Would any one know where I could source a new air filter for a XT550. Keep coming up blank with every lead I have followed. Foam or other, doesn't really matter at this point.

Has anybody been up / down the Mitchells Pass pass recently, trying to establish if the stop and go is still in place. It was closed, then in mid June they opened one lane only because of the damage "under" the road, so just wanting to know if it is back to normal as yet.

Does anyone know where I can get my hands of one of these models from Maeisto. Not much on the web, and it seems the places that actually have them for offer, don't actually have any. Store in Cape Town somewhere or online, makes no difference, just want one for my collection.

Anybody watch that yesterday. Managed to catch it live just after the MotoGP, which meant my wife had a peaceful afternoon 😁. Absolutely insane, 500 "qualifiers", 8 official finishers, including Wade Young and Matthew Green from South Africa. Wade was actually fourth with a few km to go, but...

Looking for some input from anyone who perhaps attended the recent Rally Raid or lives nearby and has done some riding there recently. We are up there next week and the information I am able to gather on the condition or level of difficulty for some the the passes is very confusing to say the...

Seems he took his own life due to extreme depression. https://www.speedweek.com/rundstrecke/news/189175/Tragoedie-um-Chris-Pfeiffer-Freitod-nach-Depression.html Very sad situation, for anybody who feels there is no other way out.

We will be in the Oudtshoorn area for a few days in a couple of weeks as part of a bit of a getaway on the bikes, and one day is dedicated to a trip into Die Hell. Doing a bit of research on another topic, I came across this article which seems to indicate there will still be roadworks with...

Saw this on a few Tankwa FB groups. Seems GPS navigation is not for everyone  ;).

I have one Karoo Street tyre which I want to sell. Brand new, never been fitted. 170/60R17 rear. The average price in the tyre shops seems to be around R2550.00, I am looking for R1700.00. Warren 083 603 0420

Recently, I bought 4 sets of Metzeler Karoo Streets, however, we (she) has decided she would rather have full knobblies on the bike, and SWAMBO always gets what she wants  ;).  Therefore I am going to sell two sets of front and rear Karoo Street combo’s, 120/70R19 front and 170/60R17 rear...

Saturday at around 11, we were nine bikes heading towards Katbakkies and as we approached Op Die Berg, there was a small group of people that included women, children and a late teens youngster who lobbed a large stone at the last bike in the convoy, literally right outside the town. It hit...

I am trying to help one of my scooter drivers get his personal ride going again. The bike is currently with Dux who has also already gone out of his way, but now it has been established that the cylinder head has a crack in it that the engineers cannot fix. Needle in a haystack stuff I know...

Just read something from the recent motorcycle stakeholder summit held at the bike festival. In 2013 there were 40 000 new motorcycles sold in South Africa. In 2017 that number had shrunk to 18 500. Not good for the industry as a whole.

Or so it would appear. Cannot find it on any programming.

I bought the screen and the strengthening bracket for the left side from Roodt Griesel here on the forum not so long ago. Unfortunately I cannot get it to work for me and have gone back to a shorty screen that is even lower then the OEM screen. Guess I should have known as I have done this on...

And Guy Martin just announced his retirement from all road racing, while saying the new Fire Blade was a pig to ride. I watched the interview where McGuinness said he didn't know what went wrong, just that he had not made a mistake. Imagine you bike suddenly blipping itself, must be scary...

Saw it during insomnia time last night, thought it was more Facebook kak, but there are a couple of reports emerging............ https://www.reuters.com/article/us-volkswagen-ducati-m-a-idUSKBN19C1XX

Many years ago I was a massive Formula One fan, but my interest waned over the years and now sometimes I will try to catch the start and the end. But seeing as I am now unable to ride a motorcycle for a few months, and there is such a lot of absolute shit, not to mention repeats, on TV, I ended...

Pleased to finally be able to say the second series of 6 programs starts this weekend, 20 May on Channel 189 Ignition. If you take the time to have a look, please let us know what you think. And that is probably that, for me anyway. It’s been such an interesting experience doing this but it...
