    What "shorter" Boot to Buy?

    I'm on my second pair of Sidi's. The first pair is now 11 years old and still used whenever I know I'll get dirty. They are the most comfortable dirt touring boots, offers decent protection and they are waterproof.

    800GS cutting out when gearing down

    I would first check if it's not the way you change gears with bulky boots that hits the sidestand just enough to engage the switch.

    First bike that made you stop and stare ?

    My uncle bought a new '83 and stopped at our place on the way home, I had weak knees and everything!

    Arai launches Tour X 5

    Those were there before but they have changed shape to improve airflow and ventilation.

    N2 ( BOT RIVER)

    That last route will most likely have the least amount of traffic and offers great scenery through Koo valley.

    Arai launches Tour X 5

    I imagine that it's designed to handle higher speeds than before given the ever increasing horsepower of the bikes.

    Plastic oil pump drive gears

    On the F800 they are behind the clutch basket. Relatively inexpensive and easy enough to replace once you get past removing and refitting the clutch.

    Plastic oil pump drive gears

    The failure of this gear caused the demise of my son's F800GS to the extent that we replaced the engine. At some point it lost a few teeth which caused the oil pressure to drop which in turn caused slack on the timing chain which slipped resulting in significant damage throughout the engine...

    TYRE TREAD LIFE ( distance to smooth ,by measurement )

Ambient Temperature 7. Traction Control/Suspension settings 8. Riding Style 9. Straights or twisties...

    BMW R1300 GS PICS “ LEAKED”

    Danie, this will forever remain the catch 22 for manufacturers. If they do not make what the market wants, someone else will and they lose the sale. Most OEM's do in depth market analyses and then produce the products accordingly. If the small bike segment is shrinking it's because of buying...

    BMW R1300 GS PICS “ LEAKED”

    The target market does not go offroad in fact, most Wilddogs never go offroad, merely off tar. The adventure segment is dominated by dirt touring enthusiasts and as far as I'm concerned, that's just fine. More bikes and more options is a good thing and every rider likes and buys what suits their...

    Mid ADV shootout

    I can relate to this. I've never won any bike race nor belonged to a club but I don't own a car. I would say bikes are a passion for me in my own way.

    BMW R1300 GS PICS “ LEAKED”

    I like the look and it would make a great replacement touring with pillion bike. However, I do not see such new bike in my future, the price of these are far beyond what I keep in savings so I'll keep my old one.

    For Sale BMW 911 Tool

    You can use it on a maximum of 10 VIN's. This one has 8 left so should still be fine for any hobbyist with a few bikes. Considering the price new, a definite bargain!

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