They're available as a repro part her in Europe but are pretty pricey - around £35 each from memory. Doing an international search on ebay shows a few damaged ones available in the States. If you need to get the ones from UK let me know and I'll see if I can find any 2nd hand ones for you.

There's no reason that this shouldn't be easy (and reasonably cheap) to accomplish. I have made several inflatable kayaks  before, the material I use is PVC ideally 610gm/square meter, but the latest hull I'm making is for a wooden framed folding kayak from the 1950's which I'm using...

Drop below your 300cc limit to a 250 and buy a Yammy Xt 250 Serrow. Great bike, cheap to maintain and run, takes massive punishment and has been taken on several RTW trips. Presuming you don't weigh too much you won't regret the choice.

According to MCN it's a front tow loop: https://www.motorcyclenews.com/MCN/bikereviews/searchresults/Bike-Reviews/Yamaha/Yamaha-XT660Z-Tenere-2008-current/ Last sentence in the Overall Verdict.

Most of the coastal roads around Swartkopmund used to be salt packed roads. They would get really hot in the summer heat and melt rubber off the car tyres, leaving 2 rubber strips on the bits of road that got high traffic.

Thanks for the reply Mark. Geoff (my mate) has already got some massive wooden poles / logs that have been treated. They're massive - about 5 meters long, with a diameter of 45cm! I have access to a mini-digger - think I might use it to excavate the bank and build a platform to work from and...

Great pics, Judy, love that one of the water-lilly. Did you and Mark build that little jetty? How did you set the uprights in the water? A friend has asked me to help him build a deck out over the side of his dam and has some massive logs to do it with, but the slope is really steep and the...

Personally I would go with the new bike and finance it over 3 years. Haggle a bit with the dealer and you can get some farkles thrown in for free. I bought mine in 2009 and finished paying her off last year, the price included a TT bashplate, the touring screen, the 1000 click and 5000 click...

Jeeez, how long you been back now? I was starting to despair about ever seeing this post!  :pot:

Sub. What a great way to bond with your kid.

Ah you dumb prick! Bad timing! To be fair I had a moment a couple of days ago where I was in the wrong lane at a robot, next to a boy racer and got a touch to eager on the throttle. There was a moment where my front wheel was pointing at the air as the turn-off got closer and me thinking "If the...

You mean like this? ???

Yup, TrailBlazer has got it right. BoPlaas is the place to stay. Lekker secluded spot with the manager (Donald) prepared to go out of his way to help guests. Here's the link: https://www.diehel.co.za/the-camp-site/

The best way to stop it from snapping would obviously be to wheelie everywhere.  ::)

If you're looking for one with an internal thread make sure you know what thread is on your shaft  ::) Also check whether it is a right or left hand thread. In the UK they are stocked in a range of imperial sizes as well as metric. I had a tough time finding a left-hand 1/2 inch UNF threaded one...

Oy, CT! When we going to see a RR for this?  :laughing4:

CT is riding in Namibia at the moment (Swakopmund today - the bastard!) but I'll dig through our collection and see what I can find for you this weekend.

Damn, that's pretty  :laughing4: :laughing4:

Glad to hear it was nothing serious then. When I rode up through Africa on the East Coast there was a German guy in Nairobi who's shaft had disintegrated. (Sounds painful  :biggrin: ) He was stuck there for months while he shipped a new one in - that was 20 odd years ago though, the biggest...
