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...

I am selling my KTM 390 Adventure, advertising on a few different platforms. Every time my ad gets renewed on Facebook or Gumtree, I get a call from this guy who does not realise that he has called me before. I am sure he is a scamster, but I cannot figure out exactly how he intents to carry...

KTM 390 Adventure, 2020 model, 53 600km (with the 2022 modes upgrade). This dual-purpose bike is upgraded to the perfect commuter, but on weekends it will take you on amazing adventures. Powerful enough for the freeway, but the fun starts when you get to the dirt. It handles sand, mud, clay...

I am looking for recommendations for adv bike-friendly camping venues, not too far from Cape Town. I know about Beaverlac, Balies Gat and Moon River. Any recommendations are welcome, but ideally they must be able to supply braai packs, firewood, and possibly cooldrinks or maybe beer/wine. Go….

searching for front-right plastic panel for BMW F800GS Adventure. Same for all models.

This was my Sixth ride from Cape Town to Die Hell in 10 months. Being January, it was difficult to get a full compliment of 8 for this ride, to fill the 8 beds at the Safari Bush Camp in Die Hel. Back To Work after the holidays, made it difficult for some to take leave. Some were battling with...

We made a brief stop yesterday at the office area in Anysberg, to cool down under the trees. The lady in the office approached us in a friendly manner and asked us to please spread the word. We are welcome to ride through the reserve, however… if we stop to rest under the trees at the office, or...

Hi Guys, we are going that way this weekend and sometimes the far Eastern End of the Floriskraal farm roads can be rather sandy after crossing the Dwyka River, depending on when last the road has been graded, recent rains, and recent winds. At the beginning of June last year, the sand level was...

I have surplus to my current needs, an adapter cable to connect a standard OBD device to the new red colour Euro5 style socket on the newer KTM bikes (Not the older white socket). Make me a reasonable offer.

I have a brand new complete set of the GoGravel soft panniers which do not fit my 800GSA pannier racks, because one rack has a lateral bend in it and the other a vertical bend, designed to fit the OEM hard panniers. These sell for R5100 but I am willing to sell my new set for R4000 for a quick...

I have a 2015 model BMW F800 GS Adventure with the standard seat (890mm seat height), looking for the lower (860mm) version, to trade or potentially purchase. Though I enjoy the higher seat tremendously on tar, I find that being on my tiptoes on dirt to be a bit too unstable when I am forced to...

We had a great 5 day ride, Thursday to Monday (yesterday). Five bikes, 6 people (including one pullion), via Anysberg Reserve to Ons Karoo Plaas for the first night. Braai dinner with salads and homemade bread and green fig preserve. Breakfast was 6km away at Dirt Road Cafe, where we had...

Have you upgraded your windscreen and still have the original which you might be willing to part with? Let’s talk. Either the S mode or R model.

Has anyone here actually used an emergency satellite communicator (not a satphone) in a real emergency to summon help? if so, what device did you use, and how was the response and the experience in them dealing with the emergency?

Greetings all. I plan to ride up with a buddy or two, to the Festival Of Flight in the Wilderness & Sedgefield areas for the above dates, but would like to explore some of the lesser known dirt roads when not flying. Any local Garden Route dogs able to provide some routes or to ride with us...

Has anyone done the Watervlei 4x4 circuit on an adventure bike? I cannot find any info on the terrain, its ease or difficulty or condition thereof, or whether its worth the detour in terms of scenic views and interesting/challenging roads. It starts on top of the plateau between Gannaga Lodge...

Unfortunately the new owner of the farm at the far Eastern end, Rooifontein on most maps, has decided to lock a gate at the Western edge of his property, so this is no longer a through road. There is also a new gate structure at the Eastern end (near the R355) which I assume is also likely to...

Does anyone know this road, heading South from Sutherland to Touwsrivier. Is it accessible? Any locked gates? Mountains Passes SA has no listing for it.

On the road between Cederberg Oasis and Eselbank (blue route on the attached map), is a turnoff Eastward down into the valley, signposted “Bo-Martinus Rus”. On Google Earth, this looks like a good condition road. A bit further South, various maps show a road right down to the river in the...
