Greetings New(ish) ..... I fear that after a month you will be feeling Old(ish)! :shock: :shock: :D

Just returned from a visit to Durban. I had the chance to ride my brother's KTM 950SM. I have allways been rather neutral when it came to the Katooms, but I must admit this one had major grin factor. Yours truly and the 950 SM: Poor thing even managed to lift the front wheel with me on the...

So, thought I was a cowboy as well.... Welcome Red.... this one could go to six, maybe more pages.

I'll definitely tag along. (Was going to say "I'm in" ... but that would be just way to easy for the likes of Welsh!) :D

I'll be at the Rhino, together with a couple of mates from work. All signed up and ready to go. Intending to find myself a nice tree to sit under and "relax" for the weekend.....providing the view is up to scratch of course. :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :shock: :D

Question is, where do you put your tent, sleeping bag, coffee mug .......... not too bad looking for a KTM I suppose. :wink:

Wellcome GS12ZN. If you survive the week on the forum, you are probably going to make it. :wink:

Hey Nicki, great ride report, looked like fun. I must admit though I am more in favour of sending the ladies in to check the depth of the rivers...providing it's not to deep :wink:

Now that's a neat custom job, reckon you could sell it back to BM :wink:

Congrats Grootseun! Many happy k's.... :D

(By the way Gunner, that so-called waiting list is a rumor :evil: ) Hey TTZ, been to Pretoria, Menlyn & Midrand dealers....no joy and same story. I could get an Adventure without heated grips and ABS, but this time I plan to go big. Not quite sure how I will afford it ...... but the decision is...

Welcome Pierrer, You guys are killing me, second new 1200 today and I can't give my money away at the dealers :?

Greetings Kwacker, As a newbie myself I have found there to be one or two strange characters on this forum.......but they appear to be fairly harmless :shock:

Hey TTZ, still new here myself but welcome. Congrats on the new bike. I have been mopping round the dealers searching for one, they say the waiting list extends till Dec, in which case its worth hanging on to register the bike next year. :( :(

Bought a Tronic from Peter about a month or so ago. Quite impressed with the performance for the price. I still hear the missus quite clearly at 140km/h. It would be nice if the thing had an automatic sceam cut out :wink: I'll probably upgrade to a blue tooth intercom / cell phone / GPS...

It does get dirty every now and then :D :D :D

As I mentioned when I joined, I have a DL 650 K6 Wee-Strom. Great little bike with surprising performance (you can dial in 180km/h without too much effort) and a 22l tank to boot. Use it every day to work and every other occasion I can! Quite a few mods available, I fitted a sump guard that...

I found this really great Garmin GPS utility on the net. The programme Wingdb converts routes planned in Garmap into tracks. This is particularly useful if you are using an old GPS (such as my eTrex) which does not have maps. Save the file as a .gdb, start Wingdb and follow instructions. I...

..........and there I was thinking that you poor guys were probaby freezing your nuts off in this cold spell and really glad I didn't go with ......... oh well I suppose that even I can't be right all the time :cry: Glad you had a good trip though and thanks for the photos. :)

I'd be interested in topics such as preparing for a long trip, what to take with (camping gear reviews such as tents, sleeping bags etc), what do you really need and what to leave behind. Great mag by the way. 8)
