On the way back from Sun City early September we felt adventurous and took the dirt road from Maanhaarrand to Marikana over the mountain.(Breedsnek?) This was our first attempt at a dirt road! I still do not know if that was a good idea. The road was bad up to the sign that said that the rest...

I bought a new ZUMO 660 and find it to be a great toy on the bike and in the Disco. On a few trips we have seen that the routing is at best a bit “strange”. I have noticed that it loves U-turns and roads less travelled or still being planned. On a recent trip to the Dundee area the “strange”...

I did like every day. Did not see any Think Bike people on the N3 /N12. 3 Bikes came past me, and I past one --- standing on the side of the freeway, nogal a Hayabusa.  :biggrin: Normally the Hayabusa rider seems to suffer from SMS. (Small Man Syndrome). So I just smiled as I drove past.   ;D

Corrected! Logbook summary for 12 months.

As jy STUPID is moet jy Suffer!  :biggrin:

Ek gebruik die Sitplek Enigste nadeel is dat jy moet bietjie hardegat wees met die sitplek!  :biggrin: Ek het myne laat eksta stoffeer. Nou kan ek gemaklik 300km sit. Het al iemand met GSA geruil oor Des. Hy reken dit was die lekkerste wat hy ooit gery het want hy het gevoel hy kan die...

In the Gauteng traffic i wish that I could replace all the "Think Bike " stickers with stickers that say " Think ...sometimes"  :biggrin: It is astounding how many "Think Bike" cars cut bikes off in the traffic. Maybe their mirrors do not work ... or worse ... we are from the other-side and...

I did from Cytec in the south. R750 for the 2 H7 globes. R500 for one. >:(That is the one that was dropped before it could be used.  >:(

They are the Battlewing 501 in front and 502 on the back. Tyres are rated 90 / 10. Back still has more than 6mm of the 9mm tread depth left.

I have the standard Battlewing tyres on my 1200 GS How long do they normally last under normal usage. At 23,000  they still seem to have more than half of the tread left. I planned to do 30k on them.

My average consumption on my 1200 GS over 23,000 km is 4.77 l/100 Best consumption on the work run is 4.2 l/100 At 120 to 140 is differs from 4.7 to 5.5 l/100 Over 140 it goes up to 5.7. Worst I got was 6.8, but that was with 2 up in very strong wind at  140 to 160 between Joburg and Jan...

When going to the coast one can at least mitigate the risk of engine damage  by adding the octane booster. Knowing what to do helps

We have the same issue of riding slow. Solution the wife and I ride alone. We try to do 300 km every weekend. The oom and tannie on the 2 BMs head out in a direction and we don't hold any one up. We try to keep to the speed limits on tar but are normally slower and MUCH slower on dirt. My...

Two years ago in Cape Town when it would not stop raining, saw a chap in a wetsuit on his bike. Maybe that kept him dry.

I do 80 km to work and back every day. Do the lane splitting thing all the time. Now in the dark around Gauteng. My rule never more than 15km/h faster than the traffic. If the traffic moves faster than 60, I become a car. Watch out for Yaris drivers. They are the worst. Then women in skinny...

Great Report Having been to Kubu many times in July in a Landy,and always wondering what it would look like in the wet season, I now have two pictures: Beautiful and wait for the dry season! I admire your TightBite (Vasbyt). You have a story to tell. And those that have been will never...
