So, why not just Touratech and Farkle your own? For the price I bet a lot more can be done to a bike.

Be friendly, understanding and courteous. Smile and wave whenever you go past someone that made way, closed the gap or got a skrik because they weren't expecting you. You'd be surprised what difference a change in attitude on your side can do to your commute. People on your route get to know you...

No problem. What can I say? I'm happy. I would not have bought the BMW two piece anyway, since it's got GoreTex and won't last as long as the Nylon with PVC coating that the one piece has.

Congrats. You'll really enjoy it. IMO it's the best scrambler currently on the market.

So, I gave the BMW ProRain 2 coveralls a dry run (so to speak) today. It was cloudy outside, but I didn't expect it to rain and arrived at work without any rain on the way. It did give me a good indication of some of its performance though. Despite it's lack of any ventilation holes, this is...

R35k nogal!

Clever photoshopping some wheels in there, but you don't fool me.

So, I decided to drop the dosh on a BMW ProRain 2 overall in the end. It looks like a quality piece of kit. Features I especially liked was the burn protection on the inner legs, non-slip pad on the bum, double-cuffs for total arm waterproofing, silky lining inside as opposed to the usual...

A beeswax mix used to waterproof leather boots. Thanks. I may just go for those stretchy rubber overboots in the end though.

Travelling from Jhb CBD to Midrand on the M1 yesterday I saw no less than 10 motorcades going the other direction in the space of 3 minutes. I'm surprised it didn't all of a sudden turn into a war zone with these gun brandishing hooligans.

Point taken. Still impresses me more.

Does anyone know where I can buy Sno Seal here in Gauteng?

Can't find one on the net, but a recent Enduro World tested some Husky with the guy going up and down near vertical water erosion faces.

Climbing your bike out of a hole with almost vertical walls impresses me more.

Right. So, what are we looking at that makes you a noob? Thumbs-up while making a jump with a 950SE?

I was commuting the one day from Pretoria to Benoni on the R21, saw the blue lights way in front (couple of km), but traffic was heavy and I soon caught up. Similar setup with their motorcade having two Metro cars and three black BMW X5s. I was commuting on the Kriek and as I neared them one X5...

I'm considering the BMW coverall, but need more feedback. Damn DS riders for being so individualistic.

Vuka's actually: https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=15747.0

What is the absolute best rainsuit for motorcycling out there? BWM (which one)? Cape Agri? Loncin? Oxford? Vuka? X-Kulcha? It's definately not Perfecto or Vivante, so don't even mention those.

Found this thread on advrider about a cheap aux gas tank for the Xchallenge and it got me wondering, what stops the guy from swiveling that 180 degrees and connecting a hose to the main tank? Would be a very nice setup for under a grand (and quickly removable too).
