Maybe a happy pizza to go...

Great Terror. I think the final decision deadline should be the end of this month, in order to book flights for good rates and availability. I did get a tour itinerary from RedRider, a Cambodian based biking tour company. Their rate for two riders on XR250's, riding kit (if you don't take your...

Okay, who's up for an adventure in December? I'm thinking of doing a six/seven-day bike tour in Cambodia. The plan is to fly out of JHB on the 18th of December, arrive late in Phnom Penh on the 20th via Bankok. Rent bikes and get going on the 21st on a route we can decide upon together. My...

Apparently lots of DS bikes go over the border to Moz; and my guess is it gets chopped up for spare parts here too. Have you seen what used spares cost? Lots of money in it.

That screen looks good – thanks for posting the pic. And the bike looks shiny as new.

So I go collect some forms from the police this morning, and the investigator just received another FOUR dockets just this morning for bike thefts. This is in the roodepoort/northcliff area. So best you chain your bike up and guard it with your 9mm id you live near these areas!

Awwww. However I might be buying my brother's Dakar soon, same year just a bit more 'used'. He wipes more than me... I don't handle bikelessness very well.

And so I thought, but the clause for vehicles excludes bikes. It's with Santam as part of my house & car insurance – I was hoping to be able to replace the bike with the same, but not at this rate.

Well to add insult to injury after my baby was stolen, the insurance excess on the bike is 10%. No replacement value even though the bike is less than a year old. Does my insurer suck or is 10% a industry standard on bikes?

Cool, do they make a big difference? Please post a pic of the Kappa screnn when you get a mo. BTW, how's the bike running? Can I have it back?

I had the Kappa for the 800 too, it was great. Who stocks them?

Way back before I became a Dog, I bought a taller screen for my Dakar from Cytech (and paid a fortune of course). What other screen options are available? Post pics of your bike.

When I fitted Karoo T's I also got some weaving at high speed. Took a few 1000 km's to wear the front in and ever since then it was fine up to 200kph. Just ride the tyres in. Also set your rear suspension up for your weight. I weigh 85kg and had my rebound one turn in from soft, and preload...

Ja-nee, sonder 'n bike kan ek nie. Maar ek's nogal lus vir 'n oranje 990...

It seems that the bastards have discovered the value of bikes now, judging by what I hear. Mostly BMWs though – anyone had their KTM stolen recently? Anyway thanks for all the commiserations; I didn't think I'd have to buy a bike so soon again. If I'd known this I would have ridden that 800...

My bike just got stolen... I'm keen once the insurance gets sorted. Will keep you posted, let me know if it's still available

I live near Northcliff, in Albertskroon. The bike doesn't have Tracetech – I honestly didn't think bike theft is an issue.

My grey 800GS was stolen off my property last night, Sunday 5 October. Bastards lifted electric gate and bike gone. If anyone comes across it an any form the reg. no is XSV 660 GP. It has a Kappa screen, SW Motech crash bars and barkbuster handguards. Luckily it is insured, but I won't get the...

12000 trouble-free Kms later I can just marvel at all the learned opinions from non-800 owners. Just like any machine some elements could be better, but then it would be the perfect DS bike, and we all know that's just not possible; but it comes damn close. And like any bike I've ever ridden...

Huh indeed. ???
