There is a new company in Montagu Gardens that does spray-on-chrome. They do different colours, not just plain chrome. I can think of lots of stuff that can be done...... plastic, fibreglass, as well as metals. https://www.facebook.com/Chrome-n-Stuff-582836208564171/?fref=ts Anybody tried them...

Ct - Durban 26/03, week at St Lucia, returning 02/04. Can take small things..........

Type of post none of us like to make  :( Had a phone call from Lurker that there was a head-on between two bikes. Abie (Abel on the forum) broke his leg very badly and was airlifted to somewhere in CT. His wife Lynn was taken by ambulance to Ceres, awaiting a report back. The other couple were...

Here is the plan: I need 2 or 3 persons to join us. Two of my friends (WD members) are going with a 4 X 4. Ideally, 3 or 4 bikes should ride along. Route is Cedarberg, Loeriesfontein, Kenhardt, Riemvasmaak, Molopo. Camp every night, 2 of the 3 nights may well be stealth camping. The Pajero can...

Not directly bike related, but electrics are electrics........ Looking for guidance, advice or divine intervention. I bought a Vito van about 18 months ago which has a bit of camper essentials fitted. All nicely done, some of the fitments only work on 220V when plugged in at a campsite. Has a...

My brother had a pretty bad fall in Mozambique 8 days ago. Him & bike were recovered and are currently in Nelspruit (or WTF you vaalies call your towns  :'( >:D) Seems he was doing about 90 km/h on a slightly sandy road with his GSA but there were a few lurking soft-ball-sized ysterklippe...

Due to a problem with a bike's charging system the battery ran flat. Showing about 2.5 V. The manufacturers specify that only their charger should be used..........  I have yet to come across somebody who has one. So.....  I tried hooking up a CTEK to it:  It shows open circuit on the charger...

Can anybody give me the torque value for the triple clamp bolts that hold the forks? Thanks....

Just starting the thread, please add pics and experiences.......  ;D Firstly thanks to Firecoast for taking the initiative to organize the weekend! The weather played along to make the weekend quite unforgettable. 1) Piekenierskloof Pass. At the end of a rainbow, you get...... 2) Algeria area...

"Hello darkness my old friend......" I'm having the audacity to start the thread even though I just saw them off. The only Boo-boo thus far was that Kamanya forgot his koplampie but then again, I believe he did this on purpose to 'find himself'. Michiel: take your time to edit the stuff. A...

For preparation I started off by doing some aerial reconnaissance of the bash site:  ;D But in actual fact, we used the more conventional means to plot our route: Mapsource, T4A, maps. Abel & myself had managed to get a week off work prior to the National Bash as well as a week thereafter...

I'm looking for a genuine KTM 640 tankbag or one made for a 640. Just any old bag won't do.... PM me please if you want to sell. 

I know a lot of WD's are very passionate about their music..........I love supporting the local music scene. The talent we have is incredible, in fact when you attend some of the big gigs you may just be blown away. So a big  :thumleft: to the main sponsors of Up the Creek 2010, SMIRNOFF and...

Seems like people are too laid back/tired/hung over to start posting. Or is it a case of what happens at the river stays at the river? Herewith my side of the story: Saturday was a difficult day. I had slept over at Hermanus, went out with some friends and got to bed at 03:00. Due to work I...

A colleague of mine and a friend were riding along the railway line this morning. Both bikes had 2 flat wheels at the same time. No nails or thorns etc visible in the tyres. This was in the vicinity of the Old Darling Road, in other words Melkbos/N7. They walked some way back but could not see...

Some time ago an article in a magazine made the statement that a large part of your mind is occupied if you are uncomfortable, i.e. the wind bashing your helmet around, your butt going lame, having to compensate for poorly distributed luggage. According to the article this had a direct bearing...

Seeing that I didn't participate it's not a Ride Report. Just some pics taken at a regional event. 25 April 2009, weather was looking dodgy. Not much rain had fallen before the start but during the first lap it started to drizzle. And from there it just got worse. I'll kick off with some quad...
