    Anyone know of a good Aprilia mechanic in the JHB/PTA areas ?

    I second this. Louis and his team all ride Aprilias and he looks after my dad's V-Strom properly. Louis is also a great guy.

    Got rear ended by another bike this morning...

    IMO the bus driver was not in the wrong. It appears as if he indicated and took a without danger. OP, you were also riding responsibly (not that I can see what happened beforehand) and gave yourself enough time to slow to allow the bus in. The fault lies wholly on Mr Marquez on the MV. He wasn't...

    DL1000 vs DL650

    My toppie has a DL1000. Clutch box needs modification, will set you back around R3k and will still probably be 100% with some shudder when pulling away with mid to high revs. Otherwise, these are solid bikes. Probably not GS solid, but value for money is unbeaten. Their engine tone is also great.

    The good and bad of a BMW R1200 RS LC.

    I looked at the RS when I was looking to replace my GS AC. I went with the XR. What stood out for me with the RS is that it just wanted to wheelie. You had to be careful in 1st & 2nd. It is a little cramped (I'm 6ft2) and my wife didn't like the pillion position. It is a little bit limited at...

    BMW GS insurance. No wonder it is so expensive.........

    A colour coded body panel on the S1000XR is around R8k, that's excluding the flickers, underlying plastic frames etc etc.

    BMW WunderLINQ

    I came across this and thought it was incredibly interesting. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/151936182/wunderlinq-bmw-motorcycle-smartphone-controller-ch/posts/2248037 I'd definitely get one.

    Does anyone have a contact at Netstar?

    This. They tried sticking mine within the fins in the one panel with silicon. I put my bike on the center stand that evening and it fell out. I cable tied it to the frame.

    Biker down on the M1 Midrand

    I stopped for the guy (along with 3 other guys), he was lying still but he looked okay. He was responsive etc. He was wearing an Airoh helmet and a jacket and gloves. No lower body kit. I think he was on an F700GS, which was definitely written off. The whole front end was FUBAR.

    Yamaha MT09 Tracer GT

    Not quite, but I do get your point. I was eyeing the MT-10 Tourer instead of the S1000XR, but that was too expensive for me.

    Yamaha MT09 Tracer GT

    I have to oppose you there, the BMW S1000XR outclasses it in every way.
