Bwana and others not having the facts correct. The 2018 KTM 690 R Enduro provides 49Kw power with a dry weight of 140kg. Wet, with full tank of 12 liters and oil, less than 155kg. Only about 25 - 30kg more than a typical 500 / 450 dry weight. As mentioned before it is not a hardcore enduro...

I cannot agree more re 690. I have just completed a 16,217 km trip doing the Wild Coast, EC, WC, West Coast and around Lesotho. I have done most of the gravel passes enroute. The only changes to the bike was a Seat Concept seat and when I got to CT I have had a long range tank fitted to give me...

Guys I  need to have my 690R swingarm fixed. It has a deep groove cut into it by a protruding bolt. Who in the Gauteng area is best to have this properly welded up again?

My beter helfte se nou net vir my dat ek nie duidelik was met die Dinsdag ryery nie. Indien enige belangstel om Dinsdag saam te ry, oor te slaap en Woensdag weer terug te ry is hulle welkom. Ek doen grondpaaie van Centurion sover moontlik.

@ Hondsekierie: Julle kan Vrydag tot op die plaas ry en daar slaap as julle wil. Ek ry Dinsdag deur en kom Woensdag terug. Ek ry dan weer Vrydag deur en kom Sondag terug. Laat my weet, julle is baie welkom

Guys, I am back from my trip thus should any want to do these roads my farm is available for a sleep over (no cost). I am on the Koster to Lichtenburg road. From there the Rosmincol road can be taken to Zeerust and peeling off to Marico, Swartrugggens and a host of other dirt roads between the...

No, but keen. Any suggestions?

Blackbird nice om jou en jou beter helfte te gesien het gisteraand. Ek probeer om 'n RR te skryf maar ek is nou nie juis 'n skrywer nie. Probeer dus om dit nie in my tipiese kort hand te doen nie maar om die feite en die ervaring deur te gee. Sal dalk maar my beter deel vra om te help.

Jammer man maar ek gee Addo 'n skip. Ek wou van Port Alfred daar om ry maar moes toe manne kry wat saam die Baviaans gedoen het. Die naaste wat ek weer in daardie gedeelte is sal Queenstown wees. Vandaar Hogsberg, Mazeepa, Coffee Bay, Tiffendell, ens.

Mooi Rooi, you're a good talker boy! I invited you but you had all sorts of excuses, i.e no bike, kids on rugby tour, no leave, etc. All those worker class excuses! Leave the work man, pensioners have a awesome time! No work worries, getting up/going to bed when you feel like it, scootering your...

2 more. This trip is something unbelievable! I am leaving the best photo's for the RR.

A couple more

Attach a couple photo's. Making notes and will do a RR later

Any out there that can suggest how I can reduce the size of my photo's to post on this site? These files are between 4 and 6 MB and the site only allows for 750kb

Did Baviaans, Prince Alfred, slept at Angies, did the Phantom and 7 passes road, slept at Dana Bay. Did The Hell, 7 weekspass, and others, currently at Witsand

Fitted an E07 on the rear. Sleeping in Jeffrey's, meeting some friends from Gauteng here and will be doing Baviaans tomorrow. Camping in the middle and riding out on Monday.

I am at Kenton on Sea at the moment. The Wildcoast was a blast! Must do that again! Maybe even return that way again! Tomorrow I need to do my rear tyre in PE. Apparently Auto Motorcycles in Heugh Rd is the best place? It took me 2,500 km and 8 days to get here. Will probably start with...

You need to be more specific regarding GHT area? I am a Ballie with no idea of what you are referring to?

.... 1 more sleep and my dream adventure starts. All packed, last final meets and greets with family and friends. Tomorrow 05h30 and I'll be leaving on my adventure!
