My brother posted this on Facebook after a ride we took together with some other hoodlums... For both of us this was the closest bonding experience we hav had sice we were teenagers. His words below are rough but profound. Some might say this post belongs in the Ride Reports section but I don't...

I've been working in Luxembourg since April and live just over the border in France, cause it's a lot cheaper. There's a whole lot of great riding country around here, albeit a bit tame (No dirt roads to speak of and impossible to get lost, abducted or any other kind of adventurous stuff.) But...

Before Sunday, 20 December 2015, I referred to myself as an adventure rider. This was in fact delusional. Now, for the first time, do I feel entitled to call myself such. This ride made everything else I've done pale in comparison. THIS ride got me (Airguitar), Stuart (StuartC) and my cuz...

I am selling my beautiful XR600R... :( The Garage is overcrowded and my car is taking a hammering in the sun. The bike has new Tyre on the back, front is still good. The full rebuild process can be seen on the forum.. It was a labour of love and the new owner is getting a very good example of...

Somehow the name Groot Marico popped into my head. Maybe it was the Herman Charles Bosman book I read a while ago.. Dunno.  Anyway, I was thinking that I haven't done any rides ut to the "Wild West" so Google Maps was consulted and then I cast about for riding partners. Mr. Zog was busy with...

OK so it's not on 2 wheels, unless the trailer counts.. But I've always enjoyed restoring old things and this one cropped up on Gumtree for R1000 so I thought I'd give it a go.. It's a 1965 Kiekhaefer Mercury 200 20HP outboard engine. I haven't begun stripping it yet but a curory inspection...

I've had thoughts of slipping down to Clarens for a while now, and I was on Skype with Frau Guitar when she said to me I must book a room in Clarens and take her for a bike ride and a dirty weekend. She didn't have to say so twice, I tell you... :3some: So, on the 21st May, a Saturday, we got...

I'm taking Frau Guitar for a dirty weekend to Clarens. What's a good route to take? I'm thinking of cutting through Heidelberg to Deneysville and then through Oranjeville to join the R26 to Frankfort, Petrus Steyn, Bethlehem,  Clarens, but I'd like to throw Golden Gate into the deal.

:drif:  :drif:  :drif:  :drif: for a mere R55k!! Mods please note, this is not my bike.. I just like it! More pics on gumtree.. just search "Maico"

Guys, I know this is the technical section but I just want to draw your attention to the annual XR jol. See here:- https://wilddog.net.za/forum/index.php?topic=171034.0

Ok here it is. In co-operation with Blauth, (EDIT:- And now in conjunction with a few DR, XT, KLX, etc.. -riding poofters) we are planning to have the XR-Fest (EDIT:-  A.K.A. "BraaapFest) in July.  Dates are 10 to 12th July 2015. This will be a weekend affair, tentatively hosted by Blauth...

I went to see Jacques at Evolution Motorcycles and got my 800XC sorted out with a black top box. Cost was R4100. Let's just say that Triumph came in at just under double that price. I'm very satisfied with the box and it's locally made, tough as anything else out there and looks great. It also...

My cousin Warren and me have been riding together since we were 16. He had aMB50 and I had a MT50. That's a long time ago, and things are slightly different, and we are slightly older. It somehow still feela kinda 16-ish even though we are now 50. The bikes have gotten more expensve and the...

I've owned my Triumph Tiger 800XC since late July and have only ever done day rides. Lots of them. This, as you all well know, is simply not good enough. To make matters worse, my rifing exploits are carefully rationed out owing to the fact that I work overseas, mostly in Saudi Arabia but also...

Ja, OK, so I have been discussing a little ride with mt mate Mr. Zog, and we have the tiny nucleus of a plan. Firstly, let me stress that this ride is not exclusively for red bikes. White ones, blue, green, orange and yellow chuggers are welcome to join in, as many did last year. Gary (Zog)...

My Cuz, my mate Gus and me are off to Tzaneen in the morning. Slabbing it up to get to the lekker roads, but planning to ride back down to GP via Lydenburg, or maybe even further East (Sabie?), depending on the weather. Cuz's GSA My Tiger:- OK so my "Balsak" isn't on yet but it's packed...

As I work overseas, I look forward to getting home for my 3 week break once every 8 weeks. It means I get to harass the Mrs, ride the bike, play my guitars, and basically carry on like a teenager. I've been looking longingly at the roads around Loskop on Google Earth, and had a lekker dirt-heavy...

A few mates and I are going Benoni-Loskop-Dullstroom tomorrow. So far we are about 5 guys. Leisurely riding and photo stops are the order of the day. Physiological functions will be given preference 8) A few of us eaving the Petrol Station at Rynfield Terrace (Corner Pretoria and Vlei roads)...
