I have the Rhinowalk set of four bags. 2 x 20 liter, 1 x 30 liter, 1 x 10 liter. The bags are OK, but the straps are really crap. The metal flat-hooks bend open then fall out of their loops. I have to take a few spares along and replace them on a ride. They are cut from flimsy aluminium...

Thanks for the update and the warning. We shall take it very easy on that stretch. I have seen that road with knee-deep ruts across it in the dips. Its time they installed culverts in the dips that regularly wash away.

We will be visiting Ann and Christo on Tuesday night. We were there last weekend, just before the big rains. Looking for feedback on the following dirt roads, from anyone who used these roads over this weekend: Anysberg Reserve Prinsrivier Road (From Montegu/Ouberg to Ladismith) Witteberge Road...

Dirt Road Cafe is wel toe. Die plaas is verkoop en hulle moes uittrek. Hulle soek ‘n ander perseel om te huur.

Google Maps will get you to a destination, but not to navigate a complex route of your own design. And works best where you have a mobile signal. To ride rural area with no signal, you must pre-download the map for that area for offline usage. Its just not suitable for adv riding. The Zumo is...

Navigating the Trip rather than the Track, gives you the full turn-by-turn navigation guidance, e.g. in 1km, turn left onto the R44, both as text on the top of the map screen, and by voice if you want the latter.

Yes, you not NEED to delete the routes, however they just clutter up the XT.

When you plan routes on Garmin Basecamp (or Garmin Mapsource), use Basecamp to convert each route to a TRACK. Then delete the Routes that you created. Send the Tracks to your XT. On the XT, go to Apps, then to Tracks. Select the track you want to navigate. Click on the Spanner, scroll down and...

Unlike earlier models, the XT does not permit you to enable viewing individual tracks on your screen. However, you can switch on viewing of all your tracks as follows: Settings, Map & Vehicle, Map Layers, Collections, then enable UNORGANISED. VOILA!

I had a 390 Adventure and quickly moved on to a twin-cylinder bike. Those single-cylinder bikes get hammered on the highway. Go test-ride the Honda CB500X, you will be surprised how easy it handles, and will not need to upgrade for a very long time. Great for commuting, and quite cable on the...

I have tested every app on both Android and iPhone for planning routes and navigating them. I do about 40 000km a year, almost all of that being multi-day adv tours. By far the best of them all is MapOut on IOS (sadly not available on Android). For about R100 once off purchase for life, you get...

I had the early 390 with cast rims and let me tell you, they are far tougher than any spoked rims I ever had, except when I replaced the destroyed spoked rims with Excel or SM-Pro rims. That 390 took a serious pounding over some serious terrain without even the slightest smiley. Old Postal...

Yes and that is actually great on this bike. Because its a smaller bike with a very low seat, the pegs are quite close to the seat. In that sitting position, it would be extremely uncomfy to have the pegs level. The natural angle of your feet exactly match the pegs angle. They actually got that...

No mention of the Rieju AVENTURA 500 LEGEND. Or did I miss that? i want to now buy the last bike in my life. Getting too old for most of today’s adv bikes. The Rieju looks like the proverbial unicorn of adv bikes but news seems to have dried up.

Its for easier sidebag mounting, without worrying about proximity of exhaust/muffler

My current accommodation arrangements have fallen through but I am still keen to spend a few days in that area for some paragliding. Just need a bed and decent shower. Nothing fancy. Flexible timing. I have a place in Mossel Bay that I can use but do not wish to commute every day between M/bay...

T4A is good for planning routes on your PC, but if you have it installed on your Zumo, be sure to untick the box under settings, Maps, MyMaps, T4A when navigating. For some reason, if T4A is enabled on the Zumo, then you lose the turn-by-turn navigation guidance. You must then keep a constant...

ESA changes only the rebound damping. Nothing else. Not the preload snd not compression damping. Enduro Mode delivers partial traction control (very forgiving offroad) and modifies the ABS for dirt. Most offroad riding is done with just Enduro Mode. More aggressive riders can switch off...

Hell, that looks like a bargain!
