looks like you had a great time!

I see a lot of okes deliberating the cost of fuel and the high expense. Yes this is a concern but look at it this way... if you take a high travel cost of R8000 and divide it by the amount of days you have until the event ie: 156 then it means you need to only save R51 per day from now until...

more pics from Cederberg

excuse the delay in the ride report, as one adventure in the Cederberg ended another multi-day mission started and a bit of juggling was needed. I set off from Cape Town at 14:00 on the 31st Jan, the bikes thermometer reading was 35 degrees. The top box was filled to the brim with water and the...

Im planning to head to the Cederberg this weekend to go rock climbing on the wild and unspoilt Tafelberg peak. Ill carry my gear for the climb as well as sleeping and food provisions on my back but the bike will stay at camp. Its a small but important win that my helmet, jacket and gloves can...

some subtle adjustments needed to make the bike fit me like a glove. firstly, the gear lever. big bro ( JustBendIt ) voice in my head saying R.T.F.M. but its simple spanner work. 10mm is all you need. Factory setting is too high for me (with riding shoes) I will re-adjust with MX boots when...

the small little joy of travelling by bike always gets me psyched, you see its been more than a year since I had my last bike (Husqvarna 350FE) Being able to pull over safely on any pavement, take a little stretch of dirt to cut traffic and pretty much park anywhere are simple joys that...

check it out, I asked the guys to send me pics of the little screens. They are pretty neat, but I wouldn't put them on, more stuff to break off when you rodeo flip it. I have had multiple discussions with regards to the 890R suspension, in my humble opinion we should not get hung up on the...

at over 140km the wind buffering of the front screen reduces drastically, my helmet (Bell) has one of those little sun visors that flips your head around a bit. you can feel the wind at this speed catches as it hits you mid helmet. I may or may not have got it to 203km/hr. At this speed there...

the last trip we did together, 4 days and 1600km on a 1250 GS she had all the above and managed to pull off a different look for each evenings dinner date. Truly remarkable talent!

I took the Mrs (Jenna) for a short ride to see if the pillion got a thumbs up. Indeed she was all smiles. "its so smooth and comfortable" Now if you know princess Jenna this is a HUGE win. The pillion seat is wide and about 120mm thick, the side grab handles are ergonomically located and in a...

I looked at the rubber inserts on the pegs and decided to take them off. They are great for long road stretches as the dampen the vibration on the soles of the feet, but a little bit of water/oil on these when your off road (especially in a pair of MX boots) and traction is an issue. The little...

what you looking at?

First look. is there a specific part of the bike you want a picture of? let me know and ill post it.

North meets South. The Husqvarna Norden 901 has landed in South Africa, the gateway to Africa and some would say the birthplace of adventure. The Norden is a four-stroke, parallel twin cylinder, 889 cc engine that is liquid-cooled It has a max power output of 78,3 KW with 100NM of torque...
