Middelpos Basaar, 14 Sep @ 0900. Flowers, passes, fun...! :) https://www.facebook.com/MiddelposBasaar With luck I might be around / in country and free to head into the Karoo...

I bought this several years back, just never got round to mounting it. As it's taking up space and I can't see myself needing it in the near future, it's time for it to go... Brand new, complete with carrier bag, rain cover, shoulder strap, mounting ring and associated hardware (that gets...

Driving my dad around the fairest Cape for a bit of a holiday. First spotted this on Helshoogte Pass: As we were going up, a traffic cop bike was coming down, followed in short order by three superbikes. Didn't seem like they were riding together at this stage. Later, as we were enjoying the...

Just wanting to confirm really... Sometimes in recent times when I start the bike, the RID resets (goes off, comes back on and clock shows 0:00), and the starter makes a solid clunk noise. Bike fires up after that. I suspect my battery is on its way out. Have a new one at the ready - time to...

I'm looking for one of those trolleys that the bike's centre stand stands on, allowing you to maneuvre the bike around and into tight spots. My garage is getting a bit toight, and manhandling the big beast to make things fit isn't pleasant... Any pointers appreciated, W. Cape preferred...

Replaced my Heidenau tyres today with Anakee II. Very happy with the Heidis, but seems I'm riding more tar than anything else recently... Going to be keeping the rear for future use, and will happily be going to a Heidi front when the need arises. Front K60 - 40'000 km done; tyre no longer...

Good for a laugh on some of them!  ;D For the rest, a good few commonplace hazards to look out for. https://www.chosenfewmc.org/101ways.html Numbers 102 to 127 listed at the URL above...

Popped in to my nearest BMW dealer for some coffee and chit-chat this morning. I end parking next to a green Range Rover (previous shape), where a guy is unloading boxes of gear, brand new and seemingly unused. I nod a "morning" at him, but decide to ignore the drawn look on his face as I...

I'm thinking to have some new brake discs made up for the front wheel, as I'm strongly suspecting damage to the right-side disc due to excessive play. This is for a 2004 R1150GS Adventure, with ABS. AFAIK the version is ABS II, i.e. I have the slotted steel ABS sensor ring rather than the...

From https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=98644.msg1974398#msg1974398 TornadoF5, his wife and brave Morgan-Belle are likely heading home on Tuesday 26 June, departing from CPT at 11.50 on flight SA1811. Obviously there's an awful lot of logistics involved in transporting Morgie to the...

A chap - I forget who  ::) - mentioned to me a while back that there's an exhaust off a superbike that'll just slip on to the GSA's Y-piece and provide a nice sound, weight saving and not look too bad. I have in mind it might be a Kawasaki, but honestly cannot recall the details...  >:(...

Following on from my thread https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=94170.0 I'm looking at having a windscreen made by www.wareagle.co.za (Silverline screens). Some info from the site https://www.wareagle.co.za/class/index.php?mi=26&page=products/view_ad.php&ad_no=166 Just chatted to...

My winscreen has developed a crack running almost the full length from front to back on the left side.  :-[ Coupled with some stains from an unknown liquid a passerby spilt (poured?) over the screen, I'm now looking to replace it (before the crack turns into a break on a rattly dirt road). OEM...

I find myself in Christiana for a few weeks. Any WDs around here, or any suggestions of some nice (non-sandy!) routes to do in the early morning? Can't do long rides due to circumstances, but need a little break over the weekends... Else, if there are any WDs passing through here on a trip...

I'm far from home and bike at present, but found some material for a little project I have in mind. Please would an R1150GS Adv owner help me out by measuring the following: * Width of the upturned front "lip" on the sumpguard. * Distance from top of this lip to the top of the horizontal crash...

https://missbikersa.capetownbikefestival.com/?m=2 A few Capies, a few Gauties. We have talent in SA! :)

Random collection of pictures taken during my ride up. Route was: Day 1: Stellebosch - Ceres - Sutherland - Carnarvon Day 2: Carnarvon - Brandvlei - Pofadder Day 3: Poffadder - Vioolsdrif Then - Bash!!  >:D Didn't take a lot of pictures, sadly not even of the corrugations and trucks that...
