    Soft versus hard suspension in soft sand

    Reading what Patrol has done I need to mention that I never deflate for sand. Since I do not know what is lurking underneath sand I just bite the bullet. So yes, the "sand dance" is more of a "break dance". Perhaps the answer to my surprise with the DR's soft suspension has revealed itself...

    Soft versus hard suspension in soft sand

    To all who are interested, I went to Legends, Pta Eastish today to try my 'Porky' (DR650 from Langebaan) on sand tracks. Flippen hell besides my 'unskilled wobbling' on occasions, Porky dealt with sand without being fazed. I suspect and thus, am wondering whether besides riding skills, a softer...

    NUMBER PLATE TO PERSONAL SPEC

    I hope I can find a reference (s) of plate-makers who will make a number plate to spec.... slightly smaller than the approved minimum. I can't fit the Gauteng minimum square plate on my DR.... dammm I reside close to Pretoria and the East Rand. For that matter, Gauteng is tiny so 'I'll go...

    DR650 RUBBER MOUNTED FOOT PEGS

    I am considering to fit wider foot pegs on my DR650. I want to feel 'solid' on the pegs. Factor two is the rubber mounting. What are the pros and cons? Should I go for solid fitment? Dammm excessive vibration transfer through legs might be uncomfy on long distance travel. Any real life advice...

    KNEE BRACES-YES OR NO?

    Janneman tydens my modderpad crash is ek padaf geslinger en het tussen klippe ingeval. My onderbene het ten spyte van metalized jeans steeds skaafwonde opgedoen. En dan het my cheapy boots f-ol gehelp nie. My regter enkel het 'n shot gekry. Ek het dadelik vir my ordentlike (hopelik) Gaerne boots...

    KNEE BRACES-YES OR NO?

    I immediate search for knee braces and I note ambiguity in the market place. The jargon, knee pads, knee guards and knee braces are used almost at random. Please provide a few product names + "codes/series" which are BRACES per se. For example, what is the Leatt Dual Axis Knee/Shin protectors...

    KNEE BRACES-YES OR NO?

    Let me begin by thanking all for the insightfull inputs. With regards to the "broek" I wear.... I only wear metalized jeans. However, since bike broeke (which ever you choose) do not fit like scuba gear, they all shift about. So I find built-in pads all over during a crash accept where I need...

    KNEE BRACES-YES OR NO?

    Opinions will be appreciated. I am an extreme skinny guy. Minder as net "vel en been"..... virtually "net been". So bone fractures might await me in future. At my age I guess that over protection cannot be viewed as an overkill.... die Oros-mannetjie kannie seer kry nie. So, should I or should I...

    DR650:LANGEBAAN TO BASHEWA

    Hi Mitch the rack with side support for soft luggage is a DIY set-up. Got it with the DR on purchase. It carried the Oxford combo well. On return home I had the tail luggage rack reinforced for better load balancing. I will also fit my DIY soft side bag supports. If you wish to see pics of my...
