    Wolvekraal wegbreek

    De Rust. Ek trek af en drink 'n koffie voor ek die Klein-Karoo groet. Meiringspoort is met reg bekend, en die kranse gly verby terwyl ek ou Bloutoon se voorwiel saggies deur die draai druk. Ek stop by die bekende Herrie klip. 'n Deeltjie van Langenhoven se nalenskap in steen verewig. En...

    Wolvekraal wegbreek

    Die lang vlakte oppad na Oudtshoorn is minder opwindend as die Huisrivierpas se kronkeldraaie, maar ek sit maar 'n bietjie musiek aan in die helmet en haak die spoedbeheer vas op 'n matige 120km/h. Teen die Groot-Swartberge begin die wolke skouers skuur. Ek glip die volstruishoofstad deur...

    Wolvekraal wegbreek

    Ek het al baie gewonder oor die verskeie pleknaamverwysings in Suid-Afrika na wolwe, aangesien hier nooit wolwe in die natuur voorgekom het nie. Moontlik was dit om te verwys na jakkalse of wilde honde of enige ander hond-agtige pes waarmee die oumense te doen gekry het. Maar dit nou daar...

    Karoo Ride

    Lamb chops to Lambo's... I must admit, you guys know how to do a proper bike trip. And then probably going back home and telling your wifes about all the dusty small towns and boring plains of the Karoo. :D;)(y)

    Noob from Ladismith

    Welkom Peacemaker! Lekker om jou hier te hê as mede-Ladismither, werkskollega en vriend. (y) Ek dink die manne gaan jou stories en foto's geniet asook jou wye veld van belangstelling van RC Planes tot mesmaker en alles tussen in.

    Karoo Ride

    "Chap from Ladismith on a 650 Dakar" is a work colleague of mine who joined our company a while back. I've mentioned that he should join WD's but don't think he realises what he's missing out on! :D

    Help: son wants scrambler, dad knows nothing

    My 2c... Unless he's already sorted, start with the proper riding gear. Been through a similar situation in the past year with my boys (13 & 15) with the 125L I've bought them. It's great fun but the protection part is normally the last thing on their minds and it needs to come from you (not...

    Kyk, 'n groot dam!

    Ek moet darem bieg, daar is myns insiens min mense wat so puik tweetalig kan skryf soos Dorsland...

    Wanderlust..........!!!

    Petri klim op jou mouterbike en ry. Ry net. Jy't alreeds te veel te ver vooruit beplan. Gaan trek jou oë 'n slag skrefies onder 'n doringboom in die Groot-Karoo terwyl jy aan 'n Kameeltjie teug. Dan stap mens mos gewoonlik so entjie weg en bekyk eers jou eie bike. Gaan proe 'n ander dorp se dop...

    Kyk, 'n groot dam!

    Nuwe Afrikaanse woord vir die dag: "gatsak" a.k.a. tail bag - Dankie! :D

    Voel regtig of mens moerse uitmis en eintlik nie sonder dié bike in jou lewe kan voortgaan nie! :D(y)

    Vehicle KM's - Low vs. high

    Oor juis daai kan ek mos klontjies kry. Eerste ryding wat ek uit die boks uit kon koop was die Corolla Cross wat ek tans ry. Oor die algemeen beskou ek myself as iemand wat sy goed oppas, ek werk immers hard vir dit. Linkerdeur het 'n krapmerk, regterdeur het twee krapmerke, buffer agter het...

    Vehicle KM's - Low vs. high

    Jip - that's the point/question I'm after, low KM should not always be the determining factor. Put differently: with Vehicle B's 70k used as example, over what KM will you rather start reconsidering Vehicle A? I guess this will vary with each vehicle/person and too many other factors to take...

    Vehicle KM's - Low vs. high

    Hahaha - nee niks (op die stadium) nie! :D Sommer iets waaroor ek al baie gewonder het.

    Vehicle KM's - Low vs. high

    Example if we only consider the engine: Two idendical vehicles, both 5 years old. Vehicle A: Has done 30,000km of daily commuting. Vehicle B: Has done 70,000km of long distance touring. Which engine is in better shape?

    Vehicle KM's - Low vs. high

    Something I've often wondered about is whether there's some form of apples-with-apples comparison between the engines of an older vehicle with low KM, versus a newer vehicle with more KM on the clock. In my view we often think that lower KM is better, but is it? Most wear & tear happens just...
