I'm not sure if this is entirely relevant here, but I still consciously thank Shane Hoskins (previously head of Atlantic Motorrad workshop) for the GS gear shifting pro tip he gave me after I moved from an 800gs to my first GSA: that one needs to help the boxer gearshift by holding your foot...

Dieselle het mos onlangs met my gebeur - ek het paar foto's gepost op 'n ander thread (https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=90808.20). Het al intussen paar ritte gehad en dit hou nog oraait. Een keer met pillion en dit plaas wel bietjie strain op die alu carrier frame veral as sy...

Great info here - thanks to all who contribute. I'm not sure if reading this is making me less or more nervous! Most of my nervousness also stems from having to cope with the novelty of the rb while navigating unknown terrain - at some sort of speed... In trying to calm myself a little, I did a...

'n Boer maak 'n plan! - en voer hom uit! Die prys vir 'n nuwe part is R4300 (eina) so dis die moeite werd om 'n dag in die workshop hiermee te fiddle. Ons het die eindpunte van die oorblywende deel uitgeboor (solid alu), en twee staal rods getaper om daarin te pas. Dit ingebond met pratley steel...

Het enigiemand 'n oplossing/replacement vir die carrier frame? Myne heeltemaal af aan albei kante. Ek hou van die Wunderlich luggage rack - maar dis bo en behalwe die carrier frame wat nog steeds vervang/herstel moet word... Lyk my dis alu welding vanmiddag ... het enigiemand pointers oor...

Geen bokke nie! Is maar 'n nickname van my dae toe ek in Bokkemanskloof in Houtbaai gewoon het. Of miskien 'n verwysing na hoe ons paadjies hier rondom Montagu beklouter met ons bikes  :ricky:

Jis, almal. Ek het nie gedink hierdie is die regte thread vir intro's nie, maar nou reageer ek op die uitnodiging :) My naam is Tian van Heerden, woonagtig op Montagu sedert die begin van die jaar. Dis great bike country - soos baie van julle weet, ek's seker - en ek het al 'n paar nice trails...

Ek en my pillion speel bietjie op Houtbaai se duine...toevallig was die ou wat ek gevra het om die fliek te maak toe sommer die "director of photography" van die bekende movie "Tsotsi"! Jammer ons het nie 'n Oscar-toekenning vir ons performance gekry nie  :biggrin...

Great! Transaksie beklink! Dankie, almal. Dit was nou maklik  :) Terwyl ek nou op 'n lucky streak is wat van hierdie ene: my sub-frame heel agter waarop die remlig ens. sit is ook in sy maai - albei pypies afgebreek. Ek het voorheen op die farkle thread opgemerk daar was 'n bespreking hieroor...

Hey ouens, ek lees hier gerugte van ouens met "bokse en bokse" hp2 parte  ... en kom staan nou hier hoed-innie-hand opsoek na 'n sidestand "bearing block". Dis nou die snaakse shaped/machined part wat aan die raam vasbolt met twee bolts na buite aan die footpeg kant en nog 'n bout na vore, en...

OK this photo is of the very first time we rode the HP2 pillion and were still experimenting with our riding position. I think you can see on the photo how very much higher the pillion pegs (only available as an after-market item on the HP2) are than the rider pegs - this played havoc with our...

Hey guys, Tian here (of "Tian and Janetta" fame  8) I am privileged to have a brilliant pillion and we ride well together. I realise your main concern (for now!) is about on-road pillion riding and, whereas Janetta and I prefer and really enjoy offroad riding, we obviously also do a fair amount...

Sounds to me they should just provide an external jack to plug it into the Honda? Simple engineering ;D Does that unit come with a remote control?  >:D Sterkte, Abie! Hoop jy's gou weer op die stofpaaie saam met ons. Groete van Tian en Janetta  :thumleft:

Me too! The holes didn't bother me too much - but all those broken bottles! I'm amazed we didn't have some shredded tyres.

Goeie idee - in die eerste qualifier was ek eers bok om 'n goeie tyd te kry, na so paar km se dik sand was dit om 'n redelike tyd te kry, en nog so bietjie later om net klaar te maak ... en op 'n sekere punt daar in die woesterny noord van Atlantis toe die son direk bo my kop vasgehaak het en...

Son, the spelling is "******".  :bueller: And don't you ever call me that again!

Oh no! You had to start the RR with pictures of my most embarrassing moment! A big thank you to the photogs who picked my bike up. When I came over the rise and saw all those ruts and several photographers lined up ... I knew there was trouble coming! These pics don't show the stump I hit just...

Pleased to say this beaut has found a new home in Cape Town aka Biker Heaven. :drif: :mwink: :thumleft: :D ;D :biggrin: :ricky: >:D

It does indeed. There are pics on gumtree - but don't get too excited, I've got first dibs on it! Just waiting for my 800's insurance payout to be finalised... https://capetown.gumtree.co.za/c-Cars-Vehicles-Motorbikes-Parts-scooters-motorcycles-motorbikes-BMW-HP2-1200-GS-W0QQAdIdZ269356599

Howdy, I'm the hp2-dad-to-be :) What I know of this bike: now with second owner, a stock broker who lives an international jet-setter life and only partially based in Cape Town, don't think I can mention his name online but he also cycles a lot and has shoulder problems :) Looks like the hp...
