Hi all The time has come: entries for the 2012 iteration of the now legendary Parys De Aar Adventure Rally are now open! If you are so inclined to participate in this rather off-beat adventure, please send a note to [email protected] (I'll then confirm the relevant details). Cheerio!

Hi there Doerengone Thanks for the update  :) Please PM me your contact details - I'll arrange for the bike to be viewed asap. Cheerio!

PM sent :-)

...ek dink die Enfield moet hierdie jaar se Parys De Aar toer meemaak as opwarming vir die trans-Afrika trippie :-)

Hi all! I would appreciate some advice please: I have a bunch of programmers and helicopter-heads in my department, so it's always a challenge to organise something interesting in terms of a year-end function. My thinking was to take them on a quad-bike trail or somehting like that... Do any...

Hi Dawid! Excellent - will be great to have you there :)

...when pinning down the dates for next year's event I figured that the Parys De Aar should have a bit of an edge in terms of it not being a 'soft' trip :) Subsequently the July date made a lot of sense - it'll be a different dynamic from previous years in terms of having to plan a bit...

Yep - it's happening for the 5th time :) Herewith some details: Day one – Thursday 12 July: Meet in Parys for preparation, kuier etc. Day two – Friday 13 July:  Parys -> Warrenton (approx. 354km) Day three – Saturday 14 July: Warrenton -> Orania (approx. 288km) Day four – Sunday 15 July...

Abso-damned-lutely :)

...and some more info: Day one – Thursday 12 July: Meet in Parys for preparation, kuier etc. Day two – Friday 13 July:  Parys -> Warrenton (approx. 354km) Day three – Saturday 14 July: Warrenton -> Orania (approx. 288km) Day four – Sunday 15 July: Orania -> De Aar (approx. 306km) Day five –...

Thanks Rob! Yep - I must confess that I see this event as an opportinity to 'kuier', and approach it with a huge sense of humour (hence intended pun on the Paris Dakar rally...). We e.g. also award the Generaal De la Rey trophy each year for the person that completes the trip on the oldest /...

You are quite right - the weather is a bit weird - I guess the odds are the lowest during this period though.. We had some serious mud with this year's event - and this was in May...

Hi all! As you might be aware, I orchestrate the Parys De Aar Adventure Rally each year, idea being to provide a completely off-beat opportunity for riders of any brand of motorcycle to explore the roads-less-travelled of the R of SA  :) Concept is to hit the gravel just outside Parys, and to...

Yep - Colin is pedantic that way - he looks after his bikes / cars etc. like a perfectionist.

Ek het geleer ry op presies so `n fiets - en glo my, ek het (nie intensioneel) my beste probeer om die fiets te breek, maar hy wou niks weet nie... Die ergste wat ooit gebeur het, is dat my clutch se rubber 'hose' bros geraak het van ouderedom, wat ek toe laat vervang het met `n 'braided' hose...

I can really vouch for Colin's bike: he has gone to incredible amounts of effort to have the bike serviced, looked after etc. Wish I had the spare cash...

Hi there guys My good friend Colin has put his immaculate R1100GS Anniversary Edition up for sale. - Year model: 1998 - Mileage: approx. 68,000km - Includes: panniers, top box, handle bar risers, side-stand add-on, alarm system, original tool set, ABS, heated grips - Price: R50,000 These...

...I realised with a fair amount of shock that I would most probably need to get my backside into gear and start getting the basics in place for the 5th iteration of the PDA. Realising that the calendar is filled rather quickly with tours, trips etc, I thought it pertinent to get some input...

Apologies - I'm IT-challenged (battling to add pics...). But here's the links I created: https://s71.photobucket.com/albums/i129/kalahariben/?action-view&current=28062011131.jpg https://s71.photobucket.com/albums/i129/kalahariben/?action-view&current=28062011130.jpg Hope it helps?

Hi all :) This bike crossed my path - thought I'd put it out there (I know a number of you will be looking for something like this for your kids etc.). Bike is practically new (has 2800km on the odo) - seller wants R10 000. You can contact Corne on oh seven two 67 four 8332. Herewith some...
