From the pic, it is does not look like a 640 enduro, but rather a 625 or 640 smc with 21" and 18" wheels. The standard 640 enduro did not have that swingarm and tail end. It also looks like that bike has twin silencers, something the enduro did not have, but the smc did. You can also look at...

I always do that. But it is a KTM, even vacuum packing the whole bike does not prevent it from being a scared bugger and dying at the first sight of some water. Nee. Dan gan my voete nat word. Vir nou sal ek julle Saterdag vir 'n rooi roete sien.

Ek stel belang om met die 690 deur te ry. Ek is net nie lus om 'n 690 al die pad Bellville toe te stoot as die "water crossings" so lyk nie.

Great ride for my dad and I. Man that wind going up Sir Lowry's in the morning really had me worried for the day ahead. My 690 met my dik gat het lekker af gekak daar. Rode the tweespoor pass at Botrivier, then dirt roads from there all the way to Caledon. Stopped at the church at 0830 and left...

We rode with two guys here last year. The red is the route we rode and then we got lost due to missing tracks and farms gates. Are you going this way?

Excellent. I am happy with it in all terrains and all weather types. But maybe it could be that it is on a 690. I am not sure how it is going to hold up if you are doing high speed karoo roads only, but if you like riding sand (dunes) and things like the postal route, I would recommend it. I...

I got one by E2R (Eddy to Race) earlier in the year. They ordered it for with their next shipment of mitas tyres. Just give them a call and ask if they have. Not many people are riding them, so I do not know if they are keeping stock of it. Eddy to Race 021 982 8368

Witblitz + blesblitz are in for now. Is the petrol station open in Greyton on Saturdays? Is that 690 gang from Stellenbosch going to be there again this year?

If you get pulled over by traffic cops or by a road block while on a bike and you do not have a bike licence, what can happen? Hefty fine, call someone to collect your bike, jail, stretched anus, death, etc.? I am talking about not having a bike licence at all, not that you forgot you licence...

From the E2R team

As far as I understand, they are not really out. They can get a DNF for a stage and still ride the rest of the race but not be classified as a finisher. Correct me if I am wrong here. I think there was nothing wrong by starting with a marathon stage with the rally. The problem came with doing...

Seems like 120 is moving well since it seemed he started far back. 120 is Johan van Lill for the guys from Cape Town. Ex quad enduro racer who likes going flat out. 19 Martin Lourens is another enduro rider from Cape Town. Why did Brian Bontekoning withdraw? Guy with the pics. If you are...

Get onto the service road by the railway line. Ride on the road next to the line to Atlantis. Then check google maps how to follow the tar road from the end of the line into the dunes.

My plastic plates last longer than the aluminium plates. The aluminium plates tear along the edge where the numbers get punched. Goeie Hoop Onderdele in Brackenfell do them.

More info on this? Distance, cost, terrain, time?

I was sent a link to this. Some brave ridding. There is some other videos on his channel if you want to see more. https://www.youtube.com/v/DPK8UXkh0Nc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPK8UXkh0Nc

This is what the Mitas (Sava) MC 23 Rockrider 140/80-18 looks like on a 690. I only have done 50km on them so I am unsure how they will hold up. Forget about the pipe on the brake, that was to show someone else.

I disagree. This was the biggest load of kak I ever had on this bike. Front wheel was drifting all over on the tar roads. The bike would not turn in the sand. Ek het amper my P afgeval met dit. I would be better off riding on the rim than fit this tyre again. The only option is a Pirelli MT21...

Not as easily as an XR650R....

What time?
