Appreciate all the feedback. (y)

I've been considering some body armor for a while. After this weekend's ride, and taking an hour yesterday washing red dust out of my adventure jacket, I'm considering it even more. I'm figuring at the speeds I ride dirt, the body armor with a MX shirt should be enough upper body protection...

The first mistake I didn't even pick up. As for the second thing he got wrong; I figured that he just hasn't spent enough time here.

Good point on the battery, thanks.

I need something to take and make phone calls on the bike. Audio quality doesn't have to be that good. Rider to rider and music not important. As long as I can connect it to my Garmin and get some directions, and more importantly take and make phone calls without having to get to my phone and...

Ride last night went later than I expected, and wanted to make a quick call to the wife. Too much of a mission. Stop, get to my phone, remove gloves and helmet, and 30 seconds later put phone away, helmet and wet gloves back on. I'm looking at getting a Cardo to make it simpler. A secondary...

Thanks @TVB. That's what I paid for the service. In hind-sight, I regret not looking into it a bit more and bringing my own oil, but I'll have a 6000km service done and use "quality" oil from that point on.

I'm listening to the latest episode of Adventure Rider Radio podcast now (E7 - 8 March). As a South African, not the most interesting episode, but Wilddog forum got a mention. (y)

I've edited this post and removed my original question. I think I was just being dumb. What is the cost for the oil with a service at Honda? Would the 2x R140 on the invoice be the oil cost?

Took it a little bit further out of town into the farms this weekend. Couple of close calls due to limited skill combined with ruts in the road, but good times...

Have been considering doing the same. Looking forwards to hear your thoughts on the upgrade.

Nice. Complete new shock, or spring replacement?

Not quite the Midlands view, but had fun on my first "longer" dirt ride on the rally with some really good weather...

First service is coming up, after that I'll do some more off-road than I've put it through up to now. Some by myself. Figuring that I'd rather not phone someone to come fetch me when there's a puncture or something "simple" to fix, a more comprehensive tool-kit might be worth it. Watched a...

Congrats. Will follow the thread with interest.

If you use the playlists they should be in order there.

Reminds me of an off-topic story. Many years ago. Friends on the highway somewhere in the middle of nowhere. Husband and wife (and kids if I remember correctly). Husband gets tired, switches driving with wife to take a nap in the passenger seat. Husband has a dream about something on the road...

Before I start looking online to order, I figured I'll find out if someone has one lying around they would sell. I have one of those bar/mirror RAM mounts for the garmin, but would like to replace it with a bar mount (22mm). Would prefer to get the one in the image below, but depending on price...

@TVB Editing on PC: Didn't know how to quote and reply at the same time from my phone. I got one from Goose. Haven't used it yet, but it seems to be what you were referring to...
