Anakee 2 Front and rear.

First time on a bike was my dads 150 Lambretta scooter in '68. In high school I rode a friends chappy. At varsity '79, I met this Girl that introduced to biking.. she had a Pasola, a green one. Had my biggest off on that in Die Fonteine in Pretoria. (My mother never forgave her, and she is...

That makes sense. I kept the pressure at 2.1 bar. was a softer ride :biggrin:

I need some wise council. My 1200GS front tyre has a strange wear pattern. This wheel has been balanced 3 times, twice statically and once with a machine. The bike does not have a shake or any abnormality that I can notice. The tyre is wearing down to show almost "bumps" They are about 1cm...

This is confusing. On the Udo Carelse show on 702, Motor Cycle Diaries, the Think Bike guests have said that all bikes are allowed to use the right hand emergency lane on the Gauteng Freeways. I have been doing that for the last 3 months every afternoon. So far no Metros have stopped me or...

Agreed!

I can also just say that I have always received brilliant servers from BMW. Auto Alpina, Boksburg. I took my bike in for a check-up the other day as I felt that the battery was suspect as it struggled to start on the very cold mornings, and because the front of the engine appeared to be oily...

Geluk. Geniet jou Fiets! Remember good things do happen to good people. And may you never loose the grin you get when you get on your bike.  :biggrin:

Die klein mannetjie is Baie kwaad.  :biggrin:

I have a Leatt. Got it from ChrisL. Works great in summer. In winter with more clothes it sits high and restricts my head movement. Have about 5 deg movement.  OK when riding in a straight line only. If you a a natural frontrow the Leatt is not an easy wear and will restrict your head...

My H7 on the GS  lasted about 30,000 km. In that time they also got so hot that the fitting behind the light melted. They are bright but costly. Paid R750 for 2 from Cytec. If I compare them to the LED spot light that Katundu has they look like a "candle in a jam tin" that we used on our box...

Agreed. Good service good quality workmanship. I ride from the south of Joburg. And their wheel balancing machine works. After they balanced my wheels correctly, it felt like a new bike.

I think it is a great idea / plan. The event is controlled and you can control and vet the riders. We we did the Intermediate course at Swartkops, we did approx 40 + laps after instruction. What I picked up there saved my bacon more than once on and off the road. Someone mentioned that many of...

Done

Agreed. Best fit for my riding so far. They do scare me though.. they totally out perform my ability  :biggrin:

Thanks. You shared a great amount knowledge. The monkey see, monkey gets wife to do, works for me.  :biggrin: Hope to do more similar ones in future.

Thanks D Man, that place looks good, I think we will make a booking there, have you done any research on what the terrain is like around Serowe? Sand? Have done most of the route in the past in a Landy.In May you should have lots of sand and less powder. Plan to start riding soon after sunup...

I don't have panniers, but I have have a top box that make one think of the pharmacy or pizza delivery guy. Needed it big for my laptop and gym bag. It's not the looks, it how functional it is, that matters, I think.
