    The Internet thinks you are on the wrong bike

    Funny thing is that most of us almost never go offroad, just off tar and onto dirt road ;)

    The Internet thinks you are on the wrong bike

    My Scottish riding buddy and I recently discussed the concept over a beer. We both have GS' and we both have XR's. We both agree that if we wouldn't attempt something on the GS we most likely won't on the XR either. I use the XR on more dirt oriented trips because it's cheaper to repair and...

    Criminals targeting motorcyclists on the R300 and N2 in Cape Town

    I think the idea of intimidation by way of mass ride along the highways of the cape flats is hilarious. Just imagine middle aged white dudes on fancy bikes trying to scare people who live in gangster paradise.

    KTM deurskynende tenks word bruin?

    I clean my tank with thick bleach (toilet cleaner) periodically. It seems to slow the process a bit.

    Pricing! Where is it going?

    The Rand was worth .86 Dollar in 1977 so that R5700 amounted to $4900. Coverting it back at R18 to the dollar $4900 becomes R88 236 in current value. According to at least one website in the US, car price inflation over this period was 236.14%. That means if you could still buy the 3.0S it...

    BUT I AM YOUR CLIENT !

    I'm responsible for a large number of clients and recently I was asked by a smaller and very demanding client to attend a workshop. I divided my day into equal parts in line with what each client pays monthly. To his horror I confirmed that he may have 5 minutes.

    BMW GS/GSA 1250 accessories/upgrades……share yours

    As a motorcycle accessory, a farkle is named after the combination of “function” and “sparkle.” It has also been interpreted as a backronym of Fancy Accessory, Really Kool, Likely Expensive. Unlike simple decorations, farkles are so-named because they add a dash of glamour to the motorcycle...

    How many of You commute?

    At the moment I don’t own a car but I also don’t need to commute daily. If I do have meetings in the city I prefer the bike simply because it’s much quicker than being stuck on the N1 for 2 hours. Before the UK and COVID I would use the bine or car depending on my mood but it generally worked...

    Top Box....Pros and Cons?

    My topbox is always on the GSA. There are however some rules: 1. No pressurised liquids, ever and for for any distance. I learnt my lesson with Cappies & Coke - took all of 2km smooth dirt for them to explode. 2. Nothing heavy, it’s not a venter trailer. My basic tool pack is mounted somewhere...

    Tyres and Tools

    You only need to get stuck in the middle of nowhere once to learn that a complete set of tools to change/repair tyres is not expensive. The worst case for me is getting stuck in the middle of nowhere because someone I ride with is not equipped to sort out their own bike. I definitely do not...

    SNOW FOAM

    For the drying I bought a pet dryer from Amazon - it's like combination between a hair dryer and a blower with variable heat and speed. Best addition to my cleaning kit ever. It clears water from places I didn't know existed. My dryer is similar to the photo below.

    SNOW FOAM

    I use the Karcher foam but not as a fire and forget solution. I rinse the bike, then apply foam, clean thoroughly with soft brush and cloth, rinse again and dry. I does not really clean chain etc. That I do prior with chain cleaner and lube after wash.
