:mad: My job for today was to replace fork oil on the S10. Done this on other bikes but never on this one and it seems a gorilla tightened up the end cap of the left fork ... with the result that I managed to mangle the damn thing trying to loosen it. Right hand side was easy. FFS! Going to be...

Chatting to a mate of mine in the construction business on Friday afternoon after he closed for the year he mentioned he needed to head down to the southern Cape to take a look some or other development. He was considering riding his bike down but wasn't keen to travel on his own down the N1...

Anyone had a go at fixing/replacing the "buttons" on the front floating brake rotor? There is plenty meat left on the blade of mine but the play between outer and inner parts of the disk makes it sound like I'm smuggling a tin bucket of nuts and bolts up front somewhere. Not sure that much play...

Another "sommer net because we can" get-together in Clarens as discussed briefly in the Freestate Bash thread. For those who'd like to join the guild , here is your chance. Book the date so long ... I'll get going on making arrangements for where to stay and where we'll skop as well as some...

Anyone experienced a leak through the bead and come up with a solution other than putting in a tube. I have kukked off getting a new E07 off and on twice now to clean up the rim and hoping there is some other trick I can try. It is just a small leak with the tire losing all air in about 24 hours...

Noticed on our recent trip that the rear has a crack in it (the bike ...not the hairy one I've had since birth) Looking for a gold rim unless someone has a set of a different color at a good price

I had to replace the OEM RHS headlight plug with a pigtail about a year ago because it was just falling apart. This weekend I pulled the S10 out just before sunrise for a quick spin and the headlights popped with no warning. Thought it might be a fuse and parked the bike till I had some time to...

R800 onco. Bought this from a fellow dog several years back but never used it. Almost brand new....I think he used it once. 550 x 500 x 320 (l x w x h) so it is not small. Black ripstop canvas. Zips, straps, interior & exterior still  perfect condition. Eastern Freestate but happy to...

Maybe I am just dof, but for the life of me I can't figure how these bar-end inserts work . I don't see how tightening the thing up results in expansion in the tube ??? Sent from my BV9500 using Tapatalk

So because I'm probably going to be changing out or replacing the odd part on this bike it probably makes sense to keep it all in one place rather than a new thread every time Got the bike with risers which I'm not a fan of. Anyone know where I might find a standard set? New or used. Also happy...

Quite surprised by how tall this little Tornado is even with all the suspension settings on "low". Anyone put longer dogbones on one of these? Where did you get them? Did they negatively affect the handling?

Anyone know where a set might be sourced? ... asking for a friend who's almost brand new boney was involved in a sidestand incident before he installed the handguards his mate had so kindly transported for him :( Can get OEM but if shorty's are available, might as well do now Sent from my...

Looking for two cleanish little Honda Tornadoes preferably unmolested by mods Sent from my BV9500 using Tapatalk

Bike has developed a horrible splutter at low revs along with the odd hectic backfire. Pulls like a steam train and is great to ride at anything over 2.5k, but any lower than that and it's a dog...which makes anything off the tar shyte to ride. Checked spark plugs and air filter and they look...

Any dogs in the area know the current condition of this road ?Moving to Clarens in this next week and will be pulling a 4 bike trailer . R26 from Frankfort side is totally stuffed and I'm sure with this rain the  roadworks on the Sasolburg-Heilbron stretch are going to be a muddy mess. :( Safe...

If you have your old one lying around and would like to ship it, I'll take it off your hands Scortch which blew up that was on the bike when I got it became obnoxiously loud and what is on there now is worse. I must be getting old because I want quiet on all my bikes Sent from my BV9500 using...

If anyone has replaced and still have your old one lying around I'd like to take it off your hands. Jhb area Sent from my BV9500 using Tapatalk

So ....inspired by @eberhard 's persistence with beautiful Beeza of his (and to keep myself busy and out trouble) I've started on as simple and cheap a bike as I could find . Sent from my BV9500 using Tapatalk

Anyone know where one might go for a few startup trials riding lessons?  :ricky:
