Hi All, I bought 3 books, but they can only be delivered to an SA address. Is there anyone coming up to Namibia who'd be willing to bring it? Just 3 normal soft-cover books. Thanks!

Hi All, So I'll be heading down to SA to ride the Sea to Sea enduro and then a bit of holiday in two weeks time.  Roaming data costs will bankrupt me so what is the easiest & best bang for buck way to get connected in SA.  I have a dual sim phone, so plan is just to get a SA sim for data?  Any...

Good Morning, Anyone coming up to Nam that wouldn't mind bringing a small package (Klim backpack) with? Ruan

Hi, Are there any vendors that stock Klim products?  I'm looking for a Nac Pak backpack. Thanks!

It was independence weekend in Namibia, and what better way to celebrate it than by experiencing beautiful Namibia by motorbike.  A while back I was chatting to BoskakBruce while he was planning his epic ride and after reading his report on going to Serra Cafema our minds were made up.  Seeing...

Read an interesting topic on ADVRider, regarding blitz travel vs slow exploration. I used to be a smell the roses, purist, ride the bike to where you want to go kind of guy.  Life then happened spectacularly over the last decade or so, career took off, ongoing education, started a family, moved...

Day 1 Lock-down was pretty tough on all of us.  Work stress, family stress, uncertainty gnawing at your bones all day.  All of us know the feeling of being cooped up, so not even going to talk about that.  We managed to slip out of town and go camping in the rivers around Windhoek once or twice...

I started the "Adventurising a EXC 500" thread over here: https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=219441.0 Saw a bunch of people harping on about how the 500 is actually not perfect for everyone and also not the end-all or be-all of adventure riding (utter blasphemy :dousing:), so thought...

Hi everyone, I only have the black key for my '07 990S.  Is there any way to duplicate this key, or what would one need to do? Thanks!

Hi everyone, Need some help sourcing a helmet - which shops in Joburg stocks these?  https://www.foxracing.co.za/V2-Mastar-Helmet-197075.html I'm flying in from Namibia on Friday and would like to buy two of these bad boys.  Contacted Fox's online shop to try and arrange delivery but not...

Prologue An unsupported trip through South-West Angola on KTM EXC 500 Enduro bikes.  That was what we wanted to do and that was what we were going to do.  But first, introductions are in order.  We (Myself, Heiko and Adrian) met through a riding group that did Sunday outrides, your typical...

So, I'm biting the bullet and getting a 500 EXC to join my 990.  Idea is to use the 500 for stuff like Kaokoland, Botswana cut lines and Angola.  Tours will range from between 7 to 14 days and I want to be able to rough-camp where necessary. I've decided not to sell my 990, as I'll keep that...

Somehow I'm not asking google the right questions - what does the numbering on screw part numbers mean.  Take the following for example: HH COLLAR SCREW M 8X16 WS=10 I assume 8 is diameter and 16 is gauge? Is the 10 length?  In what unit? What does the HH and the M stand for?

Hi Chris & Team, Recently took your 5L cells across VZP and through Kaokoland and they stood up fantastically well, survived a couple of tip overs on the rocks.  Awesome product and great value for money, can't recommend it enough.  There is just one change I recommend you make to the design...

Hi All, Need a lift for a small package from RAD Moto to Windhoek.  It's a 990 swingarm repair kit (couple of bearings, seals and spacers). Anyone?

I'm busy re-installing my swingarm (had to get a seized chain adjuster bolt drilled out :dousing:). Problem I have is that as soon as I torque it to 130nm I can barely move the swingarm.  Almost like I'm missing a spacer or something, but for the life of me I can't recall seeing one when I took...

Hi, My rear shock has sprung a very small leak, so I figured now would be as good a time as any to get it serviced.  What sort of costs am I looking at? I got quoted what seems an batshit crazy amount (R23K - I have requested clarity on that).  For what it's worth this is what the quote...

Pretty much what the topic says.  I see the EVS G6 is practically half the price of the Leatt.  Is it half as good?  Or should I rather buy the more expensive Leatt?  Unfortunately no stock in Namibia so cannot test either, have to buy unseen, hoping someone has used both?

We did a four day ride recently, Windhoek - Spitzkoppe - Messum - Ugab. Here is a short teaser video - will post the longer one when done. https://youtu.be/fr4cuYhyhi0 Enjoy!

Hi Dogs, Need a lift for two 5L fuel cells + mounting brackets from CT to Windhoek. Thanks!
