    Bringing a Nam Car to SA (but SA Registered)........???

    The road tax is for 3 months, but can be extended. If it is in Nam for longer than a year, 16,5% refundable import duty must/should have been paid. Find out if the owner has keep his road tax or temporary import up to date.

    A friend has a 800 where the center stand also suddenly hit the swing arm on one side only. He traced the problem to a twisted center. Seems that stand was twisted at some stage and the one side was higher than the other side when up by about 6mm. He has taken it off and bend it back, it is...

    Mine are also strapped down, but I fill the 3lt cell with 2,5lt and the 5lt with 4lt. This is New Years day high summer in Namibia en-route to Sesriem, and they did not leak with the new caps.

    "Get Together" - 13 - 15 October 2023 @ DOORNKLOOF - FREE STATE

    For myself, it is easier to pick up a BMW GS (boxer) than my XT1200Z. My riding partner is riding a GS1200 and I have picked it up few times for her. They do not lay as flat as other bikes. But yes, they get heavier with each pick up.

    Custom Made Adventure Jacket?

    I am 1,96m and 112kg. Bought a DMD jacket over estimating the size (5XL) and it is to big for me. A 3XL will fit me. Gave it to a friend and it fits his 1,89m and 138kg frame perfectly. I am sure you find a jacket that fits in the DMD range.
