On my TODO list - learn to ride like a girl. But I think I am being too ambitious.....

I would be the one wearing the brown pants after that  :o

Hmm, gotta feel for the poor bastard that programmed the route. Imagine having the bosses of Honda, Yamaha, KTM and BMW (okay, maybe not BMW) leaning over you, pointing out that the f*&#*&^#ing waypoint was NOT WHERE YOU SAID IT WAS!!!!! And that YOU were to blame for their hairy smelly bikers...

So has Eddie Jones called you in the fix the pap wiel in the English rugby team? You are a legend, sir, and I wish you well. I will forever remember the night you drove me to the next Amageza bivvy, after pretty much no sleep at all, for forken ever somewhere in Botswana, I think? Or the time I...

Us BMW 650’ers are a well behaved lot. Moderating this section of the forum has been pretty easy for the past few years, but it is now time for me to move on. So who is keen to take over? You get no pay, no recognition, just a good excuse to spend time reading the forum (it’s my responsibility...

Ooooh, Camelman aka Alexander was toying with the idea of a vintage class for Amageza, but he was thinking 30 years old as the cutoff. Who would be game to ride a pre-1989 bike? I think it is a brilliant idea.

I used four of these: https://barkbusters.net/products/accessories-spare-parts/4923-led-res-001/ 10 ohm each

Built into the dash. The easiest for me was just adding resistors when I changed to LED. I used Barkbusters resistors that Flying Brick had in their store, but I’ve seen similar in many stores.

Yes you can, it uses a round Garmin connector rather than a (flimsy) USB connector. Very rugged, but quite difficult to find.

What’s that white box she has in her hand at 1m25, that she mounts in the bracket from 1m30? https://youtu.be/f9H0TwLo-3k

I was almost not involved in the madness this year, just lurking every now and then. It appears that my scepticism about the shorter duration and single country was unfounded, ASO put on a great event. My highlights (in no particular order) The Kalahari Ferrari showing what we know he can do in...

Anybody else see this, on Ricky Brabec FB page? "One of those days, 4 left. What a shame someone had the balls to mess with my suspension clicks over night in marathon, thanks for the compression mate....#toolbag" Lots of speculation about whether this is true, and about whether "mate" is...

Consider Doubletake mirrors. They will be the last ones you buy.

Good call bud, good call  :)

I had mine printed, nogal a custom design. It’s my avatar. It cost me R35.

Just for interest - you say you have a LED low beam, but the Touratech rally fairing comes with a halogen low beam. What did you swop it out for, and why?

I have pretty much exactly the same bike. This is a steal, somebody is going to get moer baie motorbike for moer min money.

Yup, pre-filter is highly recommended

I had a bad battery, that wasn’t completely poked but didn’t have enough grunt to turn the engine. Fortunately I had two large and fast friends, and a long downhill. They pushed me, fast, I turned on the ignition, popped the clutch and it started. It remains the one and only wheelie I have ever...

Seriously? The sparkplug was making your speedo reset?  :-\
