Borrowed money (I think R8000) and bought my first bike after I started working a year or so after matric, around '99/2000. Yamaha XS750 triple, late 70's model so already about 20+ years old at the time, but it was all I could afford back then. Was my pride and joy like you can't imagine...

My tent en stoeltjie sal nooit in 'n topbox pas nie (te lank). Persoonlik hou ek niks van die goed nie. 'n Tailbag werk lekker vir my met die noodsaaklikhede wat ek op enige trip wil hê, soos 'n pompie & puncture kit, medic kit, rol toiletpapier en 'n Leatherman. As jy op 'n trip gaan pak jou...

Dankie Chris - klink seker al afgesaag maar dêmmit dit was weereens 'n lekker trip! Dit was sommer goed vir my siel en gemoed ook en mens onderskat soms hoe lekker so change-of-scenery bonzai wegbreek kan wees. Ons het daai aand so lekker gesit en gesels om die vuur, paar lamstjoppies op die...

Het by Bike Kings gekoop.

Het ook onlangs 'n Acerbis Ramsey gekoop. Heel gaaf, maak net seker jy bestel die aparte back protector by EN dat dit die matching part is. Ek het my back protector verkeerd bestel maar kon gelukkig hom omruil met my winderbaadjie sin wat toevallig mooi pas. Size van die Ramsey sou ek sê is...

Probeer maar Maart. As Junie se koue en reën jou net sleg vang is daai pad nie jou maat nie.

Bridgestone Battlax Adventure AX41. On my second one (rear), I love them. Previous one gave more than 6000km without any punctures.

Also look into the Hella of sigaret plug (whichever you have) for a loose connection, as well as inside the end cap where the switch sits. Sometimes the wires might rub through or become loose. That end cap must also not be screwed in too deeply, years ago I had a problem where I turned the...

Sunday afternoon ride with my eldest - such a blessing to be able to share my love of motorcycles with my boys to go visit my parents. (The youngest took the bike on the way back home, they share the XR125 at the moment). Maybe for once in my life I should follow my dad's advice - get another...

In my view that way of fixing it with two single points on the bashplate side, with the force being up and down, creates a high bending load on the bolts. Is it not possible to change to a more saddle-like design (using 4 bolts in total)?

Late afternoon little tar loop to end off the weekend. Klein-Karoo, Ladismith.

Nou't ek ver en lekker saamgery, dankie Amos. Net een fout as ek mag kritiek lewer, jou rit was te kort. Ek wil nog lees.

"small town of George"... Hey that's our big city for shopping when coming from Ladismith! :ROFLMAO:

I did the tap-with-your-phone thing for a while, actually works great but once in a while for some reason it doesn't work, maybe network/loadshedding related? So I'm still not confident to leave the bank card at home, plus I carry my drivers licence, medical card, ID, etc in my wallet anyway, so...

OK so the next WD Bash will be in the Himalayas? Just kidding, but something like this will be awesome if we can get a few of us Dogs over there for some riding? Count me in.

The Nefdt's from Vleiland, west of Gamkaskloof, used to visit The Hell/Gamkaskloof via "Die Leer" quite frequently back in the day. Unless I'm mistaken it was a Nefdt who carried the first Dover coal stove on his shoulders down into the valley. Not sure if Oom Jorsie Nefdt is still alive in...

Interested. Will send PM during the morning. Edit: sorry didn't see the location. If this was in the WC things would've been different! Sorry, GLWTS.

With all those green one can easily mistake that area for that river crossing at Grootrivierpoort/Antoniesbergpas.

Thanks, it'll be the ultimate but just those service intervals, apparently every 10 hours or 1000km? I thought the 125's every 4000km was short!

Thanks yes that's another option if money allows! Getting something like a 250 or 300L so that the boys and I can all go ride together some gravel back roads, but it's also something I can enjoy when we get to the rougher stuff.
