Did you know that the average size car has the uncanny ability to completely fill a (rare) parking area specifically designated for motorcycles? Yup, it's true and when confronting the driver, AFTER yours truly finding a parking "doer & gone" on the opposite side of the shopping centre AND still...

I knocked up this short video to brag about my son's winning ride, at this lekka event that was held in PE this past Saturday.

I'm sure you've all seen videos of first time riders wiping out or crashing into trees and wondered how on earth they managed to do that! Well, I had examples of 2 opposite extremes right after each other earlier this week. A 19 year-old male spent the first hour of a 2 hour lesson on my Puzey...

I bought this bike from a good friend, (who is also trying to troubleshoot it's issue) about 2 years ago. The below issue has persisted on most rides longer than 30km. It always starts up without any issues from cold but will lose power/rev counter flutters and drops to zero revs, after approx...

I captured a video of an 85 year-old biker at another friend's birthday tea-party, just over a year ago. After a "slow start" as far as YouTube "views" go, yesterday alone, it got over 40K views! Strangely, I only discovered today, that Martin Walker, who will be 87 later this year, was the SA...

I just re-registered with WD today (after forgetting my log-in details from a few years ago) One of our local (PE) "Dirt Road Junkies" members mentioned the EC Baviaans Bash and I was all ears as I've been through the Baviaans on several bikes over the last 20 years (some of which can be viewed...
