Damn.....

I know it says Off Road Use Only - and clearly - but does that mean it cannot be registered for road use? Or just that this one hasnt been or cant? I like a challenge - and this seems like a cheap enough challenge?

Welcome! Post pics of the 500.....

@AdvGramps - could you tell us what the map subscription costs? I am running a Oukitel WP20 with a slightly smaller 5.9" screen, but great brightness & clarity - keen to look into the DMD2 a little more....

Shell Helix HX7 - this is a car oil - for petrol & diesel engines - surely one should not be using this in a wet-clutch.....? Or is it suitable......? And I dont know the answer - other than I would use motorcycle specific oil, no friction modifiers.....?

Jurre that Gronpad ABS worked well!!!

OK.... MX Pants all go IN the boot - but Adv pants generally go over the boots - generally... Plenty of over-boot options if you look around - Adv pants are generally more expensive than MX pants, but often (mostly) have CE protection pads built into them (pockets sewn in the knees & hips) Knee...

Fok, thats pretty! I am aiming my needs tthis way....

Niks jokes - daai 2.2 Turbo Diesel kan n 20ton sleepwa lekker trek - tot & met 120 toe - niks daarna - met of sonder die treiler - so jy moet gemaklik wees met jou eie geselskap, met die aircon, en n yskas vold Cokes & Stoney - en ja, ek het die onodige passasiers sitplek uitgehaal, en my...

Oh - and its engine parts for a customer up there..... Long drive, but still cheaper than trying to air-freight 600kg to Swakop....

Cheers - also say that, I am assuming they accept credit and debit cards - I will take a chance if I go - still an "if" at this stage.... Thanks @Slainte Mhaith - what I assumed

Morning - any ideas on costs to basically drive through Botswana? Potentially need to do a delivery to Swakopmund, Namibia - but on the way back, empty bakkie, so I can potentially come home via Botswana, being shorter distance... There will be a TIP, Road Tax, all the usual - but do these...

Morning Canzius, If thats a loose part - take it to an engineering shop on your lunch break, get them to grind the captive nut off of the back and weld a new nut on - temporary solution until the new part arrives?

@Bubby had a Safari tank for a 690 acting as a garage wall ornament for some time - maybe even 2 - maybe the stars align and these are the right ones....

I have a mate down in CT, his son was looking for something similar, wants to start on tar, with the view to head to more gravel as he gets experience - in the end bought a KTM 390Adv

Good route if you have never been before - distances, dont look at more than 350/400km a day max - roads are slower there than here, and you will want to stop and look at stuff - try and leave by 9am to get your day in, trust me! I did a similar (although much longer, we went far North as well)...

Ja - I was there 2 weeks ago, paid for everything with a debit card - fuel, food, accommodation - filled up at Ariamsvlei (border), Keetmanshooop, Kalkrand, couple of places in Windhoek, Mariental, Swakopmund, stayed in Keetmas, Mariental, Swakop - never touched a credit card. I tried...

Should do - the WP20 is 8.5 x 16.5cm - and the holder expands a little more than that. @TransAlpie PM sent......

There we go - actually 300km shorter - i think I was looking at Rietfontein being the 200km distance, now that I think about it..... Anyway, the fact is that its just so different to anything in SA, (except maybe the Kalahari) - I saw flat-lands full of grass, mountains, red sand, and whit...

This is the appeal for me - I think I dont really like people, so a lot of nothing kinda suits me.... Last week I was in Namibia - driving under 100kmh - I drove for 300km on a tar raod and the only cars that passed me were in the last 10km - was great!! Oh - I saw 30 new GS1300Adv on a...
