Just reading this now. Thanks for the high praise. Next time I'll try to be more anal about making a kak in the bush. :-) Sent from my SM-N950U1 using Tapatalk

What a lekker trip down memory lane. I'm so happy to hear that you were welcomed by the hotel staff. Cool story.  Well done @Damaraland. For anyone interested, here is the link to our ride report with many pics of endless sand dunes... https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=253677.180...

I've read someone else reporting this issue on some other forum. I forget where. The guy built a plastic frame protector to prevent damage... Sorry I can't be of more help. Sent from my SM-N950U1 using Tapatalk

I agree completely, Hardy. I have owned 4 of them and my wife and I just completed 50000km around South America on 2 of them. I even built a Honda Tornado website especially for us English speakers here: https://xr250tornado.wordpress.com/ I've gathered lots of info on mods etc and posted...

And thanks to you two, BoskakBruce is now my official forum name! Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk

Thanks for being so willing to share your advice on the area so freely and please thank your wife for the border situation reports. I will definitely be back, next time with my wife, and we will definitely look you guys up. Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk

Hi OomD. Yes, I have Tubliss on my  Husky 300. It's great for enduro, but is not designed for long distance high speed riding. The system heats up and can fail. Also, on a long distance trip, I'd still have to carry tubes in case of a Tubliss failure (of which I've had a few). Tubes are just a...

Thanks Chris! Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk

Thanks man. I'm never using UHD tubes again - mostly becasue of how much they throw out the wheel balancing and becasue of what a pain in the *** they are to remove and install. For my Namakwa trip, I bought some Michelin Enduro 2mm tubes. The bike felt a lot better. I recently had the wheels...

I'm selling my beloved blue baby - die Blou Vark. Our love affair has come to an end as I've fallen in love with a younger Austrian woman of the orange variety. Die Blou Vark is no ordinary KLR650. She's the baddest KLR you've ever seen. She's been rebored to 685cc and positively growls...

The seat was a winner. The only thing I would have changed was to make the foam a little softer. I had asked Flying Brick to tell their guy to use a harder foam so that the "wings" of the seat don't flop. He did use a harder foam, but it was a bit too hard for my ***. Also, don't get a seat...

Pleasure, Mark. Glad you dug it Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk

Just do it! You will not regret it. I've had more grins on smaller bikes than I ever had in bigger bikes. IMO, the only things that big bikes do better are speed, comfort and distance. Offroad, I'm never going more than 100km/h, so I don't need speed. With a soft seat, the 500 is comfortable...

Makes me happy to read that. Glad you enjoyed it. Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk

Man, that's cool. Well done.

It's my pleasure. Agreed. It's a special place, but how long will it remain so untouched?

Sure. Here are the tracks. I'm in Cape Town at the moment, but don't have a ton of time becasue I'm here with family. However, if you're willing to come to Hout Bay, I'm sure I can persuade Jan Lucas and Marc to join us for coffee or a beer.

This was the best motorcycle trip I have done in my 30 years of riding motorcycles. Nothing compares to Kaokoland. If you haven’t been, go. Go now, while the sand is still virgin (post-lockdown) and the hotels are cheap. If you’ve read this far, thank you for coming on this journey with me...

We arrive in Cape Town at 9:30pm – just in time for my 10pm conference call with 30 of my clients. How I led that 2-hour call, I don’t know. I could barely keep my eyes open. I sleep like the dead.
