Gents I am in the process of purchasing a little BMW C1 scooter in Wilderness / George - only challnge is that I need to get it to Pretoria... What is the easiest and cheapest option? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Chaps My friend's son came off his little 125 whilst commuting to school, and lost a fair bit of skin off his legs (was wearing a short pant...) - solution would be to sort him with an ATGATT pant... Does anyone have a size 30 - 34 pant that you have out-grown? Will be much appreciated  ;D

...seems there are a couple of 125cc C1's that are readily available - ai do however think that the 200 will be a much better option(?)

Hi there all! I realise that I am looking for a fairly scarce commodity, but would like to get my hands on a BMW C1 200cc scooter. Traffic is just getting to me badly (guess I have grown too used to the efficiency of the Hong Kong public transport system over the past year...), so out of...

Gents I took the old R80GS Kalahari out of storage today (she started with the first push of the happy button after a whole yea of being mothballed!). I however immediately noticed that some of the little rubber knobs that the side-panels push onto are missing... Somehow, I recall that these...

Thanks for the warm welcome guys! I stuck the battery in today (was on Adriaan's tricle charger for a year), and pushed the happy button... The old lady roared to life with then first push of the button. Incredible! A huge word of thanks to Adriaan for the initial mothballing, and good advice.

Hi VB! You won't believe it, but I subsequently (after having sold 'your' Kalahari) found another Kalahari - this one had 19k kms on the odo, and in showroom condition. I bought it immediately! Shame - the guy whom I bought it from still e- mails me at keast once a month to see if I don't...

Wiff jean pant.

Brilliant! I should really load the vid of our local Parys De Aar rally - might still have a copy in the archives somewhhere...

Aint no Kalahari.

Took a minivan from Sai Kung (Google it - interesting little place...) to the Hong Kong Airport. Then took the high speed Airport Express train to HK Central MTR station. Theen: blue lineto North Pont, then purple line to Hang Hau. Now on rickety speeding green minibus back on my way to Sai Kung...

Eish - I was expecting a sense of community (and some macro-thinking), but unfortunately got quite the opposite. A sad day for me.

Chaps and ladies As you might know, the PDA trip is set for 26 April to 1 May this year (making good use of weekend time and a public holiday...). My situation is that I have a back-up trailer etc., but that I need a person with a 4x4 or dual purpose vehicle to be the back-up. Deal is that...

The absolutely legendary Parys De Aar (get the pun?) Adventure Rally is set to happen for the 6th year running from 26 April to 1 May (you only need to take 2 days leave...). Due to it's 'under-the-radar' status, I don't plan to make too much of a fuss of the event on the forum (or anywhere for...

...had a looong conversation with uncle Ted Simon (of course over a looong glass of red wine) - although he did his last RTW trip on a bike similar to my Kalahari, he is of the opnion that you should use a small, light and slow bike for eg. a cross-africa experience. A TW200 would for instance...

Free bump: this really looks like a good buy 😊

... Ah yes - the model issue - of course. It is a 2009 model 😄

Hi all My good friend Tony is selling his 1200GS - to give you an idea: Tony is in his eary 70s, commutes between Pta and Lanserio every day (168km) come rain or snow (of course on his GS), and ordered a new Rallye Edition 1200. Subsequently his is wanting to sell his better-than-brand-new...

Yep - pda is propvol bespreek 😄 Eish - hope I'm not going to drown the Kalahari again or do something stupid - that was very embarrassing. Doing stupid stuff however comes so naturally to me... He he ☺ I can't wait for the fun - it's a really cool group of guys joining this year (again)

...I can hardly beliefe it, but the legendary PDA is celebrating it's 5th anniversary this year 😊 We're departing from Parys next month (13th). It's going to be freezing, but hopefully the roads will be dry...
