Hi fellow WD's.  I moved house and dug up some old, original dealership pamphlets of various bikes (owned most of them).  You know, in the old days one would get these promotional pamphlets from your dealer and drooled over them for weeks & months before, maybe, buying the bike of your dreams...

Someone I know wants to sell his Akrapovic end can for BMW F800GS.  He offered it to me at R 4000, negotiable, but I prefer my bike standard.  Personally I think it is a fair price.  The sticker has a scratch on it but can apparently be replaced with correct heat resistant sticker for around R...

Hi fellow Dogs.  I have searched this forum for hours and found some clues, but let me ask again: Was riding on Sunday and after about 35 kilos, bike stuttered in third gear as if it wanted to die.  Immediately corrected itself and ran normally again.  About a kilo further, just as I geared...

SOLD Thanks to all for the interest in my Dakar. My  beloved Dakar is up for sale.  Busy negotiating a deal on a GS800 and the Dakar's contribution is needed to make it work.  R48 500 will do (all included). Fantastic middleweight adventure bike, and arguably the best bike ever built by BMW...

Anyone who can suggest a company that can repair or fit new expandable straps to my BMW takbag.  The bag is still 100% and I use it regularly, but the front straps are shot (see pic).  I am in Paarl, WC.

Looking for used tankbag to fit 2007 model F650GS Dakar.  Had a look at new ones but none seems to fit/look good on Dakar tank.  And they are unreasonably expensive...  Anyone out there that might have the original BMW tankbag for sale?

Bought this neglected, run-down TW200 from a farm.  A real workhorse, well-used and probably has seen the best of its days, but as I am a huge fan of these wonderful, unique bikes I decided to give the old one a new life.  I also own a spotless 2007 TW200 and absolutely love the bike, so much...

Looking at some nice bike goodies on e-bay at very reasonable ZAR prices...  Can forum members share their e-bay experiences please: does it actually work?  They say "free shipping": is this true, or are there hidden costs?  What about import tax?  Delivery time they say is 4 - 6 weeks...
