This would've my first (and sadly) last real offroad adventure trip with my F800 GSA. The planned route would have leaving Cape Town and had us hitting the dirt just after Touwsrivier, heading through Prins Albert, over the Swartberg pass and down into Gamkaskloof - DieHel where we would camp...

Folks it looks like I will need to sell my F800 GSA in the near future and I was wondering what a reasonable asking price would be? 2014 model with 3500kms, extras - topbox, Bashplate, upper crash bars, ram gps mount.

Hi guys this is my first attempt at a ride report and my trip through Namibia seems worthy of my first attempt. I have been working in Brazil for the last 7 weeks and flew into Windhoek on my way home. The guys at Karoo biking hooked me up with a BMW R1200GS Adv fitted with a set if Mitas...

Hi guys, Is there anyone out there who is able to provide cross border bike transport? I would like to get my bike and riding gear from Cape Town to Windhoek in June.

I am planning a trip through Southern Namibia down to Cape Town and would appreciate any tips and advice from fellow WD's of places to go and things to do in Namibia. I'll be flying in to Windhoek from overseas and renting a BMW R1200GS LC with pannier bags and ortlieb bag. A rough plan for...

Good day Folks, Does anyone know of any bike rental companies in Namibia? I will be flying in to Namibia and would like to rent a bike to do some touring before flying back home to Cape Town.

Fellow WD's, I'm hoping you can let me know if my 2014 F800GSA has a AGM battery, and if it is worth setting my Ctek charger to the AGM setting. I posted this thread in the general technical section with a picture of the Ctek charger: https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=149331.0 I'm...

Quick question, I have a Ctek MXS 7 which I use to charge my offroad trailer battery and 4x4 battery, is there any good reason why I shouldn't use this charger to keep my bikes battery fully charged if it is going to be standing for a couple of months in the garage? Sent from my iPhone using...

Hey Guys, I found a thread like this on a 4x4 forum and it was very popular so I thought I'd have a go at starting one here. Basically the idea is to post updates about what you did with your beloved bike today, anything from fitting farkle's to giving it a good wash, to taking it out for a...

I have noticed that I get quite a lot of wind noise and 'buffeting' while riding and I was wondering if any other WD's out there have fitted an Aero-Trim to their F800 Adventure? Any pics and first hand information would be appreciated.  :thumleft: I am sure my Helmet is part of the problem...

I am thinking about installing upper crash bars on my F800 GSA and that got me wondering about why BMW never installed upper crash bars like they do on the 1200GSA  ??? Did they design the standard OEM crash bars on the F800 GSA to offer enough protection to protect the upper radiator shroud, I...

I stopped in at the flying brick in Cape Town yesterday to buy a tank bag and ended up walking out with a tank bag and a really nice pair of XKulcha riding trousers. These trousers are locally made which I think is absolutely awesome, and fantastic quality. They fit comfortably and the padding...

Hey folks, after a long break I'm getting back into the biking world, and more specifically the world of adventure / dual sport biking. I'm taking delivery of my BMW F800GSA tomorrow. Superstoked! First up on the agenda I'd like to do a basic road riding course to make sure I start off...
