    I just bought two broken BMW GS bikes at auction and already love them!

    Lekker Heron. Net om te sê my vrou is ook 'n fan van jou eerste GS video. Sy sê jy verduidelik so goed dat selfs sy 'n BMW sal kan regmaak😏😏 Oor hoe jy jou vrou vra sê sy ook Mmmm. Sy hou blykbaar nie van die "its easier to ask for permisson than forgiveness - act accordingly" metode nie.

    A day in the workshop ...

    I have seen some serious chain abuse. Once there was a delivery rider on a chinese 150 with a slipping front sprocket riding north on the West Coast Road. An hour later I found the same fool riding south, with engine revving and sprocket slipping merrily at 30km/h. Chains are really tough, but...

    Cam Wear. Any examples in SA?

    Nice video on cam wear. This is Derek from Vice Grip Garage stripping down a small block V8 but you will get the drift... Watch from 32min.

    Die Hel current conditions

    It looks like the whole of Oudtshoorn has been flooded the last few days, with many roads closed, including the Swartberg pass. Has anyone been over the pass, or down to Gamkaskloof and back?

    Fork seal cleaning...

    Problem is that you don't see the grime in there until it is too late. I speak from experience. I have since fitted shock socks to protect the shiny bits and seals from grime. Some swear by it, and the mechanics makes logical sense.

    Thanks Heimer. If the road to the shop is good, it means that they are open for business!

    Die Hel current conditions

    Has anyone been down to Die Hel of late? I hear that the road has been washed away? We are planning to go down with dirt bikes in 3 weeks time - towards end of June and want to know whether we will be able to get beer and lunch down there😏

    Guess who I just bumped into ?...............Noraly

    She did the Kalahari and Baja rallies, so any roadie posing as dual sport bike with a 19" front is out. She liked the KTM350 Enduro, but it is not suitable for what she does. She does not care for too much power. I would almost say that a CRF300L with KTM suspension would do the trick...

    Guess who I just bumped into ?...............Noraly

    She says that there will be a season 8, with big surprises - wonder when she will be riding China! Honda has served her very well. 80K+ km on a CRF300L is not to be sneezed at. Repair work on the bike were all self inflicted, so the 300 did really well. I wonder what bike she will choose next?

    Most reliable motorcycle brand?

    Wonder what is the most reliable dirt bike? Dirt bikes are renowned for their high maintenance. I just wonder if something like the CRF450R is more reliable than its stable mates from KTM, GasGas, Husqvarna etc.
