    2024 Turkana Safari Challenge

    They accept screen grabs of phone tracking apps like Google Maps or Rever, etc. that show your route and then you support that by posting on a dedicated WhatsApp group pics of you, your bike and your entrant number to show that you were there at that location. My mate and I are really getting...

    New Sani border fee

    I toured in Lesotho many times and every time I have been there we have been robbed. It is a nation of thieves. Going up Sani and having a cappuccino at the lodge at the top and then going back down again is fun. Touring in Lesotho is definitely not, based on my own personal experiences.

    Pillion on F800GSA

    We tried with my wife standing on the pillion pegs with me when I stood, but it isn't an option for her. She is short and very petite and is unable to stand on the standard footpegs and get her legs around the GSA's tank. To be honest there is no difference to me between riding with full...

    Bike Kings on fire….🔥🔥

    Suzuki Boksburg is literally a kilometre from the Boksburg Fire Station. That fire must have spread extremely quickly, or the call to the Fire Station must have been much delayed for it not to have been able to be extinguished before all that damage happened.

    Saturday morning assh*le

    I took your advice and applied the filter. I have no doubt that it will make my WD experience a lot more pleasant.

    Oil Change - Hot or Cold Engine

    OK, but by doing this, you have now starved the oil pump of oil and emptied the galleries. If you do that, then after you have refilled the sump and fitted a new oil filter (filled with new oil), it's vital that you also then crank the engine with the plug leads off until you have reprimed the...

    Nasty crash in the Eastern Cape

    I have noticed something else in the video that no-one else has commented on. Two trucks are following each other with an acceptable gap between them. There is enough room there for an overtaking vehicle to overtake one truck and then duck into the gap. A bike and a car both illegally overtake...

    Stolen F800GS, Pretoria

    But if it takes the owner two minutes to remove the cover, wouldn't it take the thief roughly the same? He has all night. Am I missing something?

    Cardo (or other comms) question

    I have the Cardo Freecom 2X. My wife and I can chat while we ride which keeps her happier, otherwise she has to stare at the back of my helmet or look sideways for hours and she gets bored. A bored wife is not a happy pillion rider. I can also listen to MP3 music stored on my phone, or the...

    Does oil expire?

    Sell-by dates were invented by US retailers so that they can return "old" stock to their suppliers for exchange with "fresh" stock at no expense. There are many examples of how ludicrous this idea is, million-year-old salt and mineral engine oil being just two of them.
