Why is the Honda Trail 125 not available in South Africa. I think they will fly in the South African market? Would love to buy them for my two kids to learn to ride.

I struggled to change the gears on the 1250 ADV; and then I found the culprit. The teat that I need to use to lower the side stand is keeping me from getting my foot/shoe into/under the gear shifter. I'm quite tall; I assume the angle that my shoe is sitting on the foot peg is different from...

I took the plunge this week; bought a 1250. I'm tall and have to extend the screen in one way or another. But I'm still experience a lot of wind; it's the West Coast after all. Two problems. 1. The screen with the extended screen is very 'loose', looks fragile, with a lot of vibration. And...

Have any of you ever replaced the interior set of a helmet? I bought myself a new Shoei; but the old one is still in mint condition. I wonder about buying an interior set to use the old helmet for commuting. Any ideas, pro's and con's...

How many of you have gone through the schengen visa application process recently. I was invited to speak at an international conference and was suppose to fly tomorrow. Yet, three weeks are not enough time for this VFS company that they are using to process the schengen visa application. That...

Anyone having an idea where I can buy Motoz Tractionator GPS tyres in the Cape Town / Western Cape area?

Anybody has an idea where to buy size 15 MX boots in South Africa? If possible, Alpinestars Tech 3 boots . . .

The Centre Stand just disappear from 'under' me when I parked the old lady in the garage a few minutes ago. Have you seen this before; it happened to anyone else? What would be the best - to weld it myself or to source a second hand stand from somewhere? 

On my bucket list.  Higher grade adventure biking.  Respect. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHmagLABKLk&feature=youtu.be&fbclid=IwAR2bqprgl9zpX9CGpGBdQNnTe2H8PSYaapeHh-9oNLWzj4e1pTqQ0eNRRdc

Advice from experienced riders. I have done 2500km on my Mitas E07+ tyres and is due to leave for Namibia next week. What is your experience of the tyre ito kms?  It has, in my view, about 50% loopvlak left. Should I rather replace it before I left? The plan is to run on tar to the border...

A very stupid question. How do I go about upgrading the maps on my 660? Haven't done it since I bought it in 08. Should I buy a new set of maps from Garmin?

A friend of mine wants to sale his 08 GS ADV The bike is in an immaculate condition! Contact Chris @ 082 775 1482 Around R85 000 - boxes included.

I am on my way for another two weeks of lecturing at the University of Namibia - and I am working on my route  :ricky: This is what I plan to do - https://goo.gl/maps/gDrmSrEAq9vxgzMw8 I was advised to rather avoid the Aus-Helmering C13. Anyone who has done it recently for some feedback on...

Assistance please . . . Lost the weather cap of my Zumo 660; fallen of during a ride! This is what it looks like - https://www.nivo.co.za/buy~garmin.weather.cap.for.zumo.660~p19893 It has been discontinued by Garmin. Anyone has an idea where I would be able to find one?

I am commuting with the GSA on a daily basis 24/7/12 - in all weather conditions; good and bad. So I have done an experiment the last two weeks. Of course there are variables - such as the wind on the West Coast - that I cannot control. But I have tried to manipulate those variables that I do...

I have done a couple of long tar runs - normally once or twice a year from Windhoek back home. My legs do take some stress on these trips. These highway pegs are available for the LCs -...

Did a bit of gravel over the weekend; then a 550 tar run back home. This morning my odometer is not working, the abs light stays on & traction control is of, the indicator does not switch itself off. Anybody has an idea? It's a two hundred km run to the nearest dealership + a day off from...

My two weeks of lecturing at the University of Namibia was coming up and, as I have done the last couple of years, it was time to prepare the bike for another Namibian visit. Since she is good to go at a moment’s notice, it was pretty much a case of replacing the tyres to have Mitas EO7s for...

A good friend of mine is in the market for a topbox for his 2008 GS. He needs something that can hold his helmet. I need some advice on what to buy and where to buy (i.e. the best price . . .)

The word to use is f@k. What must have been a 5min job became almost 3 hours. Had to remove the front screen, whole dash board etc. For some or other reason this 2012/3 GSA was changed so that the little draad that is keeping the light in place loosens the moment you unhooked it. With my...
