I've been interested in trials riding for some time, and I attended this past weekend's nationals in Cape Town. The bug has now thoroughly bit and I would like to give this a try. Is there any place, in and around Cape Town, that one can have a go on a rental bike, and maybe find out more...

I have a colleague that is looking for some 2nd hand motorcycle engines ws he wants to build a go-kart for him and his son. I remember there being a place in Voortrekker road in Maitland that sold old parts and motors, but they either moved or closed down. Does anyone know of similar places in...

Not sure if this is the correct thread. So, this guy get's stuck in the dessert in his car, disassembles it, re-builts it into a bike and rides out. RESPECT. https://hackaday.com/2012/05/21/man-stranded-in-the-desert-makes-a-motorcycle-from-his-broken-car/

OK, did some research and found that the DR600 or DR650, up until 1990, fuel tank should be a perfect fit on my GN250 project bike. Does anyone have a spare one lying around, or know where I might find one? Scratches, dents, crappy paint scheme no problem.

Guys, Just to let you know that Bergie (forum member) had an accident this evening.  It happened on the Durbanville Hills road at the Bloemendal T-junction. He was passing a car when it swerved to the right, forcing him unto the rumble strips.  He lost control and came of at about 80kph.  We...

OK, first off, this is my first post, so please, be gentle. On to business.  I'm currently looking at getting a dual-sport mc.  I've had a long hard look at what is available and the last two left is the XT660 and the KLR650. Now I want to know, which is the better choice.  I'm really into...
