    18 Liter clarke tank for sale - sold

    I have a black 18 liter clarke tank for sale. It was on my bike for a few months, some minor scratches on it but all in good working order and whatnot. Landed cost for a new one is around R3600.

    DRZ462: Living with it

    I did intake cam and 434 piston, it made a massive difference. A 462 must be wild  >:D Love it.

    Wireless Earphones for Inside my Helmet?

    Yes. It is a big risk listening to music while riding. Does anyone know of a decent wireless set of earphones that I can use for an Mp3 player while on my bike? So they have to be earphones to fit inside the helmet :)

    changing to road bikes...???

    Really? I find the drz's gear too short and the wind-buffeting on the highway is no fun. but you think it'll be easier than a 600cc road bike?

    changing to road bikes...???

    Was having fun on the DRZ on the tar last night (the gearing is a little short, so highways are not great). And signed a good contract for next year. I think i will try to practice some patience and maturity and buy a second bike midway through next year (such a luxury problem).  Though my new...

    changing to road bikes...???

    Hahaha. you are too wise, good sir. Think in 4 - 6 months I will be able to buy myself a decent road bike, gonna do something foolish like buy a GSXR or CBR.

    Insurance: So who do you use and premium please?

    Dirt Sure. They are far cheaper than anyone else for D/S bikes.

    I am like you! except I don't have the Honda or KTM. And what can I expect for my DRZ?

    Bike accident in Hartenbos

    That's what I go with. When metal, tarmac and flesh collide it doesn't matter who is wrong or right. It still hurts a lot. Being legally 'right' (or less wrong) doesn't help... looks like a messy scene. Hope all are okay.

    changing to road bikes...???

    My plan is to get a road bike late next year. but I feel bad / lame letting my drz stand 6 out of 7 days a week. But yes, ideally I will get a 2nd bike next year as a road bike.

    changing to road bikes...???

    I own a DRZ. I love it. But I have taken it offroad twice in 6 months. Getting offroad from Claremont / Newlands is a bit of a thing; it requires a morning off or a whole day. and having a little kid who is 3 getting that much time off is a challenge. I am considering selling it to acquire a...

    What's wrong with the DR650's?

    I rode one for just over a year. Put 5000kms on it. It's like the toyota corolla of bikes. It's well made, reliable, gets the job done, is simple and easy to maintain, but isn't fancy or impressive. I swapped it for a DRZ which is 30kgs lighter than the 650 and makes the same power. But for a...

    What does it take to qualify as a "Ninja"? (talking kawasaki here)

    I don't really understand the superbike nomenclature or system. I assumed that all performance bikes (ie GSXR / CBR / ZX-R / RZF125, 250, 600, 750 and 1000) were highly-strung flat-4 engines. However I found out this week that the 500cc Ninja is a parallel twin and what the americans call the...

    Another fine example of ATGATT

    Grown up's can make their own choices. I get very upset when I see kids (under 12) in helmets that don't fit and school uniform (ie shorts or dress) on the back of dad's scooter or bike.
