Love them or hate them, irrespective they looked cool in Easy Rider and they are part of the biking family. Now the other day I had a look at the new released Triumph Rocket 3 and read a few reviews. In the process of reading one particular review, it struck me - can that bike ever be turned...

It was about 07h40 today, where the Atterbury road crosses the N1. A Duke 390 was standing next to a vehicle parked sideways on the bridge. The rider was standing and looked ok. He had his helmet on. The bike also looked to be in good shape. I kept going as there appeared no visible distress...

I had bought this scoota (Big Boy CGL 150) in 2008 solely for work/home commuting. A cheap, almost disposable machine for which I would not shed a tear if it damages. Besides being light on fuel (approximately 32km/l), it is also nimble and handles city traffic excellently. After I had bought...

My personal observations. There has been some discussion around the exhaust nut removal tool. I many seasons ago removed my first exhaust nut with a screwdriver and a hammer. It was a big screw driver and a heavy hammer and I got it off. Though not without some damage to the nut. The nut is...

I use NGK BP7ES in the BMW R75/5. With the BSA I now have quite a few NGK B7ES plugs. The only difference I can see is that the centre electrode on the B7ES is shorter. Can I put the B7ES plugs in the R75/5, with that shorter electrode? (the one in the picture is “6” - that’s only the heat...

It was pointed out recently, and not without merit (no reproach here at all) that I haven’t done a ride report myself for long time. This was a very impromptu ride. I can do a comfortable 350 km on a full tank. But this was a local jol, out on some of the roads east of Pretoria. Very short...

I know of Air Age in Pta West. Any more shops in Pretoria that can assist with new slip-ons (a BMW 1100)? Make them / stock them?

This was my third go at welding. I was given a welding machine more than a year ago. Since then I have welded on two occasions two pieces of metal together. I watched quite a few videos on the net, read articles and listened to a few people. It all seemed fairly easy. I know there are master at...

As we know, there will be another version.

This afternoon I switched my ’77 R80/7 on again after a hiatus of almost two years.  I first replaced all the oils, charged the battery and she took with the first ignition. I took it gently. Nursed her back to life by closing the throttle after the first three or so seconds and repeating the...

I have seen discussions in this line in the past and did a bit of a search, but was not successful. Anyway, time has elapsed since those discussions and new products most likely have appeared on the market. So here goes: I have a Bosch PSB 650 RE. I have had it for about 14 years and was quite...

I have various (as in many, many) imperial spanners and sockets. Some have stamped “A/F’, others “BSF”, others “W”, others “BSW”, others just indented with the fractions and no lettering. It is for a 1970 A50 Royal Star. I understand that at that stage (1970) they were already quite standardised...
