    CRF 1000 not powering up

    I came back from a 1000k trip last week with no issues. I washed the bike and then let it run for a few minutes and then parked it. This morning I went to start it up and its totally dead, the display doesn't light up, nothing. I have checked the battery fuse and all the fuses under the seat. I...

    Expired disc issue....

    I traded my bike in late last year, signed the licence papers etc etc. Last week I get a call to say that my old bike has been sold to a new owner but he can't register is because the disc expired 2 months ago. They are wanting me to go and pay the arrears to get the licence unblocked. This...

    Adventure helmets......just an image thing?

    For a reason that's not important I ended up riding my adventure bike with my full face helmet today and amazingly it made quite a nice change. I felt a bit like a dork (and probably looked like one) but it got me thinking. Why do we actually wear adventure helmets? I know it looks cool and we...

    West Coast Route advice

    I've got a few days free in June and was thinking of heading up the West Coast...maybe Lamberts Bay and loop out to Carnarvon and back down. Or is it worth going up to Port Nolloth? Looking for some places and routes that come recommended and maybe some not to bother with. I'll be travelling...

    Stop the rust....

    Living a stone's throw from the sea I'm trying to find a way to stop rust on my bike. I see ACF-50 is the recommended stuff but not that easy to get hold of. Do any of you have some tips or tricks to prevent rust on nuts, bolts, chrome, spokes etc etc?

    Kill Switch or Key?

    The user manuals for the two bikes I have say that the engine should be stopped by turning the key off. I prefer to use the kill switch and then the key, just killing it with the key just feels wrong. It probably doesn't make a difference and I've heard using the kill switch will help stop it...

    So sick of bike dealer BS......

    So I took the plunge and bought a bike last week from a dealer in Gauteng. I'm in the Western Cape and of course as soon as the deal is signed I am the one that has to constantly contact them for updates on delivery etc etc. Never mind, I'm used to that. I also got the normal warranty that gets...

    I'm looking at getting a cruiser to add to my garage. I want to do the occasional weekend ride of around 200 to 350k's with and without a pillion. My choice at the moment has come down to a Moto Guzzi California 1400, Triumph Speedmaster, Harley 1200 Sportster and a Harley Street Bob. All around...

    Ouberg Pass....

    Just returned from a four day solo trip which included going UP Ouberg pass on my Africa Twin.....damn, I was surprised at how difficult it is. The steep uphill sections with the rocks took me by surprise, thought it would be much easier. How does Ouberg pass compare to Sani?

    Do the Japs give a sh*t?

    A few years back I was in the market for an adventure bike and my heart was set on the Africa Twin and went online to see where I could go and view one. Also, I don't rush into buying anything so while I was in the area I decided I would also look at the BMW's, KTM's and the Triumph's. This is...

    Bike Finance BS?

    I have a feeling I'm being ripped off so I'd like to hear some informed opinions here from those in the know. Long story short I'm trading my bike in on another at a dealer, they are settling the finance etc. For the finance they use a financing company and when I got the intial quote the amount...

    5 day meander.....

My intention was to stay off major routes as much as possible and do a scenic trip. Day 1: Hermanus to Prince Albert. I loaded up and headed from Home...

    Longish trip planned

    I'm lucky enough to have 2 weeks for a ride coming up in September. My plan is to ride from our place in Gansbaai to my dad's place near Richmond in KZN. I plan to spend about 3 days there and then ride back again. I don't want to rush, want to stay off the main highways as much as I can, hit...
