Durasole in Wynberg are great. They do any work for the shoe shop I run. One of the cobblers is a rider too, albeit a BM rider :)

Thank goodness, then I can stop stalking this page

As apposed to tiny meerkat balls

I guess the DCT Africa Twin solves that problem :p

With sleeping bags, I always carry my winter one. I have been caught out, even on "warmer" nights

We will definitely be popping past and say hi :)

Exciting and cool to see

Route planning time. This is where I would like some input please dogs. I want to go as far as Pietermaritzberg, and how I get there is open to change etc. There asre a few spots and passed etc I would like to do along the way there, or even back to Cape Town. Below are some of the POI's and...

Although we did not do any riding, we got travel insurance through Discovery when we last travelled overseas, and it cost is nothing additional. It may be worth checking with your medical aid?

Bump to the top seeing as Januworry is pretty much behind us. This is the perfect school run or cheap commuter bike.

So after replacing tires and all the fluids, today was a good day for a shake down run. From town I went to Malmesbury to Darling, following some of the rail lines, Darling to Hopefield, then into Caladonia, through an awesome, sandy road that pops out on the Veldriff Piketberg Road. Onwards to...

Pretty

I have joined few a Parklands ride or two on the KDX, ask John about me fouling plugs ;), but Monday is usually my riding day. The XT was the best 250/300 I could find :) Route will be my next focus, but I will be going up to EC and into KZN. The idea is to get out my map, Mark POI's that I...

Just hit 2000km now. I am impressed with the bike, it think it was the perfect choice for our trip

https://wilddog.net.za/threads/cross-cape-uni-cycle-route-28-may-2018.224651/ My big trip was a few years ago now. I still ride, but no more long trips for me thanks

I know this is not ride planning just yet, but its all part of the process I guess. Since the bike is a 2010 model with only 1800km on the clock, I thought it would be a good idea to go through everything. So I replaced the tires, tubes, because the bike still had the original 13 year old...

Nice to hear they are still happy to have us, for now. It is a stunning area there.

And here she is, a clean, crazy low millage XT660R. There may have cheaper or "better" options out there, but I have always had a soft spot for these Yamies. I feel they are highly underrated and super versatile. It is also red, so I might be able to get away with it in the Honda circles...

Keep em keen ;) I'm sure the WD detectives could figure it out if they were desperate enough, but its only one more sleepy.

So onto bike options. As I mentioned previously, I had my heart set on a CRF250/300 kind of thing. You know, keep it in the Honda family and these bikes would also make a for great replacement for my daily commute, the YBR125. My old man not being the fittest and in the best of shape, a lighter...
