    Bike selection for my needs

    Initially I am not wanting to buy 2 bikes as my wife will also get a bike and ride with me.  Until then, one bike.  Other than the BMW, any other suggestions. Bearing in mind that I tootle down the freeway at 100-110 km/h so I will not need a superbike and do 200 km/h. One of the issues...

    Bike selection for my needs

    Hi All, throwing this question out to all, any suggestions/advice welcome. I am in the market for a bike that must serve 2 purposes: 1. Daily commute, and 2. Adventure type riding on the weekend. But, 1. The daily commute is from near Hartebeespoort Dam to Vanderbijlpark almost every day of...

    Bikes on N1

    The concern is that thie has become "normal" behaviour probably on more than this stretch of road. And then when somebody dies, the topic gets very heated up.  And at the end of the day, there can only be losers.  There is no win-win option in this event!  Not for the driver and not for the...

    KTM 950 Adventure... Thoughts?

    Thanks, the dilemma is the std Adventure because I can get 2 feet flat on the tar while commuting, vs the R/S where I can go a bit harder on the weekends, but sacrifice some safety during the week while commuting. So, how much better is the R/S based upon the ground clearance springs etc. for...

    KTM 950 Adventure... Thoughts?

    So, if I go hard offroad on a rocky trail, will the height difference be an issue i.e. will the standard bike catch the sump guard and be restricted in terms of rocks and therefore routes?  Has anyone had this problem?

    Bikes on N1

    Weeeellllllll, 2 nights ago at just before 7pm, tootling along in the slow lane at 105km/h, along came a total idiot and for some reason or other I was not able to go fast enough for him in the slow lane.  So he resolved the matter by swerving out and then swerving back in front of me trying to...

    Bikes on N1

    Let me throw a few logs onto the fire... I studied the K53 road rules this weekend.  Some interesting stuff... 1. Bikes can overtake cars while in the same lane as the car - lane splitting. 2. Only 1 bike may overtake the same car at the same time. 3. Bikers may not ride 2 abreast in a lane -...

    AARTO Fine

    I got one years ago, and paid.  that was easy.  Then still got summonses etc. after having paid!  :patch: Eventually found their offices in Waterfall Park in Midrand, but not signposted at all.  5 people sitting in a shared office, about 18 months behind on paperwork.  Went in, and everything...
