Apologies for reviving an old thread. Currently BMW is smoking me. R520pm for my 2007 x country. Queried this. Best offer: R500! I understood why the premium started high for me: I just started riding and was under the age of 25, but that was 4 years ago when I paid like R380pm this year it...

I stay away from the pass this time of the year. I love doing the loop through F/hoek, Botrivier then back along the coast. The guys on the superbikes are insane, some probably gunning it at 300km/h between the pass and the dam. My brother almost toppled over the cliff and I've had too many...

Thanks guys. Will go shopping the weekend. Will let you know if I don't manage Lecap.

Hi peeps I am looking for an oil return hose or a way to fix my current one which is leaking quite badly. I tried contacting a few places, so far only Donford can import me one to land in January. This is an example of the hose I'm talking about. Thanks  :thumleft: Update: The guys at...

Have also put on a few thousand km on my 07s. But I run them on 1.8b front and rear. Myself and the bike probably total around 230kg. Haven't spotted any major wear issues.  :peepwall:

Watse koerant? Ons was seker die laaste group bikers voor die brand, en daar was 'n ou van so 19 jaar daar...  :sip:

Ek bly maar weg daar op 'n Sondag, te veel traffic.

I've only had good service from Donford. Can't say a single bad thing about them. The same with Helderberg Yamaha at Somerset Mall. Always friendly and willing to help. Now if only KTM would open shop in the winelands. :thumleft:

:laughing4: :thumleft:

Bit heavy though? I want that ccm 450 more each time I see it!

I enjoy the solo trip, bit of a loner myself. Fixing a puncture should be fine, but I know sweet boggerol about mechanics or electronics. If something breaks I'm farked :P Not too scared about the fall, I tend to ride well within my limits and if it gets too tough or risky I don't mind turning...

That's pretty grim.  :P

This is such a sorted bike, I really I want one. :>

My mate does that on his XR125.  Legs to the front, lying back somewhat and no hands on the throttle. :D

I got one of the first ones. I haven't used it yet as it does not really fit my x country and the clips are of very questionable quality. Looks like there are using better ones now. It was cheap back then, so I don't mind too much. I should probably just sell it and get a new iteration. :P

Dunno, it always puts a smile on my face the motard guys. When I ride the coastal road between Betties and Gordons Bay, the superbikes go faster than they should, the harleys are holding up the traffic, the adventure riders are just taking in the views and overtaking when they can, and the...

I want to this mod: https://mattsnook.com/bmw/bmwXCountry/Bags/index.htm But I only found silicone pads rated up to 230C. What temperature does the standard silencer get to? Will 230C be enough?

Thanks! I recharged it again. Its working so far. Just don't hope it dies while I go on a trip. 

So left my light on for 15 minutes a couple of weeks ago. Was unable to start bike, battery flat. Charged it overnight. And everything is hunky dory. Commute with it every day, but I only live 1.3km from my office :P So this morning I could not get it to start again, battery seems flat again...
