I am selling my immaculate 2016 Africa Twin DCT with a lot of extras. It's the tricolour version, the real Africa Twin colours. I have ridden it once only since 11 November 2021, a sad state of affairs indeed but time is few. It is the best bike I have ever owned and I am really sorry to let...

I have taken to keeping my workshop compressor charged (filled) when not in use as it's always a pain in the neck to run it before being able to pump a tyre of similar. Is this bad for it? Can it destroy seals eventually? What say you clever okes.

I am about to finally vacate my farm and have a few things I am about to toss on the dump. If you are interested, make me an offer and collect within the next 2 weeks please. I do not have time right now to Postnet them unfortunately. MotoZ 17" rear tyre off my XT660Z Teneré, got some good...

Why would you buy a toy for a million bucks?  This is just crazy. Truly.

So this morning I serviced my Bushlander.  When I lubed the cables with my cable luber megêfter that I bought from Main Yamaha in 1980 and which still works like a bomb, I started looking around my workshop at the good solid tools I have bought/inherited/got gifted and that I regularly use...

Bike spares and parts prices are getting scary. A while back I managed somehow to get a small rock caught behind the countershaft sprocket cover on my Bushlander.  It broke the lower bolt mounting but I managed to repair it with Pratley Steel.  A week or 2 ago this again happened, this time a...

I couldn't find a funny pix thread. As in hahaha. Not as in "peculiar". We need more humor and less strange these days.

Now and then I take a ride to town or to Nieu-Bethesda for breakfast. Nothing serious, a slowish dawdle. For rides like this, it's a hassle to dress up in full ATGATT. Any thoughts on riding shoes (sneakers?) that offer more protection than, for instance, hiking boots? Even shorty boots may be...

Anti-poaching units are being equipped with electric bikes to improve their stealth abilities when tracking poachers.  Now if only they could plug those bastid poachers into the bike and administer justice on the spot.  Now THAT would be progress indeed...

I was quite impressed with this intelligent combination of natural recyclable materials and edible contents for a helmet Gretha would be proud of.

I searched for a thread specifically for landscape pix but came up blank.  If there is one, can this thread be merged with it please. Feel free to add your own pix too guys.

I have a white front mudguard and the grey RHS tank fender for an XT660Z Teneré for sale.  I don't have the bike any longer and these are cluttering my workshop.  Make me an offer please. Gerard Pix coming soon

I had my rims and spokes replaced by Honda so have a set of gold rims from my 2018 Africa Twin plus the Dunlop Trailmax tyres it came out with, for sale.  Slight rust on the spokes but nothing serious.  No discs or ABS ring included, only rims with spokes and the tyres. R6500 neg.  Can courier...

Aan. Af. Aan. Af. Aan. Af. Weskus. Suidwes, Oranjerivier, Namakwaland. Loeriesfontein. Vosburg. Prieska. Verneukpan. Oos-Vrystaat. Royal Natal Park. Pofadder. Williston. So het ek my kaart en BaseCamp al uitgeslyt soos ek sien hoe kan ek die verste lekkerste ry.  My aanvanklike plan was om...

This time next week I'll be 60 and a few days. For too many years now I have been threatening to attend the Koës Rally. Also bemoaning the fact that it has been too many years since I have visited this unique country in which I spent so much time long ago. So yesterday, I thought, screw it...

'n Maat stuur vir my dié video.  Dit lyk baie doeltreffend en werk ook in motorfietsbande.  Het iemand dit al gebruik?  Enige terugvoering.  Dit lyk beslis na 'n oplossing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwWvEBQsNtQ

I have always had an avid interest in history, especially that of our country and volk the Afrikaners.  (Let's not get into an argument of Afrikaners vs Boere  :)) The destruction of South Africa and the erasure of everything related to my history, culture, language, the renaming of anything...

That the world has gone totally crazy is no longer up for debate.  Sometimes I wonder at the absolute arrogant ignorance of the psychopaths in governments though. A few news items to make us thankful our very own psychopaths are too incompetent to ever implement crap like this here: *...

While washing my bike last weekend (it was covered in locust gloop  :patch:) I noticed that both my radiators, especially the RH one, had a few dents in them from stones thrown up.  A few guys have posted about this, I always assumed it was not much of a threat.  I have changed my mind though, a...
