    Journey to GS Trophy 2024 - Namibia

    Lekker, dankie vir die deel. Vertel meer oor hoekom jy sê die 800 ‘n nadeel was?

    Wanted Looking for - R120k budget

    There are some nice 800gs adventures around for that price. Fully loaded with panniers etc. But if you are not keen on the Triumph offering, the 800 may not be your cuppa either. I am biased when it comes to the 800 range.

    Don’t worry, it’s not you making a fuss.

    800GS cutting out on idle

    Well, if the throttle is completely closed, no air will be let into the system to help with combustion. so It may be a small adjustment ( like setting the Idle screw on a carb)

    800GS cutting out on idle

    Sounds like fuel starvation. However, the fact that it starts afterwards and runs, may point to something else. Perhaps TPS?

    There's a hole in the road.

    Am I missing something in the math? Excel Takasago rim R3800 (19 inch) Spokes R 2100 the worlds most expensive wheelbuilder to make up the balance to get close to R19k? Perhaps the stealerships will earn this name, If they quote only slightly less for a rim, spokes and labour to lace a wheel.

    Open or closed helmet visor... that is the question

    Depends for me on the helmet, my Uvex did not have the best airflow ( lekker in winter) so I would ride with the visor open with sunglasses mostly. The Bell I have at the moment has great ventilation, so I can ride with the visor closed for longer. Then there is the feeling of the wind on...

    There's a hole in the road.

    The difference is on the repair cost. A rim is significantly cheaper than a whole wheel.

    GPS or Tablet?

    It can, as one of the activities, the activites are recorded as “cycling, running, skiing, etc etc. There is no motorcycling option. Of course no one is stopping you from recording as a cyclist for tracking purposes. you can log into garmin connect, and download the gdb or tcx file (iirc) this...

    GPS or Tablet?

    Maps.me Riser ( cardo helped develop this app, trying to be like strava, but for motorcycles. ) IMaps.me, was not great in my opinion as I cant read the screen without my reading glasses. The UX is also not intuitive for this 76er. my Iphone SE does not have the biggest screen. I have...

    Thanks, it’s the best colour. My previous bike, I put 100k kms of which less than 10k kms was used for leisure. My plan with this bike was to use it for what it was intended for. Concerted efforts going into planning and doing trips ( even unplanned ones)

    GP&NW

    Cabin Fever is a thing. We have had a very successful Christmas, New years is incoming, and being stuck in GP has me less than thrilled by being stuck at home. I say stuck, as we are for the umpteenth year, not going away for December. I decided, for my own sanity, and the prosperity of my...
