    Kill Switch or Key?

    The user manuals for the two bikes I have say that the engine should be stopped by turning the key off. I prefer to use the kill switch and then the key, just killing it with the key just feels wrong. It probably doesn't make a difference and I've heard using the kill switch will help stop it...

    So sick of bike dealer BS......

    So I took the plunge and bought a bike last week from a dealer in Gauteng. I'm in the Western Cape and of course as soon as the deal is signed I am the one that has to constantly contact them for updates on delivery etc etc. Never mind, I'm used to that. I also got the normal warranty that gets...

    Ouberg Pass....

    Just returned from a four day solo trip which included going UP Ouberg pass on my Africa Twin.....damn, I was surprised at how difficult it is. The steep uphill sections with the rocks took me by surprise, thought it would be much easier. How does Ouberg pass compare to Sani?

    Do the Japs give a sh*t?

    A few years back I was in the market for an adventure bike and my heart was set on the Africa Twin and went online to see where I could go and view one. Also, I don't rush into buying anything so while I was in the area I decided I would also look at the BMW's, KTM's and the Triumph's. This is...

    Bike Finance BS?

    I have a feeling I'm being ripped off so I'd like to hear some informed opinions here from those in the know. Long story short I'm trading my bike in on another at a dealer, they are settling the finance etc. For the finance they use a financing company and when I got the intial quote the amount...

    5 day meander.....

    I had a two week trip planned to go from Hermanus to Richmond in KZN to visit family. It didn't quite work out that way but more on that later. My intention was to stay off major routes as much as possible and do a scenic trip. Day 1: Hermanus to Prince Albert. I loaded up and headed from Home...

    Longish trip planned

    I'm lucky enough to have 2 weeks for a ride coming up in September. My plan is to ride from our place in Gansbaai to my dad's place near Richmond in KZN. I plan to spend about 3 days there and then ride back again. I don't want to rush, want to stay off the main highways as much as I can, hit...

    Bike Touring Idea

    So since moving to Gansbaai from Pretoria a few months ago I've been blown away by the stunning riding routes available in the area. So it got me thinking about the idea of buying one or two bikes to hire out for people to do day tours. Do you dog's think its a good/bad idea and if you think it...

    Sani vs BEN 10

    So both of these adventures are on my "to do" list but I was wondering how Sani ranks against the passes in the BEN 10 list. Which would be better to do first and at what time of the year is best to attempt either? Thanks in advance :-)
