Nou hoe nou gemaak met automatiese diesels? As ek my X5 soos 'n witman ry rev hy nooit oor 2000 nie. Bult op en bult af. Daardie 50D het soveel krag hy loop orals teen onder 2000 rpm. Nou moet ek hom in sportmode sit en die k@k uith hom rev of wat?

These initial charging problems are only tandkry probleme, they will be sorted soon. Every new tech needs other methods, as with my solar installation, it takes a few months to get used to the new parameters, but once sorted there is no looking back. Charging stations will become more plentiful...

Oom D, geniet die "honeymoon phase" dit sal ook minder word, maar versnelling raak nooit oud nie! Geniet!

The thing with EV is that if it makes power it is all available from the very start. With an ICE vehicle they quote the max power or torque and that is on top of the curve, so while ICE builds up to the max power the EV has it from the word go. My modded XT Forester got shown a clear set of...

Yeah she was an instructor at ADA as well. Taught me a thing or 2.

About 20 years ago I was flying home for Sao Paolo, Brazil, and in the middle of the night went to the bathroom and found a bulging wallet on the floor. I picked it up and went through it, it had several thousand dollars and also a considerable amount of Rands in, also a country club card of a...

All of us that rode fast bikes in our youth are the lucky ones. (At the time we thought we were very skillful) and crashes happened to the okes who could not ride as well as us. I lost several friends and saw plenty accidents, especially at trackdays at Kyalami. We did breakfast runs, went to...

Meeste ou karre ry kak as jy hulle met moderne motors vergelyk. Die tegnologie was nog nie daar nie, so die mense wat baie betaal vir ou karre jaag nostalgie na. Dieselfde met motorfietse. Daai ou Hondas se remme was horing, hantering was dubbel horing maar mense wat hulle nou begeer sal hulle...

Here is the ride report, if anyone was wondering which is the worst pass in the world. This should remove all doubt. Sani...huh...childsplay! https://wilddog.net.za/threads/breedtsnek-we-were-not-thinking-straight.231202/

Second only to the much feared Breedtsnek!

About 5 years ago I also thought that a trails bike will help me with my slow speed technical stuff, and was looking around, when Xpat said I can borrow his one, it was a Beta 280 factory if I remember correctly. It was parked under a tarpaulin, not ridden in a few years, so I changed all the...

Mark Taylor, aka Just Blip it, aka The Sadist, has my full respect as far as riding in Swaziland goes, I saw first hand how he effortlessly handles that heavy bike over the gnarliest terrain and then we struggle behind him with bikes weighing 100 kilos less. Some of my best biking memories were...

Some 20 years ago my wife and myself were driving from Cape Town to Gauteng at night, I got very tired, pulled off at an old railway station with an overgrown parking lot, parked with the car half in some tall grass. Slept like a baby for a few hours, woke up and saw the car in the grass...

Look, when you buy a vehicle from WBC you need to do your due diligence, check the Dekra report for what it is worth, take the vin number to BMW and see what they can tell you in respect of service history, recalls done etc, go over the vehicle with a knowledgeable person so you can pick up...

There are many dangers out there, bees, wasps, and those unidentified large beetles that you are grateful did not smack you in the eye as it would certainly cause loss of an eye. But wearing a helmet is non-negotiable, when I did track days at Kyalami, every time I ran out of talent and came...

3kw is not going to cut it for an EV, maybe for scooters with small batteries, but EV's are more in the 18kw range.

Xpat and myself were on one of our unforgettable adventures to go ride a dunefield he found in Botswana on Google maps. He was on his 690 and I was on my trusty Husky 610. A few km's before Bray my bike seized. As I stood next to the sandy gravel road, all the oil pissed out of my engine, it...

I have seen those moose balls in overseas mags, not sure if they are available here yet, but that would be the business, just carry a few spare balls if any of them go south.

They are great bags, and tough too, can take a good tumble and survive. Just make some decent brackets to tie it to on your bike.

Cansius nou moet jy net 'n Rottweiler airfilter en jet kit insit. Paul Fawkes (Tito RIP) het myne ingesit en hom vir 'n spin gevat, toe hy terugkom dink ek hy het vir 'n week lank gesmile! Myne het spontaan in 2de gewheelie as jy hom oopmaak. Seker 20% meer krag! DAN is dit 'n bike soos geen...
