    How bike collections start....

    As most of us can attest, 2020 has been a kak year. For me, I've only spent 14 weeks at home this entire year - and that was in 3 increments. I'm not complaining however, as the alternative was staying home and not working, so I'm grateful. What it has done though is bring tings into...

    Silver solder/ brazing?

    I got rid of my porta pack some time ago as I was tired of tripping over the damned thing. Problem is I now need to do some brazing and some silver soldering. Its a bit bigger than what I would be comfortable using propane hand torch with, but have seen it done quite successfully with Map gas...

    Tyre /Tube blowout

    Today I found out that I have a guardian angel. I also found out that he or she can fly faster than 100km/h. I was out riding today with a few mates, and we hit the N7 for a short stretch between Moreesburg and Piketburg. Just a little way past the PPC factory, I had a blowout of the front...

    To plastic or not to plastic?

    Ok, where to start? I have a 990S that I really enjoy. Like really, really, love the bike. It's great. But... There is always a but... I'm thinking that I want to ride more technical stuff than what I'd be happy doing on the 990. It's probably just too big and heavy to do stuff like the old...

    Suspension service/ issues

I just came back from a trip and popped a fork seal on the trip - finished the trip without a problem, but obviously it needs to be repaired. Do you just have the...

    Hepco and Becker top box lock?

    I have an old Hepco and Becker top box that I need a new lock for. I tried a cheap generic replacement lock but it is not up to the rigors of offroad work. Any ideas where I can get one locally? Alternatively what else can I try? I saw a Flying Brick top box that has a nice sturdy looking lock...

    Nice socks for boots

    The Mrs came in today with a pair of these for me. Quite lekker and at a decent price compared to some of the mx offerings I've seen. It comes up to just short of my knee - probably 2 inches or so past the top of my boot. https://www.capeunionmart.co.za/falke-ski-sock

    40000km service?

    Besides the usual servicing items is there anything extra that I should look at/have looked at? What can one expect cost wise (yes, yes, how long is a piece of string, but ball park, assuming just the service items). And who will you recommend to do it in the Cape Town area?

    Dead battery behaviour?

    The battery on my 990 has been showing signs of being on the way out for a little while now. I have just come back from 3 months in Saudi and found that the battery cannot crank the bike despite having been on the C-Tec and showing all green lights. I had the battery tested and both the state of...

    Licence fees?

    Having recently paid my annual licensing fees I noticed something that seems odd. The GVM and Tare are both stated as 371kg (!!!), putting it in class 2.1 in the fees category (according to the disk). My question is thus, what does your weight say and what do you pay? On the net I found that...
