Where do you get the full size cigarette lighter adaptor except for BMW dealer? My local dealer has always JUST run out...

Sorry I missed this one – great report– join you  next time!

Hey Woofus, I'm not the one caught on camera bending over a tyre with only my onderbroek on and that selfsame brother "helping" you in Baviaans...  :pot: BTW have you got the wheels on the 640 yet; I'm keen on the Heidelberg ride from your house. Now stop hijacking the blerrie thread.

Sure thing rudi, I'll post a ride report with pics as soon as I get a chance. How was your Saturday ride to Bela Bela? Would like to have joined, but work and a wedding (not mine thank goodness) prevented me from considering it. Are you keen on a Magaliesburg breakfast outride on Saturday or...

:imaposer: :imaposer: :imaposer: :imaposer: Brrrrrrrm brrrrrrm that's why they call it a boney.

You've got to love tubeless! That right there is a whole lot of mission for me.

Thanks Michiel – I've done the usual Buthe-Butha to Sani before but this looks even more spectacular. By the condition of the road in the pics it does look like a tall order in one day, even more so considering we're a group of nine! By the look on your faces it was a great trip – how much time...

A couple of mates and I are riding Lesotho and surrounds in March. We're planning do do the following route on one of the days: Matatiele to Ramatdseliso’s gate (border) via Sehonghong & Thaba-tseks to  Butha Buthe. Has anyone done that route and what's it like? Our bikes range from 950 Adv to...

+1 if you can buy your own bike, you can decide to ATGATT or not – we'll still show sympathy when we complain about our roasties. I had a 80kph crash on dirt a few years ago with ATGATT on – bike smashed up but I was fine barring some bruising and seeing birdies circle my head; hence I'm a...

A lady on the road – a slut in the dirt.

Veels geluk, jy sal nie spyt wees nie, dis 'n greaaat bike! Die inloop is maar frustrerend, want sy wil laat waai!

Fitted my 30mm raisers on the weekend, it does make a huge difference (I'm 6'4). I'm just sorry that I didn't do it years ago on my other bikes!

I have to say that I haven't noticed 'twitchy' – I'd describe it as power on demand  :ricky: Different to a thumper yes, but I got used to it very quickly. BTW I fitted 30mm handlebar raisers this weekend; it's unbelievable what a difference 3cm of height can make. Standing comfort and balance...

I met an old toppie at a bike shop the other day, he had a lever on his handlebar, connected to a cable that flipped up his plate when needed. Says he hasn't had a fine since.

Sorry to hear, heal well. My brother broke his ankle last year, screws etc. also out of action for 6 weeks, not nice. Those Dakars have a thing for lower legs!

TM, I've never owned a 1200, so can't compare pillion comfort, but the F8 certainly has enough poke for 2-up. Handling on and off-road is great (our combined weight is about 145kg) â?? cruising at 150 on freeways comes naturally if you have a decent screen. The seat can get cramped if you have...

I believe the hose problem ocurred on the first batches of 800's (ie earlier in 2008) and that the problem was corrected on later batches. I've been moaning about the front headshake on rough roads earlier on this thread and read somewhere that the rear suspension setup might improve the...

Eina!

Once more I can fill up for under R100  :biggrin: Now you cant' help but ride twice as much, it makes good economic sense!
