Hi All, With the impending lock down I will not be using my bike much. Probably as long as 3 or 4 weeks  :patch: Is it ok to connect a ctek charger directly to the battery? Thank you

So a friend and I rode to CT and back on our 1250's. He has the dove grey and I have the HP. He has a full Akrapovic exhaust system without a catalytic converter and mine is 100% standard. What we found: - There is a slight acceleration advantage but this could be due to me being about 20kgs...

So last week I had to go to CT on business. Thought I would try make a short video of the trip down and the trip back. Not so hardcore for some of you but seat time nonetheless. Hope you enjoy: To CT via Mosselbay from GP https://youtu.be/zpqQZzbTiMA From CT via Ceres and Williston...

This last Sunday I did a breakfast run from Lonehill to Hartees to Black Horse and back. I usually avoid this run due to some of the crazy riders out on the road on Sundays but went along anyway. We were riding with a mates 20 year old daughter who was on her GS 750, so we were going pretty...

Hi All, What boots do you recommend for general "adventure" type riding. Not too much of the rock climbing stuff but more dirt roads, sand and some tar mixed in. An example of my last trip is; Jhb - Beaufort West - Swartberg Pass - Die Hell - the R62 to Cape Town and then back via Citrusdal -...

Just seen, what looked like a pretty bad crash involving a KTM (no sure which but looked like a 1190 or similar) on the corner of Main and Ash road in Kyalami. Looks pretty bad, as bike is trashed - front wheel is missing and lots of the plastics. Couldnt see properly but looked like one vehicle...

Hi all, Who has the best deal on these tyres for a BMW GSA LC in CT please? Thank you

So today I got to ride the service/restricted access road next to some of the Gautrain tracks. Our company was broken into and some items were found by Gautrain security along the track, so they called me to come and identify everything. I had to get special permission to gain access and told...

As the title says?

Hi All, I am starting to prepare for a possible trip to Botswana at the end of August/beginning September. The trip will include around 1600kms of tar and about 500kms of dirt, mostly sand with a few patches of deep thick sand. I will be fairly heavy loaded. I will either be changing tires or...

So my Navigator is missing the Southern Africa DEM application. This application basically makes all the mountains etc 3D. Part of the attraction of the Nav VI. I have been trying to get Northside BMW to sort this out for almost 2 months now without any joy and just empty promises and always...

I have had quite a few people asking my opinion on my 1250, so thought I would share it here. I am no riding god and never push the bike to the limit. My riding consists of commuting about 30kms round trip daily and some trips, mainly tar but dirt roads also. (maybe 80% tar and 20% dirt...

Hi All, I am considering a set of these. I dont have much discomfort on long trips but believe these can improve comfort a lot for the taller guys. I am 1.97m tall. What are your opinions on these and do they make a big difference to comfort levels? Thank you

Hi All, I will be attempting this route on Saturday on my way to Natal. Please share any info you have. I will be riding alone. Route is: JHB - Harrismith - Old Van Reenans Route - Colenso - then R74 to Greytown - Stanger - Ballito. I only have Saturday to do the route therefore very little...

All brackets (not photographed) for mounting come with the bash plate. Its basically two months old but I did do about 300kms through the Tankwa Karoo with it so has some small marks. It does need a good clean which i will do this weekend which I am sure will make it like new again. Reason for...

Looks like this: https://flyingbrick.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/raid-tool-box-001.jpg Perfect condition. Removed it from my 2018 GSA so has all brackets etc and will be fitting a Touratec one to the new bike. R1000-00

I often fly down to CT for business and really hate having to fly so every now and again I go down by bike. I usually try and do it over three days and sometimes four. We left JHB midday and planned to stay at Gariep dam that evening. It is a pretty boring stretch so wont spend too much time on...

I found some old pictures taken of me during various events. Had forgotten about them. Anyway I thought it would be interesting to see some of your old pictures of you riding and hear a bit of the back ground about them. This picture was taken during the Carnival Ciy 400 in about 2001 (i...
