:thumleft: Thanks guys.

For the benefit of others who might also be interested. The response from saiw: "Thank you for your enquiry. Unfortunately, two bits of bad news – we only do the practical welder training at our Johannesburg facility, and we don’t have part-time or after-hours training. However, the good news...

Bookmarked, will contact them.  :thumleft:

Hmmm. There is not something specific I want to do, other than DIY type welding. I am very proficient in creating 'dove crap' type welding joints, and the finishing disc is currently my best friend.  :-\ I always admire a nice clean weld, walking the cup etc... So, the idea is to learn how to...

Noted, thank you. I am not even a weekend welder  :lol8:, so yes, your view is also very valid and true.

OK, thank you for the response. I have had a suspicion that would be the response. And yes, you are correct in all your assumptions.  :thumleft: Will investigate the options for doing it the right(easier) way.

I have a thermadyne dc welder. From what I gather I just need to get a tig torch, a gas regulator and a bottle of argon gas in order to start tig welding. What are the opinions out there, would this be sufficient to get into tig welding as a start or would it be better to start with something...

Wow. Added to my bucket list. Sent from my LG-H735 using Tapatalk

I am flying up to Johannesburg on the 3rd of September to fetch a car in Potchefstroom. I will be driving down to Cape Town via Bloemfontein. I can take something small in my hand luggage going up, or something bigger coming back down. The car does have a tow-bar, so could even bring someone's...

Ha ha, be careful of coming here, you might not want to return... Ja, one needs to be careful. Locked gates, and signs stating private property I pass. You ignore those at your own peril, as people I used to ride with found out. Think angry farmer, hunting rifle etc... Most, if not all of the...

Volgende keer Arno.  :thumleft: Snaaks hoe klein die wereld is ne.  ;)

Day 4 ( More gates, armed escort, Jouberts pass, Home!) So I wake up on day 4, Tuesday, women's day. Glad I decided to cancel the camping spot and checked into the guesthouse, as the temperature at 08:30 is still 3 degrees. The route for today: Today I wished I had made a plan to mount my...

Day 3 (To Hell and back, literally!) OK, so I get up on day three, Monday morning. Go to the bike, check to see if by any miracle I have enough power to start it. Nope, push the button and get the usual reset of the dials, but no roar of the motor. Ok, so this can be one of three things. I...

Day2 (Econo run, Ouberg pass, farm gates, Karels Kraalpas, did I mention gates, Merweville, battery issues…) Irony: [noun] " a situation in which something which was intended to have a particular result has the opposite or a very different result" More on that later….. Right, so waking up the...

From time to time I need to get out and away to just clear the mind and get focused on the road/life ahead. I put in leave for the 8th of August, and with the 9th being a public holiday, I had 4 days for heading out on my trusty steed, exploring the roads less traveled out there. I moved down...

Agreed skydiver. The miles/distance left function has been disabled since about 2011. What has been put in it's place is what you have seen and that is the number of kilometres traveled since the reserve light came on. Reserve should be about 4 litres. Sent from my LG-H735 using Tapatalk

Quite an enjoyable day, thank you for organizing this Hanno and Kevin.  :thumleft: Riding mud is one thing, riding mud downhill is another kettle of fish...  :snorting:

Mikie, please post the feedback you get on Die Hel if you do get some from the lead Rebelwithacause sent you. I want to go there around 7/8 Aug and am also interested in road conditions. :ricky:
