    Looking for a lift for a radio from Somerset West to Colesberg.

    I need a lift for an amateur radio receiver and its speaker, from Somerset West to Colesberg please. I was going to visit Cape Town in March, but that did not happen and I don't want to burden @Mikel89 any longer with storing the items. The receiver and speaker are probably the size of two...

    Front rim issues, in general?

    I had this conversation with @NIMMO this morning, after I thought it over while riding to the office. My 1190 is in absolute pristine condition, it has never been dropped and does not have one single mark on it. I'm extremely fond of the bike and I intend to keep it it in this condition...

    Which bike tyres to stock?

    I've been thinking about stocking a few essential bike tyres for quite some time, but I've always shied away from it, just knowing how slow these are going to move. However, I do get the odd stranded biker and I always feel bad if I can't assist them. I had one yesterday that was in need of a...

    Daytona 500: Please enlighten me.

    Not motorcycle related, but I'm sure to get some answers here: I don't really watch motor racing, except for the Dakar and I will watch an F1 race, now and then. I've been aware of the US Nascar racing and especially the Daytona 500. Watching TV on Sunday evening, I stumbled upon the Daytona...

    Need lift (or storage) from Somerset West to Colesberg.

    I bought an HF amateur receiver and its speaker from an elderly gent in Somerset West. The radio is too sensitive to have it couriered and I would prefer to collect it myself. The seller, however, told me that he sold his house and is moving out at the end of February. I have to collect the...

    For Sale BMW R1100GS.

    Another pristine bike from Deon in Colesberg. He bought this bike to use on shorter, occasional rides, instead of his K1600GT.

    Clearing low tyre pressure warning 1190R.

    My front tyre pressure got a bit low and it triggered the low tyre pressure warning. How do I reset it? I've obviously inflated the tyre, but that didn't clear the warning. That said, I don't run the tyres, and especially the front tyre at the recommended pressure, as I feel it's too high for...
