Welcome! You clearly have impeccable taste.  :3some:

It never ceases to amaze that one fifth of the bike costs half the price in repairs. They just whack the insurance for six. BTW Rubiblue, how's the shoulder coming on? Let me know when you're ready for the first ride again.

Crickey! That's half the bike... What is all being replaced?

Maybe I am just enjoying the 800 powerslides too much, but they wear quickly. I was told some story that the new Conti TKC 80's wear a lot, but damn anything is better than just 2000km on the Karoo's! Not much choice for this size in the way of grippy tyres.

How much was your claim as a matte of interest?

I'm in the same boat, need Heidi's to try 90/90/19 and 150/70/17 for the 800 – the knobbly version. Anybody in Gauteng got stock yet? Vendors? Karoo T rear tyre gave me a full 2000km and now it's fooked – in other words, 1.00 Souf African Ronds per kilometre, that's three times more per Km than...

The F800 GS stickers on my left side panel have loosened ant the edges and are washing off, I now have a "I800 CS". Anybody else have this problem? I never use a pressure washer on my bikes, so it's not that and the right side is fine. The bike is only 5 months old – I wonder if BMW will...

Sounds like you need a 950/990 Adventure – I was duly impressed by the 950 offroad. Great suspension, great power and comfortable too. Range is not great though, lucky if you get 250km. My 800 is a close second, scoring points on a range of 320-350km on a 16l tank, with plenty of controllable...

cool more detaisl on trip ASAP especially what areas sucked going there in 3 months in same region I'll compile a detailed trip report once I get the pics from my riding buddies and get some time. But the route was as follows: Day 1: Fouriesburg to Maseru (dirt) Maseru to somewhere in Central...

Yep that was me on Tuesday.

I've just returned from a gruelling 2 000km trip in, around and over Lesotho with the 800GS, where I encountered passes and rocks that make Sani pass look like a highway, plus thick mud on Naude's Nek and Ramatsielo's Gate. This is not the ride report (will post that in RR later) but my quick...

Best thing about this piece of junk is the Dakar screen...  :pot: Seriously, well done, I'll give her a spin on the dirt this time round.

Now with pic: Rufus 115 is the skinny one bending over...

I bought just in time then! Eina but that's expensive now I wonder if KTMs are also up so much.

Ek het 30mm SW Motechs by Bikegear gekry, very nice. Ek's 1.97m lank en dit maak 'n hengse verskil, sit en staan.

Hey c'mon, post the pics!

I used one for long journeys – not bad. But I almost lurched off a cliff once when it caused me to accidentally open the throttle on a mountain path!  :o

Excellent – that's a bulletproof bike – I miss that sound!

Hey that's my old Dakar! Good to see she's getting out there, looks like you guys had a stellar ride.

Sounds like a bad movie! So far my hose is still 100% but I keep checking – what mileage on your bike? I went for the first punishing ride with the new 30mm handlebar raisers this weekend and what a difference 3cm can make! Standing and sitting control and comfort is way better now, and along...
