Yes, advertised my Africa Twin on Saturday moring, and pendoring is now, Wednesday afternoon,  happily on his way to Bloemfontein with it. Respect to the man! He got on a Greyhound bus in Bloemfontein yesterday evening and is now riding it back over two days. Enjoy!

Pieter, ek hoop jy het baie lekker lang myle met hom!

Hi Zagser, Thanks for the info regarding the 650GS. You make a valid point regarding the suspension travel and spoked wheels and 21" front wheel. This definitely improves hard-core "off-road" riding ability for the bike. Now, this is exactly part of my point. I am not a hard-core "off-road"...

Snafu, thanks for the definitive info on the weight. So anyway the AT and TA are both in the same league. The 5000km service I was told by a mechanic at a local privately owned bike repair facility. I don't have the owner's manuals and the Haynes manual was just plain confusing. So, I fully...

Ok, Pendoring is organising to fly down from Bloem to the Cape to come and take a look, so he is really serious. Its not a done deal yet, so I will let you guys know by the latest the coming weekend if he takes it or not. So, at the moment, Pendoring has a definite option on it. As far as I...

Hi Eisbein, Yes, I have looked at the TA, and it is a lovely bike, but also suffers from the weight problem like the AT. What clinched it for me was the article in TopBike last year where the TA and 650 were compared, and the 650 won on almost all counts. Thanks anyway, Jurgen

The price has been reduced from R45k to R40k, so (almost) no room for movement there anymore. Pendoring has first option currently. Will confirm with him soon if he takes it or not.

Hi Masai, I see you are riding a 1150GS if your profile is up to date. So, do you speak from experience regarding the cost? I am not trying to be funny, I really want to know. The AT needs to be serviced every 5000kms, and the Beemer every 10000km, although the Beemer has to be done by the...

Hey Tontel, the thought has crossed my mind, but the AT is too big and heavy for me, and the new 800cc GS is a beauty as well. Hopefully just right. Thanks for the reminder anyway.

Front tire also still good.

Rear tire and Honda x-hors.

The clocks to confirm the mileage.

I am selling my 1998 Africa Twin. It has just turned 49000km on Friday (13/3). I bought the bike in November 2007. There is no full service history, although I can supply you with all the invoices for all the work I had done on the bike. This includes stuff like having the clutch replaced...

So moet 'n man mos naam maak!

So, wie is die ou in die Kaap wat so goed is met Africa Twins?

I passed my licence test in December 2008 in Mooreesburg. Made the booking at end of October. They have a good new test track and very friendly staff. They are willing to help people from the congested testing centres like Bellville and Cape Town, but only for motorcycle licences, not cars. I...

Thanks to all for the warm welcome! Looking forward to riding with you guys.. O, forgot to mention, my real name is Jurgen Blignaut. Thanks again. ;)

Hi all, I am a complete novice to bikes. Rode some friends bikes years ago, and the desire lingered... So, bought a Africa Twin a while ago, got my learners, and now I am riding my own bike for the firs time in my life. I am 47, happily married, have two kids and live in the Strand. I can do...
