    to buy or not to buy

    by nature I am a "mover".....some like to sit and and I like to move and strike whilst the iron is hot. I think in afrikaans they say " my gat juk ?" been a while since I used the taal.

    re licensing a scrapped bike

    It seems they have the documents for the cops. It is a clean 2004 with 8000km so seems worth a look at least. thanks for advice.

    break the bike down, and sell as parts. you will be surprised at what you'll get out... Ganjora that is great advise. That part about not being in the same country as the bike is the fly in the ointment to most solutions....will probably salt it away for a rainy day.

    re licensing a scrapped bike

    a bike was stolen and then recovered. The idiots managed to grind off the serial of the engine and the frame. the owner then scrapped the bike. Now it is an off road farm bike in mint condition. How much of a mission is it to get it licensed and back on the road. Is it even possible or is it too...

    not in the country...so self fix is not an option. Will either sell as is or leave it as is for a day when I am In SA and have the time. The question that begs asking is does it make sense to throw more time and money at something that is at best a temperamental speed machine. anybody interested...

    Huge thanks to Kaboef of wilddogs !

    a big thank you to Kaboef... he helped my get my broken bike from montagu to the workshop in capetown. Good to see that there are still people out there that extend a helping hand to total strangers in need. These kind of deeds do not go unnoticed and I look forward helping him or another in the...

    the XR125L thread

    the island I live on is steep...some of the hills are just too much for the small but gutsy xr 125 L...any suggestions on what would be the better option... a smaller front sprocket will work, but was thinking a bigger back sprocket and longer chain might be better, but not sure if bigger...
