OH FARK . Mistake

My July is pretty busy , first weekend off to Mosselbay for a visit . and then the long weekend we doing the Polar bear run to Lesotho . Sort of cant wait , want to start packing my bags for Mosselbay and the top box for the bike trip . Exited big time , Not sure if its just me , but I look...

Being ahead of traffic is in most cases the safest place to be , Many of us disobey /disregard barrier lines and overtake cars& trucks when we are not supposed to do so . If you have never done so you in a minority . In this case it was pure pilot error , He came down the hill at speed , doing...

Not sure if there is such a thing as the MILLION KILO CLUB , but was thinking of how many kilos I have done over the last 44 years of biking and with a bit of calculation I am sure I have done over a million kilos . Sounds impossible but calculations work out to around 60 a day . I commute 75...

TIME & PETIENCE ,

Guys , getting the chain lube off the rim is not the issue , What is , is that the rims are plated /anodised and from using a degreaser . mild one , has left cloudy stains on the rim . I was looking for advise on how to take the rim from dull to shiny. I did use a rim wax , did little , WD40...

I do remove the excess chain lube , but we all know that when the chain heats up lube get flung onto the rim and spokes , it just happens , I will try the Mr min and WD 40 options . I have a tub of wheel wax , but does not seem to work as well , and being anodized chances are that anything with...

I have to ask , Our bikes come with black rims , and I like to keep them black and shiny , but with the chain lube that makes a mess on the rim and spokes , keeping them clean is a constant chore . I dont mind this , but buy using mild degreaser seems to attack the anodised coating on the rim ...

I still have both jackets for sale , can be collected in KEMPTON or RANDBURG . Would like to move the Apex jacket first , this is a nice piece of kit , fully waterproof with a water proof inner softshell jacket that can be worn on its own , A very nice 2 in 1 jacket for R 2250.00

Those muffs ( elephant ears) are nice at keeping the wind off , buy always concerned that if needed removing hands from the bars might not be as fast with these on as with out them . but from reviews they work very well . Ps i posted the review write up to serve as information as I found it...

Don't think they available here , as they expensive , start from about R1700 up to about R6000.00 . I was looking at a pair of KTM branded ALIPNE STAR winter gloves , they had a separate thermal liner glove , price was 4650.00 . Still thinking but just cant get myself to place the order .

Bryn Davies is on a mission to find a pair of gloves that will keep his hands warm and dry in this issue’s winter riding gloves review It seems that we spend hours upon hours contemplating and researching our next jacket, pair of pants or boots in an effort to make our riding experience that bit...

Check marketplace , couple there , but not cheap , still in for 10K for a set , not to bad as one is about that price .

TPS feature was disabled on my bike because it started malfunctioning , and an expensive exercise to repair / replace . so have to do it manually :cool:

Mostly front yes , but under inflation is the culprit and not braking . wish I saved the video to post here , but had a look at my adventure bike and my front tyre is wear like this , and I KNOW the tire does loose pressure , not a lot , but its down to 1.9 from 2.4 when I do re inflate it ...

I would think many of us is in the same boat when it comes to checking tire pressure , we ride often enough and would feel if the tire is under inflated , but only if reraly low , in most cases we ride and check sort of once a month maybe less . Watched a tyre video and the presenter explained...

This accident was really gruesome , the video was forwarded to me by a friend , dont know where he got it. I have the stomach to looks at things like this , not nice , but this accident does not make any sense , not that accidents do , the video shows where the bike possibly hit the armco first...

Forgot about the possibility of an animal , informal settlement on the left . dog in the main road . can have catastrophic results .

Accidents with loss of life is very sad for everybody concerned . Sharing the video was possibly done to make people aware of the dangers , still not a cool idea . I have had the chance to ride the Outeniqua pass a couple times , and must say I enjoy that pass , has some nice corners and some...

Final call to make up your mind to join a awesome adventure ! Trip is 6 odd weeks away , temps are dropping , but with the current heatwave in JHB one would be called a liar , but in the same breath snow has fallen in Lesotho already for this season . But seeing the enthusiasm of fellow dogs...
