I have a weird feeling that Wednesday is going to be a half day. who's with me? I must see what's happening in the office. But keen to meet at the quarry at 3pm, ride until 6pm.

Truant quarry team :)

Good thing you're only 12, so you've got many years of childhood left. I think this is the link: https://www.denvlier.co.za

You won't find one second-hand. Best bet is to order with someone (like fulltaps, for example) and share the shipping cost. There are some local guys who supply them new as well.

Anyone heading out to quarry tomorrow 29th January in the Afternoon? I'm busy with my kideo till around 12pm and then need to get back to the quarry. between 2 and 4 i guess i'll be there. sms me: oh ate three 6355121

Shhhhh. So can I come camping or what? And can we do skiet n ry? I ride you stand, on the pillion pegs and shoot animals for dinner. It'll be awesome.

I have the same 'problem'. Live in Claremont, work flexi-hours and nowhere close enough to ride. We can always head out to the quarry for an afternoon sometime?

Great, cause I don't want to go on any rides that are less than 88.2% dirt :)

Its way too fast for me now. Rode it last night. Awesome fun. 434 piston and barrel. Light-weight valve springs. Intake-cam. Leo vince pipe. Superbike Solutions air-flow mod. Haven't dyno'd yet. Will post results when it's done.

Thanks guys!! Heimer... is that dirt or tar?

I bought a 2005 with 11000km on the clock for R27500. But that was such an unbelievably lucky find. I sold it for more than that a year later. The price is a bit on the high side, but good DR650's are hard to find. In fact ANY DR650 is a hard thing to find second hand. If you know it's decent...

you'll get very similar performance to an F650GS. no, suzuki take advantage of prices.

Yah, this bike will be far faster than I can ride. I should get it back today (leaky clutch actuator seal that Suzuki South were slow to deliver). We'll ride this weekend.

A friend stays in Worcester, planning to go visit sometime over the next few weeks, want to take my time via some gravel on the way up. Thinking of going: N2 from Cape Town N2 to Houw Hoek Dirt from Houw Hoek pass to Botriver North on Dirt from Botriver to Tweewaterskloof Then just keep...

I had the same thing on my DR. Tire pressure is the first check, you've done that. Try hardening back suspension? Or take it to someone who knows (Superfoxi is a good option) If you've just put a new tire on it may be that. Certain tread combinations cause head shake (I think).

Engine's READY!!!!!! Collecting on Monday or Tuesday. I may ask for the crank to be tig-welded, for extra strength  :thumleft: but otherwise we're all good. Looking at between 45 and 50 bhp :)

Hot cam 434 piston - big bore barrel Some fancy air-flow mod on the bottom end of the piston It's not confirmed yet, we'll see once it's all back together and on the road. 50bhp does seem a lot, stock I was getting 39bhp.

I'm keen for Mid-February. And you still owe me a bike lesson.  :deal:

I should get my bike back on Monday  :thumleft: There are rumours of 50bhp. I suppose I should learn how to ride.

I know you can get gearbox bearings aftermarket (i'm having some fitted to my bike currently), not sure about gears. But yeah, as Le Cap most of the cost is labour. My parts were about R2500 and I think labour will be close on R3000 or R4000. Waiting for final quote as well.
