My vriende het op verlede jaar se Bybelgenootskap se Word Rider toer een aand met die plan begin- julle weet mos wat gebeur as iemand op 'n dag sê: "Wat van ons..." Wat van ons gaan toer deur Botswana en Namibië as die skole volgende jaar vir die Julie vakansie sluit? Ek het toe nog net die...

Goeiemiddag Honne. Ek sit met 'n reuse krisis ier by Eastgate by Buitepos. MY R1150GS se Driveshaft seël lek 'n helse klomp olie, en ons gaan nie verder kan ry nie. Is daar enige iemand met raad hoe ek my fiets op 'n lorrie SA toe kan kry? Hoe ek my en vroulief in SA kan kry? EK hoor die seël...

So koop ek mos toe my  :snorting: verlede jaar April, nadat 'n vriend 'n paar van ons uitgedaag het om saam met 'n paar pelle deur Botswana en Namibië te gaan draai in hierdie komende Julie skoolvakansie. Die Varkie het hom mooi gedra sover. Ek het net een probleempie opgetel. Ek het net die...

Ek ry my varkie nou so bietjie meer as 'n jaar. Nou met die aanbreek van die winter begin die battery skielik pap raak. Ek en vriende is oor 2 1/2 weke op pad Namibie toe, en ek wil nie tussen die olifante beland met 'n dooie battery nie... netnou spoel dit oor na my toe ook... Nou my gewone...

Goeiemiddag al die Honne! Ek beplan om saam met vriende Namibië toe te toer in die Junie vakansie. Een probleempie- vroulief gaan saam, en die standaard BMW Tourer Panniers gaan te klein wees- ons moet nog tent en matrasse en slaapsakke ook êrens pak. Aangesien vroulief by die Spesiale Skool...

Greetings Hounds! On this year's Word Rider Tour of the Bible Society both my bikes were in action. Me and my wife on our trusty Pig, and one of the Cape Town gang on my Roadster. But on the tour, the Roadster started coughing towards the end.  Hy loop en ruk lekker man... I have noticed...

Good morning dear hounds! Last night my son took my Roadster for a bit of gravel road riding and then he connected with the gravel himself.  He is ok, my bike not... The headlight and instrument cluster is really busted. Any leads/thoughts how I can replace the parts avoiding my friendly...

Hi all Hounds... I use my 1150 GS much more on tar than gravel. And I seriously need to replace my rear tyre- mosquitoes are getting dangerous there... In the front I still have a good Anakee II. The Metzeler Tourance is giving me good service on my R 850 Roadster. (Could only get a Dueller...

But then, how often do you see a 71 year old bike still in a rideable condition? My son and I saw this old Harley this afternoon, a 1943 model... With some pretty War era art on the tank.... Sorry, only had my cellphone with a flat battery (no flash) to take these photos...

Go to Spif Chickens at Naboomspruit...  :imaposer:  :ricky: Seriously- they are on the road to the holiday resorts, and have a good farm stall with some  good food and Coffee. Unfortunately no liquer license yet. I am not on holiday at the moment, and can't even think of taking a few days off...

Na 'n maand se van die bike af wees na 'n operasie het ek vanoggend vir die eerste keer weer kon ry. 'n Klomp van ons wat al op die Bybelgenootskap se Word Rider toere  was, het by Beestekraal Stasie bymekaar gekom vir ontbyt. Van Pietersburg, Nelspruit tot in Klerksdorp, en Pretoria en...

We had to bury another biker yesterday, after being killed in Nylstroom's main street last Saturday. This is my tribute to Koos (Comic) van der Walt. Not a Hound, he was a roadie, but he meant a lot to us here in Nylstroom. https://vosperdruiter.wordpress.com/2014/08/09/tribute-to-a-fallen-biker/

Landed in hospital for the first time since birth 47 years ago... had to have a gallbladder removed. And now, to heal, can't even drive a car for 3 weeks due to a break that was also fixed... Meanwhile, my little Piggy is also in hospital, getting it's clutch fixed at Dream Adventure...

We had an excellent ride and a bad experience this morning. It is a friend's 59th birthday. So we decided to have a surprise breakfast run to Nylsvley, the world famous Ramsar Wetlands between Nylstroom and Naboom... The ride there is enjoyable, with some good dirt road riding to be had. The...

Me and Duster, with his wife and my colleague, had a very good ride today. We had a circle route from Nylstroom via Naboom to collect Duster and Stoffies, and then went over the Sterkrivied dam road, and Tinmyne road to that lovely pass underneath Hanglip. There is a Wild Dogs camping site...

Hi Brothers (are there any sisters riding a 1150 GS?) Where would I find a good side stand extension to buy? I hear talk about a "Bigfoot"? Does anybody have a plan on how to build it myself? And does it really help my GS not to fall over?

No, I did not ride to Hooters... yet. I have another question as a newbie for the older men with the great beards, those who know a Varkie inside out... My BMW R 850 R has a DECENT hooter on board. It will nearly wake the dead. I bought it like that. The 1150 on the other hand, squeeks...

Today I sold my trusty old Aprilia Pegaso to help pay for my new BMW R 1150 GS. I did upgrade. But it still hurts to sell such good memories. Do you know that pain too, or am I just a looney bin case? This is my farewell to my old friend...

I just want to test you experienced riders on this too... This morning I tried to get my "new"  1150 GS through roadworthy. It became another headache. The engine number of the bike differs from the Registration Paper. At the police this bike's record shows that it was stolen in 2010...

Hi all you older wiser riders! I bought my 1150 GS yesterday. It only has 49000 km on and was serviced recently. But I have this nagging question in the back of my mind.  After riding it from Pretoria, (about 100 km) I had to pass a truck. When I opened the throttle in 6th gear the revs climbed...
