    Would you? Trade ATAS for T7?

    Most probably just a gatjeuk flare up, but can't help but to like the Yamaha T7. Funny enough I like gadgets, which my Africa Twin Adv. Sports has lots of. The T7 has none of that. Recently got the boys an XR125 which I got to ride to a weekend destination two weeks ago. Round trip of about...

    Asemskep in Anysberg - 'n bakkie trip

    'n Mens moenie korter ry as wat dit geneem het om te pak nie. En 'n kampstoel sal lekker wees. Plus ek wil my groot kamera en 'n verkyker inpak. Ys en 'n koue bier klink ook nie sleg nie. Met 'n paar dae verlof op hande, en 'n bedrywige paar maande by die werk, kan ek voel my breekpunt moet...

    Hi all A friend of mine (paraplegic) has bought a new car and is looking for a throttle (with cable, not ride-by-wire) to use in converting the car to his needs. He's not going to sell his old car so that throttle unit (built by his dad back then) will remain in place. I will try to get a...

    Oukloof voor Krismis

    Die jaar twintig-twee-en-twintig. Wat 'n knewel. Veral werksgewys was dit 'n uitdagende, maar tog vervullende jaar vir my. 'n Nuwe pos en werk op verskillende aanlegte, 'n stewige leerkurwe inderdaad. Volgende jaar se take en hul sperdatums is reeds pragtig en puntsgewys uitgesit vir wanneer...

    Sederberg omswerwinge

    "Ja OK, dis reg vir die week se verlof, maar onthou die week daarna is dit die groot oudit so dan moet jy asseblief weer terug wees. Geniet dit."  Terwyl sy handtekening se ink droog word op my verlofvorm, sluit ek die Vrydagmiddag my kantoor.  Ek hoop net my verlofaansoek word op soortgelyke...

    Plathuis op 'n Sondag. 'n Kort RR.

    Daar is mos iets anders aan 'n Sondag.  Die huis hang gewoonlik vol koffie en varkspek en roosterbrood.  Ek girts die blindings oop en die luiwarm winterson glinster op die sneeubedekte Klein-Swartberge.  Word mens ooit moeg van dit?  “Ek dog jy’s al weg?” hoor ek my vrou sê.  “Ek gaan my Ma...

    Let's talk riding jackets & pants

    When finance allows in the hopefully not too distant future, I’m thinking of getting a new riding jacket and pants.  My BMW Rallye suit has served me extremely well over the last ±10 years but perhaps my recent acquisition of a Honda Africa Twin has sparked the itch for something else! So who’s...

    Short circuited Li-Ion battery - advice please

    OK so the dumbass award goes to... me!  Torqued the positive battery head and the #10 wrench touched a nearby engine bolt, to the effect that the wrench almost got "welded" to it!  Bike as dead as a doornail.  With the manual at hand I checked all the fuses under the seat as well as those under...

    Padkamp met die Karretjie: 'n Karoo Toer

    "Weet jy waar ons vannaand slaap?"  Nee, sê ek.  "Toemaar moenie worry nie, ek weet ook nie." sê Chris.  En so trek ons toe weg op 'n onvergeetlike paar dae se rondry in die Karoo.  Dit was omtrent "long overdue", maar soos baie al weet was daar 'n paar manne op die forum wat saamgewerk het om...

    Merweville

    Merweville.  Hoeveel keer het ek jou nie al deurkruis nie? Bo van Theekloofpas se rigting. Die mooie Rammelkoppas. Vanaf Koupstasie of sommer met die plaaspaaie vol skaapspoortjies.  En toe nou die keer – met die grootpad.  Netjies geteer vanaf Prins Albert Stasie.  Die keer ry ons nie deur...

    Concrete & DPC: advice please from the building guru's

    Would appreciate some input from those in the trade please: I plan on casting a concrete slab over well compacted old bricks and pavers.  Have been doing similar slabs and toppings in other areas with great results.  However this one will be higher than the house's DPC and my neighbour (handyman...

    Houtwerk navraag: "Dust Extraction & Chip Collection"

    Ek soek 'n bietjie raad asb by die houtwerk manne: chip collection en dust extraction. Wat werk en wat nie, en is dit nodig vir die "weekend woodworker"? Tans het ek net 'n extractor fan (gewone ceiling fan) in een venster gemonteer wat baie help om fyn stof uit te suig uit die garage. Saagsels...

    Advice on using a SDS Rotary Hammer Drill

    Morning all I recently bought a Ryobi rotary hammer drill from a friend (R500 bargain!) in what appears to be a like-new condition.  Even thought it's for home/DIY use I generally like to maintain my tools to the best of my ability and would like to know two things: 1.  The manual isn't very...
