Should I be worried that the bikes’ charging system (designed for lead acid batteries) could be incompatible with lithium batteries? Or does the lithium battery’s battery management system handle that seamlessly?

Ouch for the old injury. That explains the bruised ankle… I suspect all footpegs will cause you grief in that case… Is it feasible to ride with something like a shin-guard?

Pivot Pegz here. I like them and cannot recall any bruised ankles, but I ride mostly with MX boots.

Ek neem aan die bike het 'n center stand? Indien nie sal ek dit hoog op die lys sit...

Europe is probably best (no jet lag). Lots to see other than MotoGP and easy to travel around too IMO. Make sure you get pavillion seats with a view of one of the big screens next to the circuit (dependant on circuit). Cheap seats often mean you only see a stream of bikes flying past you...

Knobblies Real hand guards (i.e. Barkbusters to protect levers and hands) Bash plate (my preference is for something high in front to also protect exhaust headers, i.e. Outback Motortek) Wide pegs (I like PivotPegz) Respring rear shock for your weight Also: Centerstand skid plate (Mostly to...

Lekker! Veral daai paadjie bo-op die berg en verby die toring... Jou area en paaie herrinner my elke nou en dan aan my omgewing. Paradys vir adventure bikes. 😍

Solo dayride in the foothills and forests of the Victorian Alps east of Melbourne. https://maps.app.goo.gl/VcGUnUvrSxGM8cUC6?g_st=ic Typical scenery of this area. Gum trees and mountain ferns. Spot the Honda... Unexpected river crossing. This spot next to the river appears to be a...

Ek ry gewoonlik dag trips naby die huis, maar dis stadige plantasiepaaie. 200 km per dag is ver genoeg. Ek het een dag jare gelede 1000 km op 'n GS afgery van Pta na die Kaap se kant. Meestal snelweg. Dalk die verveligste dag wat ek ooit op 'n bike gehad het. Nie my idee van pret nie.

Eina blix!m, daar in die klippe. 😬

Lekker bike, lekker paaie! 😍

Yup, I also hunt the discounts, and then use it for a looong time. Previous helmet (BMW GS helmet) lasted 8+ years. After a visor replacement it is still good enough to use as a spare.

Ek het onlangs my ou helmet vervang met 'n Arai (eerste vir my). Ek's bly om te sien hulle is duursaam.

Het die vakansie saam met 'n vriend op sy 690 in die plantasie gaan speel. Hierdie is 'n "tiger snake". https://australian.museum/learn/animals/reptiles/tiger-snake/

This AT just clocked 30 000 km's after 5.5 years since I bought it new in 2017. I'd say at least 50% was off tar. Without a doubt the most enjoyable bike I've ever had, all things considered. 😍

Ek was jonk getroud toe ek hierdie onbesonnighede aangevang het... Ek het vroeër vanaand vir my vrou gesê, "Ek kan glo jy't met 'n ou getrou wat sy motorfiets in die sitkamer parkeer nie!". Sy't net geglimlag en gesê, "Dit het my nie gepla nie. Dit was ware liefde!" She's a keeper... 😍

That reminds me, years ago I parked my Honda XR600R overnight in my living room because my bachelors flat did not have a garage. The difference was it was not an ornament... 🤐

I have the SW Motech Daypack with tank ring. It is one size bigger than the Micro if I remember correctly. It is small enough not to hinder while standing off road, and large enough to take all the essentials. It's fantastic.

Van die grondpaaie in die plantasies in my omgewing was sleg vol slaggate na die winter se reën. Hulle het onlangs 'n nuwe laag gruis oor die slegte plekke gegooi, en ewe skielik het hierdie paaie, wat ek gewoonlik vermy het, my gunsteling geword. Gly in die draaie in, en powerslide uit. Dis...
