I've been considering some body armor for a while. After this weekend's ride, and taking an hour yesterday washing red dust out of my adventure jacket, I'm considering it even more. I'm figuring at the speeds I ride dirt, the body armor with a MX shirt should be enough upper body protection...

I need something to take and make phone calls on the bike. Audio quality doesn't have to be that good. Rider to rider and music not important. As long as I can connect it to my Garmin and get some directions, and more importantly take and make phone calls without having to get to my phone and...

Ride last night went later than I expected, and wanted to make a quick call to the wife. Too much of a mission. Stop, get to my phone, remove gloves and helmet, and 30 seconds later put phone away, helmet and wet gloves back on. I'm looking at getting a Cardo to make it simpler. A secondary...

I'm listening to the latest episode of Adventure Rider Radio podcast now (E7 - 8 March). As a South African, not the most interesting episode, but Wilddog forum got a mention. (y)

First service is coming up, after that I'll do some more off-road than I've put it through up to now. Some by myself. Figuring that I'd rather not phone someone to come fetch me when there's a puncture or something "simple" to fix, a more comprehensive tool-kit might be worth it. Watched a...

Before I start looking online to order, I figured I'll find out if someone has one lying around they would sell. I have one of those bar/mirror RAM mounts for the garmin, but would like to replace it with a bar mount (22mm). Would prefer to get the one in the image below, but depending on price...

Posted this in the XL500 thread as well, but first NX500 video I see on my YouTube suggestions...

I'm considering buying a Zumo XT at some point. They seem to be slowly dropping in price (see them at R8500 now), but that's still a lot of money so if I can find a decent 2nd hand one and save some money I'd be happy. If anyone has a Zumo to sell, please let me know. Although the XT would be...

Was wondering whether there are any downsides or potential issues buying a new bike from an "independent" bike store rather than directly from a Suzuki/KTM/Honda dealership. I'm assuming a place like Biker's Warehouse is an authoriser reseller, so there shouldn't be any issues, right?

What is the general consensus on advertised price vs selling price and the negotiations on a price. A friend bought a bike a couple of months ago for about 70% of the asking price after a couple of emails. (Not on the forum) He wasn't pushing the seller, the seller actually kept on dropping the...

Recently bought T4A maps to check how it works. I have a Garmin Nuvi in the car for day-to-day use that I prefer to keep on the Garmin maps and settings. Thought I'd see whether the T4A maps will work on two older Nuvi's I had lying around that has outdated maps. Played around with the old units...

Not that I'm convinced yet that the 300 rally will be something to seriously consider, but since seeing that it was actually coming in small numbers, I was wondering what does it take to be put on a waiting list. I'm assuming some sort of deposit is required? How much is this usually? Is this...

Since I've been looking at getting back on 2 wheels, my 11 year old son has also been wanting to ride. He's comfortable on a MTB, so balance is fine. He knows the theory of clutch, gears and clutch control, but only in theory with NO experience (he even decided that he needed to watch YouTube to...

I only read Noneking's ride report from the 2019 Namibia trip yesterday. Ridiculous ride report is 4 years old, wasted half of my working day yesterday reading through 50 pages, and forced me to finish my day early to go to Outdoor Warehouse and buy T4A's Namibia Guide. I also suspect it will be...

I decided that my next bike will probably be a DR650/DRZ400/XR650 (might even consider KLR, Dakar, or G650X depending on what I find), but the prices people are asking (if you find any) are ridiculous from the last time I had a look in this category (10 years ago). I see that the topic of prices...

I guess you're all tired of "what should I buy" threads, so I won't ask that. I'll go with - what should I consider? I ride, priorities change, I sell, I itch, I buy, repeat... That's kind of been the trend. The break in riding is often many years. We're now at the "itch" step in the process...
