Got this bike sitting in the garage, would enjoy the garage space. She has not run for a few years, motor turned over last time I tried, but did not start.  Carbs are off at the moment as the floats had stuck open due to non use.  They were however rebuilt not long before that with new...

I think it is not cool for flying brick to advertise using the forum as they do.  Why can't they use the classified section like everyone else.

So my XCX has 13000 km on it, fairly  hard riding, and she has started to throw up a few concerning gremlins.  Blown main fuse:  A few weeks back the bike started then died completely after a few seconds. We are talking morse dood here. If it was not nailed to the perch it would be pushing up...

So Kitty is a little hard on tyres chomping through an  EO7 in only 10000km. Loved this tyre but was wondering should I do the  same again or try something  different? Also where is the best place to buy tyres in Cape Town?

:thumleft: Huge thanks to Andrew and the team from MHM Triumph Cape Town for a very hot but fantastic day of dirt riding. 455 km, breakfast in Darling after riding some hectic dirt to get there, then dirt to Picketberg for a fuel topup and then lots of excellent dirt (including scary soft sand)...

Having bought an XCX a few months ago  (already done 3500 km) I am having a blast just  getting out there and riding as much dirt as I can find.  This bike loves the stuff (it also loves the tar twisties) and its incredible how much fun you can have out there.   This last weekend, while riding...

My fun is what I call "Numb-butt" day rides out  of Cape Town taking in as much gravel and twisty passes as possible, doing about 300 or more km in 4 or 5 hrs  and getting back home before the family misses me.  The idea is to ride and ride and ride, one stop for a meal and refuel,  maybe one...

I have a friend who is always asking me "Should I get a bike".... What are your philosophies about why you ride a bike…what advice would you give.  Mine are: -  Nope do not get one, they are really dangerous  (I don't want his wife blaming me over his coffin),  its a choice each person has to...

After the road rage shooting today, and because I often read about bikers on this forum knocking off mirrors, etc  I was wondering who road rages on their bike.  Personally I ride a bike because in the car I go bananas and drive very aggressively.   I get so frustrated in the car with all the...

Discovered my favourite piece of tar in the Western Cape this last weekend,  22km of bliss - blind corners, smooth tar, blind dips, lovely little straights, even a long bit you can get up to full speed on if you have the balls.....just watch out for the wildlife.  After doing this a few times...
