    Clutch repair needed Cape Town

    Who can I take my bike to for a potential clutch replacement in Cape Town? It's a 2008 1200 Adv with 146,000 on the clock. The bike would be revving high when accelerating while its slow in gaining speed. There's also a lot of oil underneath the engine, which I read from previous posts could...

    BMW1150GS FS

    I post this on behalf of a friend of a friend. It reads as follows: I'm selling my pristine 2004 BMW 1150GS. One kneeler from new (me!) . You can PM me for the guy's phone number.

    Herfstyd in die Vrystaat

    Ek maak hierdie videos om eendag te kan onthou terwyl ek in Huis Herfsblaar aan my valstande sit en suig. Miskien nie in almal se smaak nie  ;D https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzwDFughBV0

    Electrical problem 1200 GSA ‘08 model

    No instrument cluster light, nada, dead! The bike has been standing for a few weeks. Last night I connected up the 0.8A charger. While the charger was connected, I tried to start the engine. An audible clap-sound could be heard from the front (beak area), then all went dead. The green light on...

    Driveshaft FUBAR, what now?

    The bike is a 2008 model GSA, 122,000km. While riding today, I heard a Krrrr-sound whenever I changed gears or slowed down, but not when I accelerated, almost like the clucking sound from he clutch when changing gears but just more continuously. It started suddenly and when I stopped I could not...

    Riemland meander

    My grey matter was starting to malfunction, and I was in urgent need of some time out. Since I have some kind of love affair with the Eastern Freestate, it was kind of obvious that I was going to head in that direction. It was quite a cold morning, and the coffee that the tannie at Frankfort...

    Deon Meyer's latest novel: Koors

    Ek is halfpad deur die boek, uitstekend. 'n Groep KTM ryers feature onder andere as 'n bende "baddies" wat gemeenskappe roof en plunder. Ek probeer so vinnig lees as moontlik om te sien of daar dalk 'n groep BMW ryers gaan opduik wat hulle gaan gas gee. Goeie boek, koop dit gerus.

    Golden Gate Getaway

    It was time to get out into nature, and what better place than Golden Gate in the backyard of Gauteng. Also, what better time than Easter when the last of the summer sun paints the sandstone formations in different shades of gold. I also managed a quick incursion into Lesotho over Monontsha...

    Spotlight bulb needed

    The bulb on my spotlight died. It seems as if the bulb and the plastic lug comes as a unit.  Is this readily available, or is the stealer my only option?

    Comments on my route please Jhb Ctn Jhb

    I'm not that familiar with the Karoo, and would hate to miss out on nice roads and places. The plan is to ride from Jhb to Ctn over about 4 to 5 days (leaving 19th @ sparrowfart) and the same number of days back again (leaving Ctn 27th) . I've put together what I think is an adequate route. I...

    Swazi solo swing

    The long weekend of 8 August was the ideal time to venture into Swaziland which was on my bucket list for a while now. The plan was to leave at 05:00 on Saturday, and all was going according to plan until I tried to start the bike – nothing, battery dead. So, waited until the shops opened to get...
