Has anybody tried going from Citrusdal past The Baths towards Beaverlac? On Google Earth it looks possible. The green part is the road from Beaverlac to Africa Cottage, the red is the part I am curious about.

A  young colleague bought a XL500 and it has a 23" in front tire. Bike shops don't generally sell these. Anybody know of a place in the Western Cape that might have one of these (he lives in Stellenbosch)? Even a decent second hand one will help him out. He wants to go on a 7 day South of...

Has anybody seen the Michelin type levers at shops around Cape Town? 380mm/15"" length Tracmac has, but it is of the shitty Chinese variety with the lips on both ends not being very pronounced and much thinner than the one below (and F'em they removed the prices from all the products in the...

So the Vanrhynsdorp - Kliprand - Pofadder road ate my subframe (and Boetiebike's subframe and Kawala's screen bracket) Any recommendations for someone that can weld it up and add some gussets? I had a recommendation to do it on the bike, as it can pull skew from the heat if done off the bike...

As an experiment I took off the Scorch silencers and put on a set of OEM silencers. I don't know if the previous owner had another map loaded (Akrapovic map?) or it still had the standard map. Are there any risks of riding it like this? The standard map might be too lean for a fleeflow...

Brand new in original packaging. Tags still on. R1700. Buyer pays for postage. XXL =  Chest 118 – 125 cm  (OK I was ambitious) It is the 2011 model, thus the low(ish) price. Reason for selling: Friend brought it with from Germany and the arms are too long for me, so difficult to return...

any downsides to storing the tire levers like this? The left one is straight and the right one is the curved type. Silicone tubing over the tips. ...and I know the bike is dirty. I'll wash it after Verneukpan.

If you have a ±52-53cm kids helmet that you want to get rid of, let me know please. My 7 year old has a 52cm pip and the 9 year old a 53cm noggin. I have a bike with rear foot pegs again and feel bad having the young ones pillion with an open face helmet. Any other gear that's too small for...

is it a big job? How many $$$ could I expect to pay to have it done? Do you replace the dust seals when doing the bearings? It feels a bit notchy both sides off center, but doesn't stick after 10° off center. for future reference: 53214-KA3-732 DUST SEAL, STEERING HEAD (ARAI) 53214-KZ4-701...

Went past the accident at 6:45. TT600/Tenere lying next to the road about 25m from the crossing and somebody just put in an ambulance. It looks like the bike was going towards Stellenbosch on the R304 and the car turned right in front of it. Dark and raining, not lekker biking weather. Couldn't...

What kind of grease do you use for e.g. the axle, swingarm, wheel bearings, stearing head bearings, etc. Is there a magical one size fits all most that you could use in all applications on a bike, or do the different components need different kinds of grease? My limited knowledge says use a...

Have you ever had any problems with the cops mounting your numberplate on top of the fender I have a  fender extention, but don't know if I like the look or the stability. It might vibrate and catch a lot of wind and/or rear tire what say you?

OK, gaan dit eers met die T4 probeer en as dit nie werk nie 'n ander plan maak Hey guys I'm busy preparing my bike for roadworthy and I doubt if the current ProCircuit T4 will make it. Does anybody have a spare original XR650R exhaust laying around that they want to get rid of, or if you are...

just spoke to someone at their workshop and apparently they closed on Friday? Damn!  I was there last week to look at gloves and commented to the sales guy that their range is much smaller than 2 years ago. He said the NCA was hurting them. Can anyone confirm this? I'm just glad my bike...
