Does anyone have/know of a back wheel for a Triumph Street Scrambler/Thruxton/Bonneville around 2009 models 860/900. I'm looking for one to upgrade my Bonneville. They all fit my swingarm.

I've heard some rumors, holding company has sold them. Could this be why Triumph has gone their own way?  :patch:

Happy Birthday Louis ou Chom! May that XR600R run like a Garrett forever there on the Vrystaat flets. Happy happy, kom ons braai!

Derek "Nobby" Clark passed away aged 81. The Rhodesian was a GP mechanic to Mike Hailwood, Agostini, Kenny Roberts. He worked on the Honda 125 5-cylinder, 250 6-cylinder and 500 4-cylinder bikes, then the Yamaha 500's. A man that was both mischievous and passionate about the work he did. He was...

Somewhere in my addled memory bank, someone here in SA made the big double headlight fitting that looked like the Baja XR racers. Does anyone remember who it was and if they were LED lights or not?

Joh! You chose the day well! Have a Happy Birthday, and a Lekker Friday. Choon those XR's and DR's lekker today!

So I got home last Thursday to find I had broken a spoke on my Bonneville, which I mentioned in my Lekker Friday drivel. To which I was told to bring it around on Saturday by Dux. I duly did this on Saturday at about 11am. By 1pm I was on my way home with Bob (Buddy's old Bonneville), with new...

Now I know the "10 Dollar head for a 10 Dollar helmet" will be raised at some point, but have you seen the prices of Arai Helmets lately? I just cannot believe that it's okay to pay that sort of price for a helmet anymore, and I'm thinking they are pricing themselves out the market. Now I need...

Last Sunday evening, I caught The Bike Show on DSTV, the one where Donovan was ballasbakking at Silvestone. Anyway, the two Poms were ooohing and aaaahing over two Crossley's that look like British bikes, but are made in China (now I know 2SD will say German bikes too - but that's another...

So I heard this over the weekend : KTM on Friday, ATM on Monday  :) Just thought I'd share what I found quite funny. At no time is this an attempt to bash KTM's or promote BMW (Bring Mechanic With). If I offend anyone, please think why you are offended, and remember that I really don't care if...

So here's the 2017 model https://www.dirtrider.com/2017-honda-xr650l Pity our bureaucracy is sooo short sighted and lead by the nose by eurocrats  :dousing:

This weekend is Cape Town's turn for International Classic Racing at Killarney. There'll be an attempt on the outright motorcycle lap record with a MotoGP Ducati Desmosedici most probably ridden by Mick Grant, multiple Isle of Man TT winner - they will try for a 1min 10sec lap time for the 4.2km...

Just had a report that the temporary bridge over the M1 has collapsed. M1 closed both directions.

Read in the Motoring section of IOL that there is a Cape Bike Expo at Timor Hall in the Southern Suburbs this Sunday 15 March from 10am to 3pm. Apparently most of the big brands are involved, as well as accessories. Timor Hall is in Timor Rd/St. I'll pop-in to show support so hopefully this...

I was sitting on Sunday evening considering the fact that after 280km I was pretty close to reserve on my 23L tank. I then thought back on the riding that I had done over the past few days. On tar I'd seen 160km/hr a number of times, and on the dirt my back wheel had been spinning quite often...

There I was, bombing along the R300 on the way to work this morning, Braaaaaap, with a Judas Priest ditty bouncing around in my head. And then it struck me again, Dammit, I smaak my XR!! The smile factor just gets better. Enjoy your weekend. Have fun! Buddy

I believe PaulE had a slight altecation with a female mountain biker who rode across in front of him on the weekend. PaulE has broken bones in his hand and wrist and is being operated on this afternoon. I believe they ended up in the long grass together. Smooth Paul, very smooth!
