I can endorse the BMW Rider Academy training. Having had a bike license since 1972 I did the Advanced Cornering and Road Safety course in 2016 and learned a lot! Then the usual stuff like ATTGATT, never twist the throttle with your ego and it does not matter who is right, it matters what is left!

You know and I know, you can run these aircooled jobs at the max Metzler Karoo speed rating for 12 hours a day and then do Baviaans and The Hell, all without radiators, alternator burn ups or front fork problems! At this speed, with a loaded GS, you do however burn the rear Karoo 3 up in 2000...

See if you can stay in the lighthouse at Luderitz, Nature Conservation used to manage the rental. Then get a permit, a guide and a spade from Nature Conservation and you can dig for desert rose.

the issue stems from an emissions canister component provided by a non-BMW supplier. Maybe the Loncin engines?

Dankie, hartseer storie van lekker tye wat verby is

This is a very reluctant sale of a pristine condition 2012 1200 GSA which I bought in April 2018 after my son totaled my previous GSA in Baviaans. The bike had some 19000 km when I bought it and the 20 000 km service was thrown in with the purchase, meaning that this bike, stabled in a locked...

I have it good authority that BMW will be included after they have managed to build a competitive offering.

The way I interpret the mid bike shootout is that the KTM is for those that have not reached 60 years of age, after which they buy the Husky. Dedicated parking available at frail care centres for the Yamaha clan

I have found The Old Mechanic, who covers a range of BNW bikes, to be quite a useful technical resource when servicing my bikes. https://m.youtube.com/@TheOldMechanic

In my experience Navworld in Gift Acres, Pretoria, cannot navigate their way through a one page Garmin advertisement The superbly qualified counter jumper, probably a qualified Garmin GPS Engineer no less, tried to bullshit me on the functioning of my Zumo, claiming it will only charge the...

On the annual Buffalo Rally run from Pretoria to Mossel Bay, 1200km, I use some 80 litre of fuel with a 2010 model 1200 GS. Taking a litre of petrol as 9.7kWh this is some 776 kWh for the trip If you want to do 250km distances at the same rate, you will require some 16.7 litres of fuel or 162...

As I am thinikng about spoiling myself for my 70th birthday I was thinking about what has happened to the lightweight mid range bikes For the 2024 F900 GS Adventure, weight is listed at 246 kg with 23 litres of fuel in the tank. For the 2010 R1200 GS Adventure, weight is listed as 256 kg with...

Note from experience: It is important to fit retaining nuts, in the proper orientation, before flaring the second end!

With Gerlof on pole and fading in the race, the BMW maintains its one lap wonder status?

With her hands bandaged like that, but for the straight nose, she looks like a Boxer?

Note the rating, 12 Volt and 6 Watt so the globe draws some 500 milliampere. When I replaced one of those with an new LED type lamp the CANBUS did not recognise the lower current consumption of the LED and insisted that the bulb was still blown

I agree with you, the damage MM took this year, including five prangs in one weekend, may not only be physical and that could prevent him from thriving on the edge as before.

This is my catfishing lure It consists of a Zoom Speedcraw that has been wired to a steel leader and a bird feather stuck into the Speedcraw. The Speedcraw withstands claws and teeth and you can cast it into the garden for the cat to enjoy. Cellphone camera does not record action shots...
