    Did you do it??? ADV Training Course

    All of the Country Trax courses are certified under the BMW International Instructor Academy and you will receive a certificate on completion of each course. Certificates will be either “certificates of participation” or “certificates for successful completion of the courses” - so there is an...

    Did you do it??? ADV Training Course

    I don't have all the scheduled courses for 2023 yet, but there will be an Advanced course at Amersfoort and one at Klipbokkop (near Worcester). There was one at Aberdeen last year, but I doubt that there will be one in 2023.

    Did you do it??? ADV Training Course

    This is a good point 😀 I learned early on that people run out of energy on a 3 day course long before you run out of time. Most people are also at least somewhat tired and with stiff/sore muscles come Monday.

    Did you do it??? ADV Training Course

    We don't have any training planned for Namibia in 2023, but training in Namibia has always been in association with a dealership who took care of bookings etc. The main challenge is to get sufficient numbers to cover travel costs etc. Let's say for example we need 16 riders to justify a course...

    Did you do it??? ADV Training Course

    I'm not so sure about mysterious... 😀 Regarding the various courses and the order in which the courses should ideally be done. Our official recommendation is that the courses be done in this order: Introduction to off-road riding course - 1 Day. This course focusses on the...

    Bakkie/Trailer Parking near East London

    I’m planning a Wild coast trip for me and the missus - Leaving Cape St Francis on the 3rd of June and returning on the 10th. Ideally I would like to start riding in East London, so I’m wondering if anyone has or know of secure parking for my bakkie and trailer in East London or nearby? Thanks...

    Nadene must still have it. She’s in Canada at the moment - 9hrs behind - so will check with her late afternoon.

    Shaun Dickens - Bike Sellers Beware

    She did speak to a lawyer back in 2019. He advised her to not take the bike back from him as that could be interpreted as her accepting the bike as it is. He also advised that she tries the CPA route as that would be far cheaper than the possible legal costs involved when using a lawyer. Also...

    Shaun Dickens - Bike Sellers Beware

    I also have a Shaun Dickens story... it's actually my GF's story, but she is not on here.  Like all stories related to him it is a long story, so I'll just give the gist of it. In 2019 she bought a Husky 450 with a Rally kit from him to do the Kalahari Rally.  He sold it to her as a 2016...

    Thanks Alan.  Me too… but sure someone will be able to assist with a tube or an old tyre. They can get a new tyre on Tuesday in George then [emoji846]

    Or perhaps just a tube and the tools to put the tube in… [emoji3] They are fairly new to this and only have tubeless plugs+co2 canisters.

    170/60/R17 Near Oudtshoorn

    Two friends from the Netherlands are currently touring the Western/Southern Cape on an 1190S and a 650GS. The rear tyre on Wouter’s 1190S is busy falling apart [emoji28] 4 punctures in the last hour. Anyone in the Oudtshoorn area that can assist with a tyre? Even an old tyre that will last till...

    tankwa rally - 1; 990 - 0

    Perhaps a last thought… with “big adventure bike” I mean 1200/1250GS, 1090/1190/1290 KTM. Tankwa will still be a good challenge on a 790/890 KTM, but not “borderline stupid”. The lighter weight and better suspension on these mid-range bikes will make a big difference over the rocks - I recon you...
