    DR650:LANGEBAAN TO BASHEWA

    The rack combo is a self-made set-up which the seller fitted. It carried an Oxford soft tail bag+side bags well. However, I had the tail luggage rack reinforced and I will fit only soft luggage support for my larger ATG side bags. If you contact me on 064 654 7285 I can send you pics to show...

    DR 650 FRONT SUSPENSION

    I am considering to have my Dr's front suspension 'rebuilt'... if that is the correct jargon. Please post your good advice on what I should consider. Also a Pretoria'sh reference to a 'specialist' will be appreciated. I will do a sand riding test at Legends this week to decide.

    DR650:LANGEBAAN TO BASHEWA

    Hi Grunder I am considering exactly that. No need for SASSA at this stage. 🤣😂

    DR650:LANGEBAAN TO BASHEWA

    Yes Ruffian I am on three bikes now. The AT, the DR and a WR450F. The advice from so many at the WARR settled into my skull. So depending on the terrain I decide on the bike. WR mainly for skills development and 'kakkies' stuff. 👍👍

    DR650:LANGEBAAN TO BASHEWA

    Hi Ri or anyone else in the know. The clutch safety switch for start up surprised me. My 'know nothing of bikes' shone through. But tell me, can the cluth with regards to the gearbox per se be adjusted for 2-fingers clutch control whilst riding??

    The tough choice: DR650 or XR650L

    Jimmi thanx a zillion for selling that bike to me. Porky toke the trip in a breeze. I'll take Porky to Off Road Cycles for the head bearing and a carb tune due to Porky being high up from sea level.

    DR650:LANGEBAAN TO BASHEWA

    I picked up Porky (DR650) at Syd's place on Wednesday and the two of us slept over at Frankie's spot, Langebaan. Thursday the ride snaked via Hopefield, Riebeek Wes, Riebeeck Kasteel, Ceres, Theronsbergpas to Touwsrivier. Rain from Riebeeck Wes without reën-protection. Day 1 ended at Beaufort...

    The tough choice: DR650 or XR650L

    I am flying down 'naked' so cell phone pics my only option. Hope the dirt between Clanwillian and Calvinia has not been destroyed. Also Carnavon to Prieska can be 'snot glad' if wet. So I have route A in mind as well as route B.

    The tough choice: DR650 or XR650L

    To all in the 'pack' I bark happily for all the good advice and knowledgeable debate. I got a DR... paid and ready to collect, sooo I'm flying CT on Tuesday, 18th. Hitching a lift to Langebaan. By Thursday morning the wheels will roll back to GP via bits & pieces of tankwa and northern Cape. 👍👍👍

    The tough choice: DR650 or XR650L

    That's clarity like to the point. Thanx a zillion. Any specific issues with a 2006 model.... besides treatment by previous owners? Any bike can be '***** and abused'. So any issues from the assembly line during the early 2000's?

    The tough choice: DR650 or XR650L

    Besides cult value which might be the only distinction.... what other rationale puts the DR650 the better choice over the XR650L? Or vice versa? Furthermore, is there a year range which draws a distinction. I have interest in a DR650 2006 with 'mature' mileage i.e. approx 40 000 km (😂😂 mileage =...

    Hela Hela Pass

    Hi PulOnic I'll confirm via whatsapp, hopefully by coming Tuesday. There is a chance that Grim from Himeville might, might just, just be available. Work schedule to be confirmed. Secondly, I did the 'overeager' thing to go to Legends (former Rhino Park) yesterday. **** I suffered something in my...

    Yamaha T7 - No longer a Concept

    A potty you are so far away. Dion Korkie can sort that seat out. His, 'Korkie rebuilts' (my jargon) are amazing. If you need his number with say, Courier Guy' as inbetweener you can resolve. Let me know.

    Hela Hela Pass

    From what I see, I (me that is) should not do the Ongeluksnek pass on my AT. My skills on such a heavy bike simply cannot dare that. I will plan that 4 sure but on my Popeye (WR450F). So I am looking for scenic and easier passable routes on my AT. 👍👍

    Hela Hela Pass

    Clive thank you for that clarity. Yes travelling 'farrish' for just another dirt road would be a waste. Do you have knowledge of the Mzintlava pass. From Flagstaff to Lusikisiki?

    Hela Hela Pass

    Preliminary planning. To arrive in Himeville or Underberg on Monday, 17 April 2023. Tuesday, 18th through to Donnybrook and via the Hela Hela Pass to Richmond and back again, same day. Hence, riding Hela Hela in both directions. Looking for riding buddy from Himeville/Underberg area to join me...
