    All my previous bikes, were in good condition and I tried to keep them that way. Since I sold my GS, I've been looking for a 2 stroke as I have never owned one, except for a Vespa in 1959.

    Idling speed on 93 GS airhead

As I was worried about my timing, as well as the...

    Short george meander

    Sunday morning and I decided to miss church and bond with (my) Gods creation, nature. The starting point, George dam was closed to bikes and quads. (Try to keep the peace, Norms) This was a getaway ride due to family and an intended braai, it needed to be very short. Second choice.

    What headlight wattage for R80GS

    My headlight bulb needs replacing and I would like to install a 100 watt instead of a 60/55 standard bulb. Autozone only have a 130 watt, besides the standard one, but told me I need a relay as it could burn out my switch. The way I see it the 130 watt bulb would draw 10.83 amps at 12 volts, and...

    The airhead I would give a LB for !

    In 1983, I attended a BMW rally in East London. Besides being at a time of petrol restrictions and a national drought in the area, the highlight of the weekend was the unveiling of a brand new Krauser converted  R100RS in mother of pearl, which some rich farmer had ordered.  It was a beauty to...

She stalled the bike twice on the upclimb and dropped it. No damage to her or the bike. Riding a new Sertao for a...

I left the wife, rushed out and chatted to the guys, who told me about the trip they had just been on. I was surprised to hear that there's a wack of GS airheads still around, plus they are a...
