Kids are out of the house, so no more popping out for a quick ride. Went the route of getting wifey a Xpulse, worked very lekker until her RA put a stop to that. Riding alone is lekker, riding with buddies is lekker, but nothing beats being out and about with wifey, and offroad bikes are no...

As per @2StrokeDan's suggestion I'll use this thread to document the running cost of my Volvo EX30. I'll update here weekly. Electricity cost R3.20/kWh, I charge up to 70% every time. Date Odometer (km) Distance (km) Eskom kWh Eskom Cost Solar kWh Solar Cost* Charged kWh/100km Shown...

The deal almost didn't happen, due to a cockup the saleman made... and then left the company, leaving the others to conclude his deals. But, with preseverence (ok ok, I really wanted the car) the deal came through and I am now the owner of an EV. And not just any EV, I'd like to think. The one...

Lot's of staunch Toyota supporters use the word "reliability" as their main reason for being, well, staunch Toyota supporters. But how many know that many Toyotas are just rebranded cars from other makes...

My KTM 690 rear wheel is generally not optimal for use with a tubeliss, although I do have it in there at the moment. But it keeps deflating. Previously it worked 100%, on the 2 tyres I had used it on and during many trips. But ever since installing a D606 it just does not keep the pressure. I...

There's something special about commuting to work on a machine that sounds as monstrous as it looks, with torque that puts a smile on your face and when you park and look back at the bike you see this, and every time it feels like you just bought it...

With the electronic ignition I'm building for my mini I can adjust the timing curves with the click of a few buttons. Some settings give you better fuel economy, and some give you more power. But it is a single curve that you can adjust, it is not multiple (predefined) curves that you can select...

While doing a general cleanup of my garage I came across an (almost)full 5L oil, I couldn't believe my luck as I needed to add a little to the mini. But then I noticed this on the oil container: Now I'm not sure if they were referring to the oil or the cannister :p, but I'm thinking it's the...

I hurt my hip in the head-on collision I had a few years back, but as there was nothing broken I lived with the short period of pain and limping. Everything healed nicely, or so I thought. Fast forward a year or so and after my trip through Western Cape on the 690 I start experiencing cramps in...

I remember years ago one could buy a sparkplug with a glass aperture that allowed you to see the color of the ignition burn. One would use this to set the mixture, if I recall. I can't seem to find this sort of thing at the regular car parts places, anyone have an old one they want to sell?

My RocketIII came with a Power Commander and Auto Tuner installed, it makes brutal power. But, the fuel consumption is a bit on the dark side, so I'm considering removing (and selling) it. Priced new at roughly R20K, I'll let it go for R8K neg.

I'm going to have to get tyres for the mini in the next month or so, so I started looking around at the normal tyre guys... nobody even lists 10" tyres on their websites. The smallest I could see is 12". This makes it a bit difficult because I now have to phone every tyre outlet to hear if they...

Drawing and graphics is not a skill I possess, and so I am looking for someone that can draw some silhouette type images for me - just black and white. This is related to my mini project and the instrumentation I am building for it - think of newer vehicle's with displays that show a silhouette...

I cannot really see where this oil is coming from, whether it is from the tappet cover (most likely), the exhaust outlet (worrying!) or the head gasket. Is this a common thing on the 690R's? It's not dripping down or anything, and probably been there a while too... just noticed it recently...

The regular sound dampening sheets are ridiculously expensive! What's a good alternative material to use to line a car's floor (underneath the carpet), firewall, insides of the doors, etc to block as much as possible road noise?

So I ticked another item off, and got myself a Triumph Rocket. The "Rocket iii", mind you, not he new "Rocket 3"... my finances still only allow purchase of pre-loved bikes. What a bike!, Man this thing just blows my mind! Been commuting with it for about a week now, I get to work smiling every...

I'm selling my K1200GT. I bought it off a WD member, but selling it now in order to upgrade. About 93,000km on the clock. It's a beautiful pearl white color, with beautifully upholstered seats. So comfortable you can tour all day long, and at a serioius speed. Comes with: 1. Large 2-helmet...

I can't seem to find assembly lube for assembling the mini's engine. I know a lot of people use engine oil, but this engine is going to stand for a long time after assembly before it is run, I don't want the oil to run down. I have a tub of high-concentrate MoDi grease, can that be used? One...
