north in the direction of Rooiberg. Encountered some seriously soft sand on one of the farms that we...

    CMA/Riverside Mixer fundraiser event

    Hey guys! Thanks for a lekke day - I think everything worked out brilliantly at the end, despite the loss of the GPS track, the couple of spills etc. Sorry that I left so early - the wife had some family over from Germany, so I had to go sort the logistics. Leo - glad to hear they had...

    Monthly breakfast run: Sunday 28 January

    ...most of the route will be dirt - the only dilemma is to get from the Touratech HQ to the turn-off towards Groblersdal. So I guess you can reckon on approx. 300 km's dirt, depending whether you want to head back to Pta via tar or via dirt...

    Hey thanks all for participating in the run - thanks especially to Leo for leading the route, and Gunner for the ride report.

    Monhly off-road breakfast run - Sunday 15 October

    Sharp-sharp - I've added you to the list - I think it's going to be a lekke ride. Leon's right - it's a very easy ride - the only bit that will take a bit of concentration is the stretch up Breedts nek (fortunately, however, the road seems to be freshly scraped, so there aren't any rocks etc...
