    Violating the Virgin: turning my XR into an adventure bike

    I collected the aluminium sheet this morning. I’ll start transferring the measurements later this week. I also need to build my bending jig to create the centre line crease as per below. This is basically two pieces of flat bar with square rods welded to them as shown and placed into the...

    Big bikes long distance ?

    I’ve done Cape Town to Johannesburg in a day a few times on the 1200. On the 650 I most likely will not be able to walk after attempting that. Bigger bikes are smoother, less vibration, more weight/comfort, better wind protection. In short, much better for long distance

    Violating the Virgin: turning my XR into an adventure bike

    It’s been a while since I changed anything on the XR. The last few trips were great with everything working the way it should. One of the remaining items on my wish list is to change the headlight to an LED unit. A while back I found one for sale on Marketplace and it’s been in my drawer since...

    Career and life advice .

    There is no simple or short answer to your question and regrettably (with the limited information available) nobody can answer it but you. Some have given great advice and I would add that you want someone to speak with that you respect and trust but someone that will call you out when you're...

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

    After living in the UK for a while it is exactly what I would expect. Their NHS is not worth going to unless you simply wish to kill time.

    Most reliable motorcycle brand?

    BMW, Honda and Yamaha reports are from 2015 and I'm sure it is based on the response from all 11 000 Yamaha owners in the US.

    Drive shaft recall

    In my case they needed to drill the breather hole and inspected the shaft which needed replacement. All done for free.

    Cordless power tools

    That's how I do it at the moment given they don't yet make a cordless welder and I have a cable plugged in anyway.

    Cordless power tools

    I enjoy mine so much I want to buy a second one so I can have both cutting and grinding disks available when working on small projects.

    KTM 690 - Fits on Extra Cab Hilux??

    I loaded my 1200GSA on the Ranger Supercab but needed to leave the bin open. Not sure you'll be able to close it. EDIT: Both the 690 and the GSA have a 1.5m wheel base and differ by only 3mm. Measure the bin.

    Adventure helmets......just an image thing?

    I have one of each and use them all. Apart from the peak for glare, the adventure helmet has far superior ventilation which is important for slow technical riding. I use a modular helmet when touring with the wife and riding around town but prefer my Arai TX4 if I had to keep just one.

    If you fitted the Toys2Go rear rack, the grab handles my just solve the problem you have with the big bag.

    Exhaust Painting - Whats the Best??

    Daai is meer charcoal as swart, blykbaar fade die swart na 'n ruk. Dit maak definitief makliker skoon.
